Happy Halloween! I didn't dress up this year, but my kids went as Harry Potter, "Skull Dragon Ninja," the Flash, and Sofia the First. Lots of fun heralding three months worth of nauseating candy munching. Yay!

Devor, I saw the kids in our small downtown going door to door to businesses for the annual Halloween trick or treat they put on here. My question is this, as a parent, do you feel it's less safe than it was when you/we were kids to go out at night trick or treating? Me, I think it's the trend towards the worst of stories filling up our daily news that makes parents feel fearful and I can't recall a Halloween where we didn't roam the neighborhood on our own (past age 12 maybe) and I wonder if the perception is that it has changed so much that it's no longer ok to let kids do that. And, I should add, we didn't live in the safest of neighborhoods then but no one seemed worried. Just curious. . .
One of those shops is Lee Sim's, a chocolatier that gives out these giant chocolate lollipops to trick or treaters. They close at five. Also the kids wear costumes to school for events there, and like I said, we walk by these shops anyways on the way home. Put together I guess it's natural that trick or treating starts right away.
