halloween 2008

I took T.J. trick-or-treating again this year. As we drove around looking for a good place to do this, we noticed that there were alot fewer kids this year than last. Then we noticed that there were alot fewer lights on this year than last. We think it had alot to do with the way things are going in the country right now. That didn't stop us though, we dressed him up and off we went to the same neighborhood as last year and as we walked and talked we desided that this was the right place. We did start a little early, around quarter to six. The first house he went to was funny. He went to the door and knocked and screemed trick-or-treat! The lady opened the door, then shut it in his face, then the light went out. Though I couldn't see it, the look on his face had to have said a million words. He turned and looked at me as if asking what the hell... I don't know, but it was funny I told him "I guess you got a trick", and we laughed together. The night turned out well, there were more children comming in the next hour or so. As for his "take", about a third of what he got last year. He didn't care, I think he only ate three pieces of it to this point. We ended as we did last year, in our own sub. When he was too tired to go on, we came home and called it a night.
