On Saturday we went trick-or-treating around to all of the little shops that are next door to our apartment building. The shops at Pentagon Row hosted a trick-or-treat day for kids. It was actually pretty neat. (The weather was almost perfect, so the kids got to wear the more lightweight costumes they won't be able to wear on chilly Halloween night.) Nearly all of the stores and restaurants (and there are quite a few) handed out candy as the kids came by. They even got to decorate their own pumpkin cookies at Sur la Table. Hailey and Mia had a great time filling up their buckets with pre-Halloween candy. That was T-or-T #1.
T-or-T #2 will be the church trunk-or-treat tomorrow night.
Then, of course, the real T-or-T on Wednesday night will be #3.
So, now my next question: What do you do with ALL of that dreadful Halloween candy? Give it away? Throw it away? Let the kids go crazy with it? All I can say is that whatever I do with it the dentist is going to have a heyday.
