So instead of studying last night, the girls were makin' big weekend Halloween plans. The act of Trick or Treating is a bit different up here in the mountains where houses are spread far and wide. My children have always been envious of the 'town kids', because they are can dress up and run around a neighborhood collecting treats instead of schlepping around in a car to go door-to-door. Thankfully, they are now old enough that they will skip the treats and instead dress up in some Mistress-of-the-Dark-like costume pretending to have some alter-ego-goth-thing going on. Of course, if I fill the candy jar with M&M's this afternoon they will love me even more. But wait, they won't be home, so it looks like Mom gets all the Halloween Treat this weekend :-)
