My husband and I were so excited to be able to attend the Halloween festivities held at the home and neighborhood of our son, daughter-in-law and little Grand Girl and Grand Boy!
Several of their friends were also present, along with their very own excited little kiddos. However, before the Trick or Treaters headed out the door, there was some wonderful food to enjoy!
Besides two types of soup and some yummy hot dogs, there were these great treats! Apple slices were smeared with peanut butter, then lined with miniature marshmallows, to give us a delicious and fun snack! The little folks at the party gobbled them up! (So did many of us big folk!)
YES!!! Beneath the plastic wrap were scrumptious homemade cinnamon rolls. . . I was in heaven!
OOOOOOOH MY, and this little dip was a major hit!
After our tummies were full and the children had donned their costumes....it was time to head outside!
Last Saturday evening, the 31st of October, was the perfect night for Trick or Treating!! The weather was a bit nippy and the night sky was clear and dark. . .making the gorgeous moon a splendid light to show the children the way from house to house!
Our Grand Girl wore the "DOROTHY" outfit from her Wizard of Oz Birthday Party (last June)! She also carried the PINK Jack-O-Lantern I posted about earlier! How very lucky for ME that she used that container to hold her bounty of candy. . . that made it easier for me to share our Halloween evening with you on PINK SATURDAY!!
Last year, the Grand Girl was pretty hesitant about Trick or Treating. . . but not THIS year!!! No sir! Not even the scary pumpkins and . . . . .
spooky flying skeletons and . . . .
tables filled with (gasp!!!!!) BODY PARTS kept her from moving forward in her search for Halloween Treats !!!!!
(Note: they have some fun neighbors who clear out their garage and set up the most amazing Halloween spooktacular!)
That's right!! NOTHING was going to stop the Grand Girl in her "Dorothy" outfit from filling her PINK candy container. . . not even a BIG pooch disguised as a witch or. . .
a scary house with BIG eyes peering out the front window and GIANT spiders hanging everywhere and two giant masked men standing guard at the front door!
OK, OK, I have to tell the truth. Little "Dorothy" skipped this house. . . . but it was pretty cool! These folks go all out in this neighborhood!
"Dorothy" preferred the calmer homes with the "non-costumed" candy dispensers!
While the Grand Girl traipsed from house to house, accumulating candy loot, her brother, aka "THE CHICKEN" snoozed in his stroller! These sweet Corgi's were out and about that night, too, . . . they loved looking at the cute little "CHICKEN" !
Yep, THE CHICKEN enjoyed the cool night air and pretty much slept during the entire outing!!! By the way, his big sister wore that very same Chicken Outfit on her first Halloween!!! :)
So, as THE CHICKEN slept, DOROTHY continued her candy quest. . . .
going from house. . .
to house, until . . . .
she ran into this!!!! Sadly, the candy supply had come to an end!! It was time to call it quits and go sort the loot!!
When we arrived home that evening, I told THE STONE RABBIT how great the PINK Jack-O-Lantern looked filled to the brim with DOROTHY"S treats!! He said he wished he could have seen the Grand Girl and Boy Trick or Treating, but he enjoyed staying home and passing out treats!!! He said their were tons of little Trick or Treaters in our neighborhood, too!
I have to add this awesome picture!! This beautiful dog is GLORY. . . she's all dressed up in her PINK wings and scarf and ready to attend the party held in the classroom in which she is the "therapy dog" for many lucky children. Glory owns Michelle, who so kindly sent this photo to me to share with you for PINK SATURDAY! To read my older post about Glory, just click (HERE)!!!
Isn't she wonderful? :)
I hope you all have a fantastic PINK Saturday!
