Well, we made it a little farther this year than last, despite the rain. We again trick-or-treated with Caelan's friends, Malerie and Lauren, and their families. Last year, Garrett wore his costume for all of 3 minutes. We pretty much forced him to go to one house, where his ill-humor escallated into full-blown tantrum by the time we were on the front porch. Bob brought him home and I continued on with Caelan. Tonight, we went an entire block, both sides of the street (10 houses or so) before Garrett called it quits. I didn't blame him. We were all soaked. He managed to growl at a few people- it was OK as he was a dog (AGAIN). I was ready to head home myself, so I brought him home this time, while Bob continued with Caelan.
We have more candy than I know what to do with. I think I will sort through all of the colorful stuff and save it for gingerbread houses. We don't need to eat all of that. I actually had Garrett pass out boxes of crayons to his friends at school, while Caelan passed out skeleton placements. I am all for candy in moderation, heck I have a secret stash at home, but all this is too much. Though, I asked Caelan what she thought of the placemats and she said she liked them, but it was a little wierd. I am OK with wierd.
Enjoy.
