Halloween Disappointed Kids Come On Vegas

All day Brendan and Logan could not wait to put on their costumes to go Trick or Treating. I told them as soon as my husband aka Dad got home they could change. They were just so excited about Halloween. Then I started readin online how many towns across the Northeast cancelled Halloween, boy wouldn't my kids be upset about that. That's like canceling Christmas to some kids. I can remember being young and my parents spending weeks making me the perfect costume. Imagine how upset those parents are.

So finally they finished all their school work for the day and their dad came home. Emily wanted to be dropped off at a friends house a half hour away. I was just like no way. Then I realized we were missing a member of the family. Dylan was going to a Halloween party. Everyone was getting ready to leave just as the phone rings. It's Dylan and he needs to get picked up right away. I was thinking this is rediculus, this holiday is mainly for Brendan and Logan not the oldest kids.

So my husband was off for and hours drive to pick up Dylan. I had my 22 year old TJ start taking them around the neighborhood before it got dark.

The weather was great, nice and warm. Meghan, my 15 year old daughter who has a vision impairment fell while going door to door and cut open her toe, luckily it wasn't bad enough for stitches but it sure was bleeding.

As soon as my husband got home he picked up Logan brought him home as he was tired. The kids were all very discouraged as they had been down several streets and most homes had their lights out and even those that did have lights on we're not answering so even to get even a small amount of candy took a great amount of effort.

At our house Logan sat in front of the door for about an hour waiting for any Trick or Treaters but no one ever came.

I am just wondering if this trend is just in my neighborhood or elsewhere too?

Let me know!
