Halloween was a great day. After our fun activities and a nap (for the kids and Brad), we had an early dinner and then got into costume.
We set out to trick or treat around 6 o'clock. In Pennsylvania, you can only trick or treat during a certain two-hour window (6 to 8) on a certain day (usually not the 31st of October.) In Texas, there are no such rules. You can trick or treat on Halloween every year at whatever time you like. So we decided to start at 6 along with a few friends, but for quite a while it felt like we were the only ones.
The kids started out racing from house to house but couldn't keep up that pace for too long. There were lots of breaks to rest and play and look at candy (and for adults to refill their cups.)
The fun was nearly over by 8 and completely over by 9. But between the relatively late night and the time change, we're all a bit out of sorts today.

The candy, most of which was left for the Halloween Fairy, who took it away and left a box of Lego.

How cute! Your parents are too funny!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I didn't know about the Halloween fairy- I just take the candy gradually over time and throw it in the trash.
