CANDY!

Yesterday was a weird day. After supper Mommy and Daddy put this dumb costume on me again. They know I don't like it. I tried to scream and fight but then Daddy gave me Smarties. I was so busy enjoying the Smarties I didn't realize that Mommy had got the whole costume on me. I was kinda upset. But then I got to go in the car and I got to bring my candy bucket with me. A candy bucket is something Grandma gave me a few days ago. She showed me how to bring it to people and they'll put candy in it. I like my candy bucket. I didn't like that stupid costume.

First we stopped to get Aunty Ang. Then we stopped to see fake Aunty Dionne. Neither of them gave me candy. Then we went out to Grandma & Grandpa's. Grandma had little packages with chips in them. I really like chips. And she had chocolate. She gave me LOTS of chips and chocolate. And nobody minded when I stole candy from the box and put it in my bucket. They seemed to be too distracted by my costume.

Next we did something really weird. Grandpa, Mommy, Daddy and Aunty Ang took me outside where we walked over to the neighbour's houses and knocked on the doors. All these strangers would come to the door and look at me. It was kinda scary. But then they gave me candy too!! My bucket was so full. This one lady even gave me a ball! By the last house I'd kinda gotten the hang of this whole thing. I guess if you dress up funny and have a candy bucket it's all right to go knock on strangers doors and take candy from them.

After going to strangers houses we went to Grandma & Grandpa's church. There were lots of kids there running around. Some of them were wearing costumes too. And Aunty Susan was there to give me more candy. I was shy for a bit but then I ran around like the rest of the kids. I ate more Smarties and ran up and down a ramp. I really didn't mind my costume any more. How could I not like something that got me this much candy!

We got back into our car and on the way home Aunty Ang and I had a candy fight in the back seat. I threw all the candy from my bucket at her! It was so much fun! I felt all tingly and hyper.

When we got home I played with Grandma Dianne and Sara a bit. Then they took my costume off and I wasn't allowed to have any more candy. Mommy, Daddy and I sat on the couch and watched a new movie Over The Hedge. It's not as good as Madagascar, but I'll watch it again.

It turned out to be a pretty good night. I wonder if I'll get to do it again tonight?
