Happy belated Halloween! It's almost become tradition where we go TOTing (trick-or-treating) with about 4 of our next door neighbors every Halloween. We all have kids around the same age, and it's just nice to get out.
Lucas did not want to have anything to do with his costume even though he had picked it out in the store. He was pretty much crying as we put it on him. Although, once he realized what TOTing was about, he was very happy. He would say hi to the people and then say "TAY TOO!" (ie thank you) after he got candy.
There was only one upsetting incident that happened as we were all out. Some girl was backing out of a driveway and almost hit a kid - no one from our group. Then she proceeded to speed up, and while the parents in our group were telling her to slow down, she decided to yell, "F@#$ YOU!" out the window. I'm sure she had no idea that one of the parents in our group was a police officer, but after she sped off, he went to go talk to the home she had departed from. They were saying that once she leaves their property, she's not their responsibility. Anyway, we let him deal with them and continued TOTing.
Of course, the kids were pooped by the time we got home. We just put the candy up in the pantry and had pizza for dinner. Good thing they didn't have homework that night!
