I'm incredibly jealous of all the towns that decide as a community
to do Trick-or-Treating on the Friday or Saturday night
BEFORE Halloween, when it falls on a school night.
A LOT of towns in our area do it like that... except the one we live in.
So tomorrow night we will be hitting the streets!
I can't imagine we will last long though because it's DARK here by 6pm
and the high for tomorrow is a crisp 46 degrees.
We really have to work for our candy in Minnesota.
We do however have a Truck-or-Treat event downtown every year,
the weekend before Halloween. They block off several blocks downtown,
local businesses decorate a vehicle or trailer, and hand out candy.
(And shove business flyers in the hand of every parent as they walk by.)
Its nothing to write home about,
but its an excuse for my kids to wear their costumes, so we're all about it!
Here is a little preview of what's to come tomorrow night...
Cam and JP are Avengers OBSESSED so it was no surprise to us
when we took the kids to pick out costumes that they wanted to be
Captain America and Iron Man.
As for Eva, she picked the pink-est costume she could find.
I don't think she cared what it was, she just saw pink and it was all over.
She's my sweet little Fairy Princess.
I just love them.
And in case you ever need to know, the way to Iron Man's heart is cherry lollipops.
The highlight of Truck-or-Treat was, without question, the train rides.
And the annual candy thief has returned! We didn't even
make it home before Jay was looking through their buckets for Reese's cups.
(And in case you need to know, the way to a grown man's heart is peanut butter.)
Have a HAPPY and SAFE Halloween!
