Our Halloween!

First of all I'd like to thank Nana for sending me the window stickers and letting me borrow her hippy clothes. I also want to thank Grammie and Grampa for sending me the Halloween card, stickers and $5.00. Aunt Ruth gets a big thank you too for my new Halloween necklace. I've been wearing it a lot. I also want to thank Mom and Dern for closing down Planet so we could go trick or treating together like a family.

Now for the trick or treating part! Yesterday Mom stayed home from work to make my costume. She put patches and on jeans and washed my new tie die shirt. We waited for Dern to come home from work. I got ready. My mom decorated my jeans really nice. They have a smiley face flower with a stem on one knee, and a heart with a patch that says love on it on the other knee. On the back I have a giant rainbow heart on my butt and a yellow peace sign on my right leg. My shirt is pink tie die and we bought it at the Octoberfest on Sunday. Over my shirt I had on Nana's brown leather vest with fringes hanging down. I had her purse that matched for my candy bag. I put my hair in a fancy style and a pink bandana on my head. My mom painted a smiley face, a peace sign and a heart on my cheek. I think I looked nice.

Mom wore her overalls with her pumpkin headband and Dern wore an alligator hat that we got at the Octoberfest. I wanted Mom to wear her table cloth dress to be someone from the Titanic, but we didn't have time to do that.

Around 5 pm we went to our friend's Brian and Leslie's house to show them my costume. Brian was carving pumpkins. They had a big bon fire going and were getting ready for kids to come. Then we went to Planet to call our other friend Donny and his daughter Ariana. They were going on our same route and we wanted to go with each other. They met us at Planet. They brought their dog Rocky who had a cape and a red mask. He was supposed to be a devil.

We trick or treated next to the golf course in Los Osos. It was really fun. There were a lot of kids. My purse got so full that I had to put some of my candy in Mom's and Dern's pockets. Towards the end we came to a house where an old man was sitting out on his porch playing a banjo. I thought that was pretty fun. We took his picture.

After we were done trick or treating we went back to Brian and Leslie's. Brian had his devil mask on and a cape. He was out scaring the grown up neighbors, not the kids. Leslie was wearing an I Dream of Jeanie outfit. When Brian came back we didn't see him at first. He said, "Darn it, it's only Darren and Paulina." He was hoping to scare more people. He scared me a little bit, but I was used to it from the other night when I saw him at work. A big ol' devil face coming at you is going to scare you! We stayed for a little bit until my arm got too tired from holding my candy bag, so we left to go get some dinner.

We ended up doing Taco's de Mexico for dinner. It is a really good Mexican food place. After dinner we went home and went to bed. I was really tired! All in all I had a really good Halloween. The next two blogs show some pictures of our Halloween night!
