2nd Annual Peep Game!



Last year my dear friend Kat introduced me to the Halloween "PEEP" game. I'm not sure if she created it herself or she inherited it from someone else, but we Giles' are always are up for a good game involving fun and fellowship with our friends. So this year we decided to put the game into action once again. Sadly, a few of our dear friends have PCS'd since last year's festivities, so we decided to introduced some new friends to the game...

First off, here are a few things you need to know about the game.... It involves those smooshy little marshmallow treats called"PEEPS".... You know the ones... They're full of sugar and immediately become stale as soon as you open the package... YUM!!! The object of the game is to spread the "PEEPS" around as much as possible, but to NOT end up with the "PEEPS" at Midnight on O' Hallow's Eve or you're responsible for throwing the first party of the new year. The game has only one rule and that is to use Tricks or Treats but don't get stuck with the "PEEPS". Fun!!!! Well last year The Giles' family were the big Losers or PEEPSTERS due to our weakest link Hailey. She unsuspectingly took the "PEEPS" disguised as a wrapped Halloween gift. If you know Hailey you know she would never turn down a gift even if it is one full of stale marshmallow treats... :) So this year we put both of our girls on full "PEEP Alert"- To accept no gifts or packages in the month of October no matter how tempting they look... :)

This years game took off with a bang and the "PEEPS" ended up in many different locations throughout the month of October.... 10 different families and 20 locations in all... Some of my favorite statements from the game this year were ... "Oh NO! Not the PEEPS!... You BRAT!!! I think there is a rule that you can't 're give' the peeps, right??!... The PEEPS, The PEEPS, The Dreaded PEEPS!...I'm devising a plan to get rid of those smooshy little guys!... Let's have a PEEPS rule interpretation! Ha, Ha!!!!

This years PEEPS game also included some very inventive and tricky gift giving ideas... But my over all favorite was receiving the PEEPS via MPS mail... Way to go Sean & Amanda! You get this years Master PEEP award for overall skill and trickery!!!!! This year's game was tons of fun and I want to thank all of our dear friends for playing along and even as I'm writing this Blog I'm not sure if the family who ended up with the dreaded "PEEPS" are even aware they have them! Hint... Hint... Check in your bathroom!

So the lucky "PEEPSTERS" are the Polizzi Family!

We love you and we are all looking forward to the next party at your house!!!!
