beggars' night

i preface this with...

i love my husband and i love our home...

but for the life of me, i will never understand ohio.

halloween is october 31st.

that is when one should go trick or treating.

i understand parties & whatnot being on other nights...

but trick or treating?

really?

beggar's night

this is what happens here in ohio.

matt said he did it as a kid.

nobody ever went trick or treating on halloween.

what?

trick or treating wasn't this past weekend...

it wasn't friday night...

for our county, it was thursday october 25th...

from 5-7 pm.

so, not only was it on another night...

it has special hours.

(different counties, cities, towns have different nights or hours)

and people take it very seriously.

with a lot of houses, people sit out in their driveways 

in chairs with bowl of candy...
(others leave porch lights on)

waiting for trick or treaters.

at 7pm, said people pack up their bowls of candy

and go inside.

seriously.

i guess if this is how you've always done things, 

it seems the normal thing to do.

i have lived a lot of places (a LOT)

& not once did we ever trick or treat 

on any night other than halloween.

anyway...

munki wanted to dress up as draculaura from monster high...

so she did.

and she was cute and we had fun...

hope you have a happy halloween!

xox.
