The costumes are all ready: A cowboy, a geisha, a ninja, and a greek god. The candy recepticals are all ready. I'm not ready.
We really lucked out when we moved to our present home. We live on a fairly busy road with no sidewalks, so trick-or-treating does not take place here. Up the hill and down the side streets, is another matter. The people seem to view halloween as a national holiday and dress up their houses, their yards, and themselves. It is an awesome experience! The kids are laden down with pounds of candy within forty-five minutes. The best part, from the grown-up perspective, is the house that offers hot cider: one for the kids and another (hehehe) for the adults. The kids look forward to Halloween for weeks.
I guess we'll see. ;-)
