Trick or Treat '09

So this past Saturday, the Bucks were playing the vaunted Aggies of New Mexico State.

Yeah, I know. We were bored to tears as well. 45-0 Bucks. Ho hum.

Colin conked out for a nap at 3:30. We woke him up to get ready for beggars night a bit before six PM, and at first he wanted nothing to do with the costume or candy, none of it. Mary talked him into wearing his "pengin feet" as a start:
After the first several gaggles of kids came by and got FULL SIZE CANDY BARS, he re-thought the whole thing and agreed to put the costume on:

The Elmo bucket helped, a bit.

Daddy got the first leg, taking him up and down one half of the street. He wanted to run:

It was all a lot of fun - he got a lot of attention. People thought he was the Linux penguin, one of the penguins from "Madagascar" and an official mascot of the Pittsburgh Penguins.

"I want a sucker".

Clearly got our money's worth from that sucker.

With Daddy after the trick or treating ended around 7:30.

With Mommy, about the same time.

A "big smile" with Mommy.

Some video of the blessed event:

So there you have it, Trick or Treat '09. We're soliciting input for the costume to be used for '10. Sorry, Rush Limbaugh's Oxycontin bottle, Glenn Beck's pea brain and the true agenda of the "Club for Growth" have already been considered and rejected.

Thanks for stopping by.

Stay classy.
