The lights are on. The candy is ready. The costume bought. But not this year.
This is the year that Halloween that wasn't.
It's cold and rainy. I doubt we'll have even 1 trick or treater tonight.
Alex and I did get out to the pumpkin farm this past weekend and bought two big pumpkins. I found a pattern for SpongeBob and Alex made a face pattern of his own design.
Jon wanted nothing to do with our family outing. So he just stayed home. I reminded him that the "Great Pumpkin" would remember this and pass him and not bring him him any toys and candy this year.
Fortunately, Alex's school hasn't fallen into the anti-halloween trap (too much). So they did have a chance to have a "Fall" party last Friday and to parade around school in their costumes.
(Update: We had about a dozen kids from 6-9 pm. Jon and Alex did make the neighborhood and came home with a couple pounds of dental-decaying goodies.)
