Beggars Night

So, of course we procrastinated finding Peyton her Halloween costume this year so didn't really get what we really wanted.  She has been OBSESSED with Rapunzel, Symba (Lion King) and now Ponyo.  Our original thought was Rapunzel but they didn't really make one small enough for her.  We also looked for an Elmo one since we all now she loves him, but no where had any left in her size either.  We ended up finding her ladybug dress on clearance already so it worked out and was still adorable.  We tried one last time to find a lion costume but no luck so the ladybug she was.  Gma and Gpa Dirks, Great Gma Verla and Tyson came down for beggars night.  For some reason, in Iowa they do trick-or-treating the night before Halloween and call it Beggars Night.  The kids are supposed to tell you jokes instead of saying trick-or-treat.  Some do, but most just take the candy and run!  Here's the only joke I remember....Knock Knock - Who's there? - Yodaleigh - Yodaleigh who? - I didn't know you could yodle!  We ventured out to three houses on the street and Peyton thought it was pretty awesome......after we left Grant's house.  We started at our next door neighbors house, they have two kids, Grant and Gabby that Peyton likes.  Well Grant was dressed as a skeleton this year and had a mask, Peyton did not like that one bit and was pretty scared of him.  I wanted to get a picture of them but even after he took the mask off, she wasn't feeling it.  After two more houses we decided it was too cold and went back home to hand out candy.  Peyton loved all the kids coming to the door.  Greg and Sheryl were just as excited about it as Peyton was.  Greg taught her that the kids come and get candy, then they go home.  So Peyton would greet them at the door, then say, "Go Home!"  Nice huh!
