I noticed that the number of houses to go to was WAY down this year. I am thinking maybe folks just didn't have the extra money for candy to pass out.
My youngest son (4 yo) really enjoyed trick or treating this year. He had the concept down. He displayed his best manners and said Trick or Treat and a hearty Thank You after receiving the candy.
His problem was that he couldn't discern who the right folks to say trick or treat to were.
So, he ended up trick or treating fellow trick or treater's! A bunch of teenagers were happy to oblige and gave him candy out of their own bags.
He and his five siblings had a great night!
