Last night we had a total of 13 trick-or-treaters, all before 8 pm, although the last three were two girls who looked at least 15, if not older, with a very young boy who was under the age of five. Each girl had a big clear bookbag stuffed with candy which I found a bit annoying. The point isn’t to go around and get a ridiculous amount of candy, especially at their age. I don’t even think they lived in the neighborhood since I’ve never seen them before. <\/p>\n
I turned Transylvania 2 on (available on Netflix) to try and get into the spirit but honestly, the holiday is more disappointing than anything. I love Halloween but it never turns out how I want it to – there aren’t many kids, no one invites us to any parties, and dressing up sounds fun until I contemplate the time, effort, and cost. <\/p>\n
Needless to say, today I took down all the decorations so the house will at least look a little less cluttered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
