Trick-Or-Treating


In NYC, kids go trick-or-treating in their own buildings. They ride the elevator floor to floor and either ring bells or pick out candy from bowls placed outside doors. Tonight we had a very, very cute Wizard of Oz crew assembled here. Max the Tin Man, Jonathan the Cowardly Lion and Charlie the Scarecrow came over for pizza, stickers and trick-or-treating. I wasn't sure the kids would get the concept, but they did! And they did so right away. We had a blast riding the elevator (Grace started repeating "everybody in" and "everybody out"), ringing doorbells and raiding candy bins. Also, because we're turning the clocks back tonight, we let them stay up later than usual. I have a feeling Grace is going to ask to go for "more trick-or-treating" again very soon.
