Yes I know it’s a Frowny Face, let me explain:
Friday Night: I decided to Take Amy on a Romantic Night out. We went to a Nice restaurant that happened to be the same on I took her to on one of our First dates. She had no Clue until I had the Waitress sit us at the same table. It was all very Romantic. We walked around the City and then went home and had a Nice quiet evening in front of the Fireplace.
Saturday: We were supposed to wake up in time to go to a Parade and Troop, But Umm Waking up at Noon kinda changed those plans. SORRY LORI! Anyways, we rummaged through the closet and found some Costumes to wear, and then Left for Marc and Lori’s Halloween Extravaganza! It was a Very Fun night, They had a Bon Fire and Everything!. I Posted some Pics in the Gallery. We ended up Crashing there and Heading out Sunday afternoon for Home.
Sunday: IT’S HALLOWEEN!!!! That’s right, Millions of Kids across the country Donning Costumes and Venturing out into the world seeking a massive sugar buzz! Except in my neighborhood apparently. Anyone who knows me knows that I love Halloween. I love Seeing the Kids faces when you dump a Huge handful of Candy into their sack. So I Dressed up my front window with lights and Spiders and Skulls, I Had Spooky Music Playing out the window, I had a Mildly Deformed Pumpkin On the Porch, and I in my scout Trooper Costume Sat Waiting for The Kids.
And Waiting
And Waiting
Nuthin. ): I walked around my Neighborhood Briefly and Saw no Kids anywhere. No Happy Faces running from Door to Door. No Shouts of “This House Has Milky Ways!!!” Wafting in the Cool night Breeze. No Squish of Trampled Candy Corn on the ground. It was like My Apartment Complex had become the Ghost Town. Sadly I Marched back to my house and Removed my Trooping gear. I Turned down the Music and Sat in my Chair Listening to the Sounds of Nothingness Drift in through the window. In the Distance I Heard a Small Giggle, I looked up to See My Neighbor and her Little Girl walking Up. Seeing me Perk up she Turned towards my Door and I heard the oh so familiar Words That I had Yearned for all Evening “Trick Or Treat!” My Eyes Teared up as a Grabbed a Huge Handful of Candy and Dropped it into her Bag. She was the 1 and Only trick or treater I had all evening. About 10pm I shut down my Lights and closed the windows and went to bed. /sigh. What has Happened to the Halloween I knew. Apartment Complexes were Gold Mines. Hundreds of Doors and Barely any Walking. And Now What am I to Do with a Cauldron of Left Over Candy? Anyone Want a Candy Bar?
