We started trick-or-treating at 6pm. We are finished about an hour later. They are frozen. I am frozen. They kept asking, "Are we done yet?" Welcome to trick-or-treating in the north where frostbite is a legitimate concern!
Amanda at first wanted to be a "witch with no fashion sense". Instead, we convinced her to wear a 7-8 year old boy's ninja costume because that would certainly imply a lack of fashion sense. Julia wanted to be Darth Vader (yes, seriously). Allison wanted to be "Franken-doctor". She has some Frankenstein make-up on (but not much). Matthew was Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots and savior of the world. Did you know that Optimus Prime likes candy? He will run through leaf piles to get to a door and screams very loudly (after ringing the doorbell about 154 times at a particular house), "Trick-or Treat!!!" and/or "Happy Halloween! Do you have any candy?"
Our favorite house? The one handing out Chinese vegetarian health food (I wish I was joking - the closest thing I can approximate it to is "bean granola"....ummmmmm!) So far, only one group has come to our house and we've handed out a grand total of 8 pieces. I have about 15 bags of candy. It's a good thing I got a lot of Reeses and Snickers...
