Trick or Treat, Smell my feet


I love October!! I love the change in seasons, the decor and I LOVE Halloween (not to mention my most favorite little girl was born in October)!! I have always loved Halloween, not the dark, scary Halloween but the fun, make believe Halloween that my mother helped create for me as a little girl! My mother was never much on Trick-or-Treating but she always had something fun planned for us. We always attended church carnivals or set up at the end of our drive way to hand out candy to the rest of the kids in the neighborhood. And we always had the best costumes. I have tried to carry those traditions into my own family and until this year we have always enjoyed our Church's fall festival. However, this year our church decided to not do the festival and this left me at a loss. We live in the country so handing out candy was not an option and no one else I knew was having any kind of party. So, Trick-or-Treating we went! I have to admit, I was excited and so was my sweet hubby ... wink, wink!! I also have to admit that I am the mother to the most precious TinkerBell I have EVER seen!!
As we were spreading Pixie Dust all over town I would chant .... "Trick or Treat, Smell my feet. Give me something good to eat. If you don't, I don't care, I'll pull down your underwear." Sum thought it was hilarious and after about the one millionth time she decided to give it a try. "Trick or Treat, Smell my feet. Give me something to eat. I don't care if you don't, I'll pull off your panties." Good Try baby girl ... you'll get it, we have lots of years of practice to come!!
