Our Halloween was actually pretty good-as in we got a great stash of candy. In past years we've passed out candy would only get a handful of trick-or-treaters, so I just assumed that all the courts around here were like that and that since our neighborhood was composed of a lot of singles and older people that they just didn't get into the Halloween spirit. So we got the kids ready for trick-or-treating expecting to just hit a few houses and that would be exciting enough, but just a block over from us was all the action. I went out with the kids, and Chris stayed home to work and pass out candy (we probably had about 5 groups this year). Jack was a little hesitant at first but then quickly realized what was going on and had a blast. Despite the rain that started to fall, it was hard to get ourselves to stop and come inside. The goings were good, I didn't even take Juliet to all the doors and we still got a ton of candy, and still have some today. I think the reason our specific court doesn't get a lot of action is because of where it is positioned; it is across from some woods and it takes a little bit more effort to walk to from other more concentrated zones, so it just doesn't work with maximizing the flow of candy. But that is fine with me.
As you can see from the pictures below, Juliet was a pumpkin and Jack was a skeleton, but he really wanted to be a pirate. Maybe next year. Also part of the fun of the candy is playing with it for days afterward. He does pretty well at not eating it without our permission. Juliet on the other hand quickly realized what was inside so we had to keep it away from her.
The before and after trick-or-treating pictures are reversed below. Sorry.
