Today was the start of of my fall break from school. I've been fighting a cold and feeling pretty miserable, so I decided the best way to spend my day off is in my pajamas. Well, the girls went down for their afternoon naps and I realized I hadn't checked to see when our trick-or-treating hours were. Well, imagine my surprise when the article I read online said that trick-or-treating hours were today! So, to the shower I went to try and look presentable since apparently we needed to head out for candy in a few hours.
When Brynlee got up from her nap, I starting prepping her in all things Halloween. We went over trick-or-treat etiquette, got her pumped up for candy, and eventually got her costume on. I fed Brayla, got her costume on, and then we waited for Brandon to get home so we could head out. Once Brandon got home from work, he informed me that there were no kids out and about in the neighborhood. He questioned whether today really was trick-or-treating. I was insistent that it was today, since it was right in the article I read. So out we went.
Our plan was to head first to Brandon's aunt and uncle's house and then afterwards go back to our neighborhood. Imagine my surprise when we pull into Brandon's aunt and uncle's neighborhood and see....nobody. A phone call confirmed my fear. I was wrong. This rarely happens (lol) and Brynlee did not take the news well that we were indeed NOT trick-or-treating tonight. We heard crying the whole way home. Then, when we got home, this is what we got to experience (pardon the dark picture quality).
Upon closer inspection, I realized the article that first appeared when I searched the newspaper's website was from 2008. Awesome. Here's hoping things go a little better when we FINALLY get to trick-or-treat for real :)
