Wow. I hope for you that the rain doesn't freeze under that snow. Yuck.
Trick or treat is always on 10/31 here, no matter what day of the week that is. LVN is too old to go now (I insisted, last year, that he was too old to go) and he loves to hand out the candy to younger kids, but he has to miss even that this Monday because he has a violin lesson.
Trick or treat is always on 10/31 pretty much EVERYWHERE, as it should be. I can see their point about not having kids out late and/or hyped up on candy on a school night but, seriously, if the rest of the country can manage, then why can't we? I do appreciate that there's a time limit: 6-8pm, unlike where my mom lives, where she just eventually has to decide she's had enough and is closing up shop.
I don't really care if teenagers go trick-or-treating as long as they put actual effort into the costume. Most don't, however, which just ticks me off.
Everyone did, indeed, have fun, although MiniPlu is insisting that next year she wants to go dressed as an Eskimo, so she'll be warm enough! (Just watch - next year we'll have a heatwave. :P)
Hope that the snow doesn't put a spanner in such carefully laid plans. Also, good luck, Two, for the belt-test!
As for Hallowe'en, it's so less A Thing over on this side of the pond. To mine eyes, it's like the web goes a little bit crazy (as opposed to its normal decorum, obviously) for those last few days of October every year.
From my super-brief scan, it looks like you had a fair number of trick-or-treaters in your neighbourhood after all! I know it's very much an American holiday, but reports seem to indicate that the concept is slowly spreading, at least amongst English-speaking nations. Hmmm. Does this mean we should start celebrating Guy Fawkes' day, in exchange? ;-)
