trick-or-treat

well, the 2013 trick-or-treating adventure was a success.  after many conversations with neighbors about trick-or-treating with little kids, we came up with a plan.  many of the neighborhoods do trick-or-treating in their downtown/business areas.  personally, i'm fine with that.  it's easy, it's safe, and it's not like a two year old needs a ton of candy.  george is not so hot on this idea, he prefers to trick-or-treat door-to-door.  when i looked into this there were maps you could add your address to so people knew they could trick-or-treat at your house.  it was all very strange.  and way more stressful than trick-or-treating with a 2 year old and a 5 month old should ever be.

the plan:
1. pick george up from work
2. stop at a busy neighborhood on the way home
3. start by trick-or-treating at the shops
4. see where our night took us from there

it was the perfect plan, that led to the perfect night.  the neighborhood was packed! so many shops were giving out candy.  there were a ton of kids squirt's age.  he had a great time!  he did a really good job saying "trick-or-treat" and "thank you"!  i think the kids were hitting up the houses in that neighborhood too, but there was no need.  we were out a little more than an hour and his candy bucket was full!
