Grandparent Gravy - Halloween

I know they've been waiting to see pictures of the trick-or-treaters!

We had a lovely time with cousin Audrey, who came and trick-or-treated with the Zoo babies.  She was a cute farmer girl, complete with freckles.  Tooter, who didn't know what trick-or-treating really was and couldn't tell me what he wanted to be, got to be a "black-eyed Pea".  And Poodle, who had a costume to be a princess ballerina (what she told us a month ago she intended to be) and even had a "real" Snow White costume, said one day before Halloween that she wanted to be Cinderella.  Uh-huh.  Okay.  So, scrooge Mommy, who wouldn't go out to buy a costume at the last minute, helped her pieces-parts a costume from what we had at home.  The wedding dress was from SueSue two years ago, the gloves are from sweet Allison at church, the shoes came from Maggie, the headband...  (gosh, was that Allison's too?  Maybe that was from Kimberly.), and Poodle and I made the ribbon necklace together.  Honestly, I thought Poodle was pretty creative!

It was fun - we trick-or-treated on Thursday night, instead of Friday, because our county wanted to leave the sheriff's department free for the football games on Friday.  But our whole neighborhood was out.  We had a lot of customers that night!

And Tooter now asks for his "treat treat treak" candy.  It's cute.  To us, anyway.  ::grin::  We think that he'll be all over this T or T thing next year.  :-)
