Trick or Treat Night

Between the little storm we had and West Virginia not having Trick or Treat on the actual 31st, we finally got Trick or Treating in last night.  Isaac, who for the last 5 years has claimed to be too old, was hot and cold about it.  He got dressed up and in the end decided to just man the door for other kids.  He wore this digi camo, with out green paint we did digital print lines on his face.

Lexy on the other hand has been planning her costume for months.  She and her BFF had it all worked out and got to Trick or Treat together.  Her BFF lives in a dense neighborhood so it all made sense to let Lexy go with them.  She had a blast...!!

Of course other obligations were still in order.  After Lexy Trick or Treated I picked her up and took her to the ice rink where Isaac was already practicing.  The first games of this season start this weekend...!!  We are SOOOOOOO excited...!!!

We also attended our church Trunk or Treat Party and Chili and/or Corn Bread Cook Off.  I hadn't planned on it until Mrs. P talked me into it at 5:15pm.  That gave me an hour to cook it and have it to the church.  So I enlisted Isaac to help open packages, season, and stir.  We made some traditional chili and some salmon and white been chili.  The later was quite interesting, but there was none left at the end of the party.  The traditional chili got a little sideways when Isaac said, "Add some of my hot sauce."  His hot sauce is Cholula. (He loves it on his meat and cheese burritos)  I didn't like the flavor once I added it, so we went for HOT... and added a bunch of chili pepper flakes.  I still wasn't happy with the flavor, but it was time to go.  As those flakes cooked into the chili the flavor got better.  It wasn't too hot, it had a nice flavor with a little heat.  Enough that it won the best hot chili at the contest.  That is the second year in a row that I won an award for making chili for this party and neither time was the chili more that an hour old.  Mrs. P was none too thrilled with, "... and he wasn't even planing on coming until 5 o'clock..." :D
