Happy Halloween Charlie Brown!

One of the things I love about the fall is that it is the beginning of all the fun holidays thereafter, Halloween, Veteran's Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, well, maybe not Veteran's Day, but you get the idea. And I also really enjoy watching the special holiday movies that come on, like Happy Halloween/Thanksgiving/Christmas Charlie Brown and Rudolph, Frosty, Grinch and many, many more. As cheesy and lacking in the special effects department as they may be, those movies make me happy. You know, bringing back all the warm fuzzies of childhood and stuff.:)

So, in honor of the Great Pumpkin, we took Tig trick or treating and she did absolutely fabulous...for about 10 houses, then she was done. Her little pumpkin bucket was getting pretty heavy, but she never wanted anyone else to carry. Perhaps she was proud of her treasures and didn't want to risk the chance of them being taken away permanently.:)

A few good things we learned from this Halloween holiday, Tig LOVES candy corns and tootsie rolls (and apparently the wrappers too), she HATES pumpkin guts and Almond Joys (they make her gag instantly just by touching them, they don't even have to be anywhere near her mouth), and if you put the costume on a child enough times, she'll learn to like it.:)

Here are some good ones from all of our festivities...

Ummm...candy...ummmm.
I'll take this "deer in the headlights look" picture as a great one. Is seems to be as good as they get sometimes.
Uncle Garth (under the sheet), Scary Cousin Ashley and a "frightened" Tigger.:)
Getting a picture of all three of these cousins is quite a chore.
Why have tricks, when I can make you treats...mmmmm, yummy.
Happy Halloween!
