trick or treat!

Due to Hurricane Sandy, our trick or treat night was moved to Saturday.  SJ was so excited for this wonderful tradition.  He was dressing up as Super Mario.  Our one neighbor boy was planning on walking around with him.  I asked my husband if he would walk them around, but he said Bob could do it.  Bob is not even 12 yet and he is convinced that he is too old for trick or treating.  (Really, Bob.  I was trick or treating until I was high school.  Now way is he too old!)

When the neighbor came down with his dad, my husband informed him that Bob would be walking them around.  Our neighborhood is fairly small (less than 30 houses).  The dad went home and the boys were off.  It took them less than 25 minutes to do the whole neighborhood. 

We hung out at our house and passed out candy to the other kids.  When trick or treat was over, we went over to our friends' house for another Halloween party.  There were 5 boys and 6 girls there.  The boys were right on their electronics or having a Nerf war while the girls were busy playing together. 

We stayed at our friends' house until after 11.  Around 11 o'clock, SJ was getting pretty tired (I was too, but I was fighting off bronchitis!).  He kept asking us to go, but my husband was having a great time.  I continued to tell SJ we would leave "in a few minutes".  A few minutes lasted almost an hour. 

We said our goodbyes and gathered up all of our treats.  I was so glad that we got to spend more time with our friends.  It was a great way to wrap up our favorite holiday!
