The weather was spectacular, and it was a perfect night for trick-or-treating. My 2 1/2 year old and my 7 month old son were dressed as cow-girl and cow-boy respectively (cow-person), with wonderful getups put together by my wonderful wife, and we did a little tour of the neighbourhood. A great time was had by all, and there was a wonderful turnout in my neighbourhood.

Well that's only partly true - our house actually only sees a couple of stragglers. There's a circumvention street that goes around behind us, and it always seens some great participation. On my little strip of about 9 homes, only two of us actually turn on our lights and actively welcome the trick-or-treaters...so no one journeys down here. A bit of a shame as it's a wonderful event.
