So....all of my original plans fell through this weekend, but that's ok...it was still a good one :)
Last night a big bunch of us went trick or treating. Probably about 8 adults and 6 kids. haha, more adults than kids...but it was fun.
A little.
I must say, Halloween just isn't what it used to be. Me and my sister were talking about that last night.
We remember (back in the day) when the streets were filled with kids. No adults....it was a time when kids could go alone....but there were kids running up and down the streets. Every porch light was on and every house had candy to hand out.
People hid and scared the kids, or dressed up and sat quietly until the kids came up to their porch and would jump at them.
Now days, only every 3rd or 4th house is lit up....if that. No one hiding or scaring anyone.
We saw other kids trick or treating maybe every 10-20 minutes.
It's just not what it used to be.
I wish my kids could've been trick or treating when I was a kid. Because, man, it was the best.
No one has the Halloween spirit anymore. :(
Of course, Gage is too big to go trick or treating. So, he and his girlfriend just handed out candy.

Awwwwwwww. Ava is just beautiful!!!
Zac and Lucia were SOOO cute last night as matching skeletons!!!!! You have to post some pics :) I was going through some old photos and I found a photo of that year Zac was Thomas the Train and Gage was John Cena! :) They were SO adorable! :) Crazy that Gage is now passing out candy with his GIRLFRIEND instead of being the trick-or-treater!!! Man how they grow up fast :(
Oh man my sisters and I use to have SO much fun trick-or-treating together! :) I know exactly what you mean when you said that people use to go all out for Halloween. I remember houses who would put little haunted houses in their garages, have a covered jar labeled "eyeballs" and when you put your hand in it there's grapes made to feel like slimy eyeballs! haha It really isn't what it use to be! Maddie scared a couple of kiddos as Freddy Kruger haha :) She had so much fun passing the candy out :) I am sad you guys missed her!!
p.s. I went all off on Halloween that I forgot the most important part of this comment haha
Congratulations Carrie on beautiful Ava!!!! She's simply precious!!!! :)
