Bring on the Candy!



Eric points the way for the kids to get going and get that candy! After all, Mom and Dad usually get donations from the kids; they're so nice. Considering they each have a huge bag weighing probably 5 lbs each, they have plenty to spare. Joey was fun to see running to catch up to his siblings and walked during all the Trick-or-Treating. Everyone was tired at the end of the night. When I was a kid we would all dump our candy out, sort it and start offering trades. So it's fun to watch the kids do it now. All right, time to get back to laundry and cleaning. Bye for now!

.....Okay, so it's later and we just did a church Trunk or Treat. Yes, we needed more candy since the first bags just aren't quite full enough. Actually, this candy will be donated to the kids cousins who are in flight today to Nepal (their Dad works for the Gov. and they are going to live there) and are missing Trick or Treating. And also to their Uncle Gary who is in Iraq for a year. So it's for a good cause. Ethan won a prize for scariest costume; he thought that was cool!
The kids are holding candy bars all the way from Grandma Johnson in Utah, carrying on a tradition she enjoyed as a kid. She would go every year to a neighbor's house who would give away an entire candy bar. Thank you so much Mom, you are so fun!

Wow! Looks like everyone got into trick-or-treating! "Beggars night" is tonight and for the first time in a long time, on Halloween. I've never understood the reasoning for not having Halloween on Halloween, but I guess many cities have it designed that way.

Oh, my grandkids look so sweet. And a bit scary. Ethan-what a spooky face you have as the Grim Reaper. Morgan-you are such a cute cowgirl. Awe shucks,if you were chewing on a piece of straw you would convinced anyone you had grown upon a farm/ranch. Katie-I'mnot to sure what you were, ut it was purple and that's Krandma's favorite color, but you also saidyou were a witch. How muchfun is that to go as two diffrent characters. And last, but not least...Joey-you little pumpkin. Wasn't trick or treating fun this year? But who wa that mean old dog n th back...I'd watch out for him. I bet he bites!!! Love Grandma J
