Brr...trick or treat...smell my feet..

Friday night we went to the Jennings' house for the second year in a row. We enjoyed some pre-event Subway for dinner. Their children dressed up as a pink lady and a "cool guy" (he looked like James Dean-so precious). Ella and Sophia wore their costumes for the THIRD time. Wed we went to Boo at the Zoo, then Thurs we went to my old high school and trick-or-treated. Some of the high school kids dressed up the classroom doors and wore costumes. It was a little too spooky for Ella. I couldn't get any pics b/c it was too dark. Sophia didn't know what to do, so I had to hold her the whole time (she is heavy). Kids were everywhere and it was dark. They were very generous with the candy. I was disappointed with some of our friends' neighbors. Some people had their houses decorated and even had their pumpkins lit on the porch, but wouldn't answer the door to give out candy! I remember growing up, there were very few houses that didn't have their lights on. We would be out pretty late with our dad and the people in our neighborhood were up in age for the most part. Is the recession that bad? On the other hand, there was another family who had a huge fire in their house not too long ago and it looks like major construction is happening. As we walked by we noticed the sweet owner was still handing out candy and glow-in-the-dark bracelets even though they couldn't live in the house. Now, that's the spirit!
