We trick or treated after all...
We had no plans to go out tonight because Emma has been out late for Halloween festivities two out of the last three nights. We were eating our supper and the phone rang. It was a 13 year-old boy that lives a couple of miles down the road. He said "If you'll bring Emma to trick or treat, I have a bag of candy for her." Well...obviously it's not the candy that we went for. It's the mere fact that a 13 year-old boy was bold enough to call us to solicit trick or treaters. So we went.

He had an elaborate set-up to greet trick or treaters. Unfortunately, like us, he lives in the boonies and no one was stopping by. They all drive right on past to go to town to trick or treat. Emma got a juice box, some smarties and two pieces of chocolate. But I feel like showing up was worth a whole lot more than that.
