Beggar's Night & Halloween

Last night we celebrated Beggar's Night, which is the same thing as Trick-or Treating. I have always known to trick or treat on Halloween, so this was new for us. I guess that every year it is a different day and sometimes it falls on Halloween. Why? Not sure. So last night we took Adeline Trick or Treating. I wasn't sure if she was going to like it, because she seems to get shy around people she doesn't know. I was wrong though. She loved it! She even helped to tap on the doors and gladly held out her pumpkin for them to put candy in.... and she KNEW she was getting candy. Afterwards, she would even say "tank tu" to them. Our neighbors that love Adeline so much even got her a little special treat bag filled with treats. I was very pleased with how the night went. Our neighborhood was packed full of little kids walking around and a lot of the neighbors were camped right outside of their doors passing out candy. Here are a couple pictures of last night.




When we got home from Trick or Treating, Adeline went through her huge stash of candy and picked out all the suckers and was trying to eat all of them. I ended up giving her one and she ate it in about 2 minutes. She practically begged me for another one, so I gave in for a second sucker. Halloween is only once a year, right? By the way, I have almost finished off her stash of candy :)


This morning for Halloween, Adeline and I went to the mall and met Alexis and Laura (& their kids) to go to a little Halloween party. It was pretty lame, so we just ended up letting the kids play in the play area in the mall and then went to the pet store. Tonight, Abe, Adeline and I went to a Halloween party at our neighbors house. We got invited late last night, so did not have costumes. I just ended up being a cat and made pretty lame cat ears and Abe wrapped himself up in cling wrap and was "dressed" up as leftovers. He won't let me post a picture, so you can just use your imagination. Let's just say that both our costumes were pretty lame! Here is a picture of Adeline and I tonight-- two cats.
