On Saturday night Halloween finally came to Pittsburgh on
Saturday night. Because of the rain and fear that accompanied Hurricane Sandy
on October 31st , the City of Pittsburgh postponed trick-or-treating
until Saturday, November 3rd.
Andre is committed to ensuring that our daughter fully experience
American traditions. So, we went trick-or-treating. I like traditions too, but
I was tired that night and probably would have passed without guilt. Our
daughter is two. I don’t think that she would have even remembered missing
trick-or-treating.
However, since her daddy is the cool, fun one, we went
trick-or-treating.
We Made Some Great Halloween Memories
Our journey to the homes was kind of funny. The toddler was more
interested in the pile of leaves she encountered along the way. She wanted to
pick them up and throw them and jump in them. When we interfered with her
playing, she cried. Again, since I don’t
think that she would have remembered missing trick-or-treating, I was content
to let her play in the leaves. Also, I secretly thought I’d get home faster
too. Don’t judge me.
However, since her daddy is committed to finishing what we start,
he picked her up and started walking towards the homes. She cried. We were
quite a sight. A big witch, a crying little witch, and “Vacation” Zorro walking
through the park. (Look at the photo below and see if you can see why the
costume was called “Vacation” Zorro.)
Eventually, we arrived at the homes. Even though the toddler
never managed to utter “trick-or-treat” she did enjoy walking up to the home
and holding her bag up to get candy. We
went to about twenty homes. She walked some, was carried some, and eventually
just wanted to go home. And so we did.
