4 November

Well, Trick or Treating took place on November 3rd this year.  And we played a long and didn't really get mad about it (because people, it's not like the town cancelled our wedding).  Trevor went off with his friends (knew this would happen sooner or later), and the four of us traveled just our neighborhood with a big pack of kids going from house to house.  Bre said she was done after two houses, and wanted to go home to eat her candy......but we made it all the way through.  I have to admit, I'm not a huge fan of Halloween, in fact I was hoping to skip the whole trick or treating thing all together, but in other ways....doing something once a year is just a great way to mark the passage of time.  I remember many years, trick or treating from the car with Just Trevor while two babies slept in their costumes in their carseats.  I remember cold days and warm days.  I remember going all the way to Windham to visit our friends and party it up in their neighborhood.  (b/c friends didn't matter to our kids back then).  Now, I have one off with his friends and two others waiting in the wings running down the street far ahead of the adults who are pulling a cart of choice beverages and snacks behind them.  Yep, Halloween, its kind of growing on me.
