I want to start by saying that trick or treat this year sucked. And by sucked I mean that even though Avery got to go for a walk and get candy and dress up, it was really not much fun and almost no one in the neighborhood participated. It makes me sad for the kids. I had one family that even gave stickers. I mean talk about spirit, they embody it. I am not sure if they could afford candy or not or if they chose stickers for other reasons, but the fact that they were out there giving out something, that was nice to see. It is better than nothing.
The fact that some people, like this one, did not have a sign saying 'No Candy' or anything upset me. But the fact that THEY WERE HOME pissed me off. There was one house in particular where the guy was home and actually came to to the door to turn his porch light off and on again trying to indicate that he was not participating. Idiot. IF we were T&T at night and the light had any meaning at all it would be the opposite meaning anyhow, ON would me 'I AM giving out candy' while OFF would mean 'I am NOT giving out candy'. Then I have to tell Avery that he is not home because otherwise she was asking me why he did not want to give her candy as if it were something that she did that caused him to not give her candy. Shheesh.
All that being said Avery still had a good time dressing up. And she was darn cute too.
