Sam and I celebrated our first Halloween and our new home last night.

We knew from the start that this was not going to be a great trick or treating neighborhood. Which was a little bit of a letdown because we’re apartment had been was a trick or treating neighborhood.

But we prepared anyways. Bought some candy, some pumpkins and cleaned up our garage a little bit where we’d have open for trick or treaters. We have a Hue bulb in our lamppost that we set to a bright orange color.

One person showed up. The little grandchild of our neighbors across the street came over with his mom dressed as a construction worker (or was it cowboy?). Either way it was fantastic.

Even without trick or treaters we had a good night of carving pumpkins, eating candy and settling in to watch a horror movie when it became apparent no one else was going to be stopping by.

It’d be easy to blame the massive amount of rain that was falling but but that’s just not the reason. It’s okay we’ll try again next year.
