Halloween
November 5th, 2011. (3 years, 5 months old.) by benThis year, I was really looking forward to Halloween.
We started the day before by making our Jack O’Lantern. I drew the face, Daddy did the carving, and Mommy scooped out the pumpkin guts!
And I helped transport the guts to the greens bin.
On the big day, I got the candy ready to hand out by sorting out the best kinds.
After handing out candy for a bit, I put on my fireman costume, and went out with Mommy.
When I got back, I got to have some of the candy I’d gotten! Kit-Kats and Milk Duds. Mmmmmmm!
After that, it was back to handing out candy for the rest of the time until we ran out. M&D said we had 236 trick-or-treaters come to our door! I’m only 3, and even I know that is a lot! When we ran out of candy, Daddy asked me if I wanted to give away the candy I’d gotten to the trick-or-treaters that were still coming. I said, ‘No’.
Ben, you and mom and dad sure had a busy Halloween! I really liked your jacko lantern face on the pumpkin—I couldn’t have done better myself! By the way, pumpkins don’t have “guts”—the insides are the seed for the next crop of pumpkins. But they sure are sticky and feel really funny, don’t they? Maybe you could find a few of those seeds and plant them in the ground for next year’s pumpkins. Mom is really good at that stuff. You looked so cute in your skeleton and fireman costumes! Hang on to your candy, but don’t forget to share a bit now and then. You know, Ma and Pa are coming to visit in two weeks and we really like a piece of candy once in awhile! Luv yu, Ma
Ha! I would not want to give away my special stash either Ben! I cannot believe how many trick-or-treaters you guys had!!!! Holy Cow!
