Trick-or-treat...
So I went trick-or-treating on Monday with the kids. Our destination was the second Walterland. This seemed like the perfect place… lots of houses all pretty close together. And, this is where we went last year.
We went to the first house and Emily got some candy... The woman then told me that we may not have much luck... Apparently, they do their trick-or-treating on the last Sunday in October. I couldn't believe it. Why would you not do it on Halloween? After we walked away, she turned her light off...
We left and went to a different neighborhood... along with every other kid in Dover. This place was crowded as hell, but it was a good time. Emily went as a cowgirl... Natalie went as a little clown.
In the beginning, Emily wasn't real sure about the whole process. It took a few houses before she realized that she should say "Trick-or-treat" after they answer the door and "Thank you" before they closed the door. By the end of the night, she had it all down... she even threw in a "YEEEE-HAAAA" and waved her little cowgirl hat after her "Thank you."
The evening ended with 2 tired little girls and me with some sore feet. When we got home we dumped out Emily pail so we could inspect the contents... This neighborhood may have been a Halloween Mecca, but they sure were some cheap bastards... She got 3 chocolates and the rest was crappy candy... you know the kinds I mean... some stupid peanut butter chewy things and dum-dum lollipops... I guess beggars can't be choosers. Emily was happy with her payload so I didn't say anything either.
