Last Saturday was Halloween. Even though the boys are teenagers, I still encourage them to go trick or treating. SJ wore his Johnny Cage costume (of course) and Bob decided to wear his horse head mask (don't ask...I don't get it). Bob had a soccer friend, Fisher, come over a couple of hours before trick or treating started. I asked Bob and SJ if they would like him to join them. They wanted him to stay, so I had him ask his mom if it was ok. She was fine with it, but he didn't have a costume. Fortunately, he was in his soccer clothes, so he was already kind of in a costume.
Bob's friend Dickie was coming up to our neighborhood to join the three boys. They started out in our neighborhood, which is fairly small. When they were done, I had my husband drive them over to another small neighborhood that is near ours. Dickie had to go home after that, since his dad was having a Halloween party at his house.
After they dropped off Dickie, they returned to our house to get Fisher's stuff. When they got to Fisher's neighborhood, the three boys decided to trick or treat for the third time in Fisher's neighborhood (yet another small neighborhood). When they returned home with my husband, they both had quite a haul. SJ doesn't eat chocolate, so he was willing to give Bob all of his Reese's cups.
We were invited to a bonfire, but both boys were too tired (and probably too sick from all the candy) to go. We stayed at home and watched old monster movies. What a great way to end Halloween night!
Before I sign off, we were also ding, dong, ditched by some of the neighbor kids. Fortunately, they only rang the bell and ran. The next day, we saw that they actually left us a bag of candy. That was the nicest ding, dong, ditch that I ever saw. Happy Halloween all!
