Trick-or-Treating

The girls were by themselves this year for trick-or-treating. Aslan was invited over Dylan's house (who were so excited to see each other, that they got too busy playing and didn't want to trick-or-treat). Rodger was speaking at a men's retreat so, the girls had the night to ourselves.
The streets were packed this year and we were bombarded by hoards of kids every time we went to a door. The girls held their own and used very good manners. (Makes a momma proud!) We made sure to head to grandma's house and made it there right before she ran out of candy. She told us that within one hour she was out of candy. We had a great time and really enjoyed seeing all our neighbors.
One compelling thought: I always think how sad it is that this is the one time of year neighborhoods do something together. A night that I would rather not celebrate. I don't like passing up an opportunity to connect with neighbors.
