To hand out treats or not—that is the question.
Pros?
- It would be a nice welcome to the neighborhood—show who we are, that we’re nice people.
- I have the pumpkin.
- I have the treats.
Cons?
- The pumpkin isn’t carved. (I personally HAVE TO HAVE a carved pumpkin to hand out treats, even though it isn’t technically necessary.)
- We will have family visiting—and most likely eating at the witching hour.
- We don’t have a good setup. The screen door makes two doors to open. Even if we leave the main door open…
- We have to make sure three animals don’t escape—which can be done but with everything else, just adds to the not-wanting-to-do-it feel.
So, we might just have a bag of candy for ourselves this year (instead of just the leftovers).
