Trick or Treat!

Just as I promised-- the cutest dragon ever!

I am really annoyed by the term "Beggar's Night."  Seems to somehow cheapen the already cheap Halloween/Trick-or-Treating.  However, every year I think it's weird, and every year they still do it.  Maybe next year I'll be used to it and embrace "Beggar's Night" to the fullest?

Regardless of my feelings about "Beggar's Night," Jeremiah was pumped to go Trick-or-Treating tonight!  We enjoyed a yummy Jack-'o-lantern pizza from Papa Murphy's for dinner (such a cute idea-- J thought it was so funny!  Plus, easy cooking night!  I'm thinking this is our new Halloween, er, "Beggar's Night" tradition), and then it was time to get the dragon ready for Trick-or-Treating. 

Sitting nicely for the obligatory pictures.

And then finally 6:00 pm arrived and we could go!  Mommy and Jeremiah did the Trick-or-Treating while Daddy stayed home to greet the masses at our own door (FYI, we bought 2 bags of 100 pieces of candy..... and we have none left).

I apologize in advance for any blurry photos to follow.  The dragon was moving fast!

And he's off!

Hey, Mommy!  This is fun!

Jeremiah quickly understood that we could only go to the houses with their lights on.  But that did not stop him from asking, "Should we go to THIS house?" "Should we go to THAT house?" "What about THAT house?" etc etc.... 

I love that tail!

He did a good job of just taking 1 (or 3) at the houses that had their candy sitting outside.  Saw several people with pumpkins like this with suckers stuck in it.... am thinking maybe it was a Pinterest thing?

Patient dragon waiting his turn.

So fast you can barely see him!

We successfully made it around the block, and even hit a couple extra houses (because, "Should we go to THAT house, Mommy?"  Yes, of course we should.)

Ha ha!  We tricked Daddy and Trick or Treated at our own house!  Hilarious!

We arrived home, and J promptly dumped his bucket out.  Of all the candy he got, he was in search of a specific Tootsie Roll (because "I like Tootsie Rolls SO much, Mommy.)  Thankfully he found it!  And after a few treats from his bag, a nice warm bath, and some stories, our dragon was snoozing away about 7:30 pm.  He had so much fun!  And of course, since tomorrow is actually Halloween, there is more fun to be had at his daycare party. 

Well, I should really take a look in the candy bucket to make sure none of the candy is poisoned.  And I'll have to pick out anything that J doesn't like..... Happy Halloween! :)
