Trick or Treat Drills

Little Bug has been so excited about Halloween that she's wanted to play "Trick or Treat" which sounds like "Turkey-treat" when she says it. The game works like this, I stand behind her bedroom door and she'll knock and yell, "turkeytreat". I toss candy in her plastic pumpkin and she yells, "THANKYOU" then slams the door. Repeat...until we run out of candy.

Then she decided we'd switch roles and I'd be the one to knock on the door. So I knock on her bedroom door and she doesn't answer it. After waiting for a while, I open the door and see that she's opened one of the candy wrappers and is about to eat the chocolate. She looked up at me like the cat that ate the canary and said, "surprise mommy, look-I-open-it".

It has been raining all day, so even though she has practiced so much I'm sure she'd win the gold medal for trick or treating, we might not be knocking on too many doors tonight.
