Our church usually has a huge fall festival on Halloween, so we aren't normally home for any trick-o-treating. However, crazy rain caused UBC to cancel the festival, so we geared up for a night of kids and candy at home.
Our little guy was a Midnight Yell Yell Leader in his little maroon shirt and decked out overalls. He even had maroon shoes for a finishing touch. Yes, last year he was a game day Yell Leader, and he even had maroon shoes then. That's not easy to pull off, but last year they were a gift and this year they were hand-me-downs!
Man Cub had a blast trick-o-treating, once he figured out that we weren't going to drop him off at a stranger's house. Ha! That's never happened to him, but he sure wasn't going to let tonight be the night it started, either. I walked to a few houses with him and Isaac before heading home to set up a little spot in our hay bales to pass out candy. The dogs would go nuts if I was opening and closing the door all evening, so I camped on the porch to greet the neighbors. I have no idea how many ghouls and goblins we had, but it was drizzling or full on raining the entire hour I was out. Both of the huge bags of candy I had were gone, and I give out big handfuls, so my guess is about 30 kids. Not bad for such a crummy night. And yes, we pass out puppy treats too.
Man Cub lasted about 30 minutes with Isaac. His little orange pumpkin bucket was filled to the brim when he came home, so he did well for himself. And yes, we'll share the candy with him, but I don't think he'll eat much of it. Man Cub just isn't a sweet lover. That excites me and saddens me all at the same time.
Happy Halloween! We hope you had a wonderful evening being silly or scary, or a little of both, with those that you love!
