Halloween Weekend Update


Wish I had a great intro for my Weekend Update like SNL, but no such luck. But . . . our weekend was lots of fun! We started Friday night by having BFF Mei and her Mom over for dinner before trick or treating! Oh yeah, I go all out for company -- we had hot dogs, chips and nachos!! Hey, at least I knew the girls would eat the fancy fare I made and I was right -- they gobbled it right up!! :) Here they are just before starting out -- Mei was one of the girls from Camp Rock and Maddy was . . . well, the Princess Witch! The hat only lasted for the photos!






After going a few blocks during which time, the girls raced from door to door and argued (in a nice way, of course) over who got to ring the doorbell, we ended up back at our house. Then the real fun for them began. Yes, they both said it was more fun to hand out candy than actually trick or treat! Blasphemy -- if you ask me!! When I was kid -- it was all about procuring a LOT of treats! Alas, the competitiveness of these two BFFs continued as they each had a bowl of candy. They didn't wait for the trick or treaters to come to the door --- no, they went out to the front walk to grab unsuspecting trick or treaters to try and be the first to throw candy in (or in some cases), at the little ghosts and goblins who chanced upon our walk! It was loads of fun and the weather was so great -- that there were lots and lots of trick or treaters out -- which kept both girls busy and happy!! Now, it's Sunday night and time to get ready for school and the week ahead. Hoping that the teachers are ready for a bit of sugar overload tomorrow!

What fun...and hey...I'd come over for dinner anyday...sounds like my kind of fete!!! :-)

Maddy does look happy...but I agree...passing out cnady instead of gathering it??? Is it upside down day???

Have a good week...it should be an interesting one to say the least!!!

The girls look so cute and sounds as if they had a fun night! I guess it is better to give than to receive - but I would rather receive the candy than pass it out:) Oh well it all sounds fun. Hope you have a great week!

You are so funny...I am surprised they ate anything for dinner! Our kids were so hopped up about trick or treating they wanted no part of dinner!!

The girls look so cute....I think it is hysterical that they wanted to hand out instead of go door to door!! It must have been fun for the two of them to be together!!

Sounds like a wonderful night!!

PS....I like to keep all my bloggy buds on their toes!!

You rock... hot dogs, chips, and nachos! My libby liked handing out the candy too... I guess our girls know in their hearts that all the candy they could want is theirs for the taking anyhow--- in the basket by the door. ;)

I love coming over to your blog - Maddy is always got the biggest smiles! She is the happiest little witch around! LOL - my little Princess isn't much of a trick-or-treater and would rather hand out candy too - only problem is that no one comes to our door!

Ladybug hugs,

I know, wouldn't you hate to be a teacher on Monday morning after Halloween? How crazy to even try and fight all that sugar! :) Your sweet Maddy looks so pretty! And you gotta love the hot dogs and nachos!
