Trunk or Treat

Once again our church (Glenwood) had a Trunk or Treat party in our parking lot. It was a beautiful Fall night and lots of people came! Beth and I shopped at the local Halloween store for costumes and creepy stuff - spiders, dry ice, snakes, etc. I picked up lots of chocolate candy at Sams. Naturally I had to sample all the different kinds - I just finished an Almond Joy. I promise I won't eat any more candy - really - I promise.

Beth sent Matt to buy his own costume and this is what he picked out - yep it's a penguin. When he first started putting it on I thought Power Ranger? Duck?? Penguin??? Just when I thought he couldn't surprise me he goes and does. Ah Matt.

It was surprising how many people wanted to take their kid's picture with the penguin. But here are a few family pictures. First wife and penguin.

Then mother-in-law, penguin and wife. No jokes about "witchy" mothers-in-law, please.

Then father-in-law and penguin. So we had fun. The only snag was the plastic tub I put the dry ice in was cracked and water leaked all over my trunk. Oh well. Matt says he already planning how the penguin will show up next year: Surfer Penguin, Lawyer Penguin, etc. Happy Halloween!!!
