To "TREAT" or not to "TREAT"? That is the question.

Az & Avi have never been "Trick-or-Treating" before. We just aren't Halloween people here. THIS year, though, we thought we'd let them dress up and do a special bit of "treating" fun! First off we went to the retirement home that my Granner lives in. They had trick-or-treating in their lobby where all the old folks handed out candy to the children as they went around the room. Let me tell you, these folks were DELIGHTED to see the little ones dressed up. Now, I say, THAT is what it's all about! It made it all worthwhile~! No kidding. Oh...and there was more than one old lady ogling my baby (not in the amorous fashion, of course!). Ha ha. Anyhow, that was so sweet. I wish I'd taken the camera for that. Oh well, I can't think of EVERYTHING! After that we went to get some treats at Ranch and Home...where there were lots of vendors and the police and firemen (with the trucks, of course! Then we went to see our friend Nancy and her husband Tommy. They used to be my Gran's neighbors before she moved to the retirement community. Sweet, SWEET people and we just LOVE Nancy. Anyhow, she had something special for the kiddos (and for us too, as it turned out!) so we visited them for a little while and had a nice time there. When we got home we let the kids go up and down our block, with Mark, of course! This was a dual opportunity since Mark got to meet the neighbors at the same time as the kids were getting candy! All in all a winning proposition!!! So, while we don't usually participate in this "holiday" we thought what we did was very worthwhile this year and brought smiles to lots of peoples faces! GOOD STUFF there!
