The holiday is officially over, but the candy ("loot") will last for months.
The best way to describe Halloween in our new neighborhood was a scene from the movies. The HOA has guidelines on trick-or-treating. Example - start at 5:30pm and stop at 8pm, if the lights are out that means the family is not home or they have run out of candy, etc. Run out of candy???? Yes it can happen with over 200 little people.
5:30pm- the street was quiet, no signs of any little goblins or ghosts. 6pm - CHAOS BEGINS! Imagine about 200 little divas, Harry Potters, witches, Marios, etc congregating across the neighborhood with their Dad's driving golf carts in tow - and the random trailer filled with warm blankets, hot "adult beverages" and music. There were bonfires in driveways and lots of fellowship. The kids had a blast and Carter crashed after trying to keep up with Logan and his friends. It is great to live in a neighborhood where the families intentionally join up and the kids form "teams" of trick-or-treaters.
It was a long day as Carter had his daycare Halloween party in the AM and Logan had his school party in the PM. We will post pictures when Shawn returns from SF.
