Trunk or Treat

Our church started a tradition a few years ago, when Pastor Nathan became our Children's Pastor. It's called Trunk or Treat. You may have heard of this or even participated in a Trunk or Treat event. Folks come out to the church parking lot and decorate their trunks (some much more elaborately than others) and fill their trunks with candy. Then the kiddos go to each car and Trunk or Treat. There's also a bounce house, games, a haunted house (sort of) and FREE FOOD! The best part about Trunk or Treat is fellowship. It's a wonderful time to fellowship with your church family and possibly meet some new folks as well. We have participated every year and always fill up our trunk (or whatever you call the back of a suburban) with candy. A few years ago, when Elli was born, The Payne Train decided to dress in a theme. We have been cowboys and a baseball team, and this year we were straight out of Happy Days. For you young uns out there, that's a show that was set in the 50's...the one with the Fonz (HEYYYYYY -that's what he always said). We donned poodle skirts, bobby socks and ponytails. Cal and NPayne went with the rolled up jeans and t-shirts. Of course NPayne was sporting his cons (that's short for converse) as well. No pictures of me this time, because I couldn't find a flattering one or even a favorable one in the ones NPayne took....maybe after I dress up this weekend, I'll post a photo of myself. That way I can plan ahead... suck in, turn to my good side, and stick my chin out (to avoid the chicken chin-you know the double looking chin even when you don't really have a double chin?). We will just have to wait and see.
