It wouldn't be Halloween without Trick or Treating with our friends from school. 
Or going on a hayride to Trick or Treat with our friends.
Our scary & sweet Trick or Treaters.
For the past couple years we've gone to a friend's house to celebrate Halloween. This year we brought chili, fruit salsa (with cinnamon pita chips), and spooky cookie cups (chocolate chip cookies in muffin cups with whipped cream on top to make the ghosts). We also had brats & hot dogs on the grill as well as veggies/dip, fruit w/ chocolate dip, cake, cookies & brownies. Sugar overload anyone?
The kids had a blast & we managed to get then to sit down to eat before heading out to T or T. Why on Saturday you ask? Because Sunday is a school night, silly! Now, work with me on this one. When Halloween is on Monday-Thurs. it's celebrated on those nights. Aren't they school nights as well? If you said "yes", you'd be right. Some crazy logic down here in Dixie!
There was great debate in our town as to when Trick or Treat should happen. At first, city council had it for Saturday, and after getting bombarded with phone calls, they voted to move it back to October 31.
ReplyDeleteIt's crazy. Don't use the "school night" excuse because it makes no sense. I have to admit---it was nice to be able to watch the Pats game yesterday without interruption!
ReplyDeleteThat was the big thing here, too. /eyeroll/
ReplyDeleteYour logic makes perfect sense to me. They left it up to the individual neighborhoods in our area. Ours went with Sunday and we gave out over 350 treat bags, so I'd say lots of people just let their kids go to bed a touch late that night. ;)
