Trick or Treat through J-land

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Welcome to my page for Halloween.  .

We celebrated "trick or treating" tonight (Oct 29) here on Stork Barracks.  The kids were out and snatching up candy as fast as their little legs could carry them.  (the neighbor kids that is).  The community had a haunted house set up, which I heard was pretty intense, but I did not attend.  I don't much care for people jumping out at me.

Now that my kids are teens, they tend to celebrate a bit differently.  They dress up ( their costumes are much scantier now) and they go to a few houses to trick or treat and collect up their friends.  This year, they hit the haunted house after the trick or treating and then they went to the movies. The movie was "Skeleton Key", which I thought was a perfect movie for Halloween.

In our stairwell, all of our neighbors sat out on the front stoop and passed out candy from there to keep the kids from having to climb three flights of steps.  We drank mulled wine and ate bratwurst while admiring all the costumes.  All in all, a fun but quiet Halloween.
