Trunk or Treat

Last night we had a Trunk or Treat at church. Emmaline was really excited to go and Liliana had no clue what she was in for. We are lucky that Liliana loves to dress up AND she loves to put things in bags and carry it around. Halloween is right up her alley!

About half way through making the rounds around the parking lot, Liliana really got the hang of it. She knew if she held out her bag and said, "tee-tee" that people would put things in it! She would NOT let go of her bag for anyone and was struggling to carry it by the end. The bonus for us is that about half the candy that they got wasn't safe for Emmaline, so AJ and I had to sort it out of the basket and keep it for ourselves. Bummer.

Also another fun tidbit - this very kind, yet odd, older lady in our ward was handing this out for treats:


Yes - those are pill bottles filled with animal crackers. VERY odd indeed. This is the part where I brag on Emmaline. She observed that it didn't have a label to check, so she wouldn't be able to eat it (not that we would have let her anyway). Good job Emmaline!

Oh, Bethany, THAT is taking recycling way too far...Yuck !

Good girl Emmaline !

BTW, Does that older lady bring plastic containers/ food storage bags to functions that serve food and load up for the week ?

Reminds me of someone we once knew...
