Happy Halloween

The baby is learning how to trick or treat - graciously.

Yesterday, while out begging for candy from the neighbors on our street (who almost always have an early Hallowe'en so they can spend the real holiday on more populated streets), she learned some of the finer points of Trick or Treating.

item - when in polite society, one does not take something for nothing
Foo's take: when offered a bag of Hallowe'en candy, reciprocate with a rock from the driveway

item - never, ever, should one eat and run
Foo's take: not satisfied with merely trading rocks for Hallowe'en goodies, she felt compelled to cross thresholds and enter the kitchen with a "let's have some candy and a nice little chat" attitude

item - treat your neighbors as you would your family
Foo's take: she approached our house (i.e. returned home) with her goody bag extended and the cutest 18 month old rendition of "trick or treat" I think I have ever heard


The only downside to the whole weekend was the realization that we REALLY don't have enough space for a pony on our property.

Tonight we're off to Trick or Treat at Auntie S's house - and possibly Auntie C's as well! AH the joy of Hallowe'en!
