So apparently we missed the memo when we moved to Ohio about Beggars Night. If Halloween falls on a Friday, and you live in Dublin then you go trick or treating between 6-8 on Thursday, October 30th. It's weird because if you live in Columbus or a different suburb you can go on Halloween or at a different time. I don't know why but that's the way it is, and everyone sticks to these rules. We had absolutely no trick or treaters on Halloween. Like I said we missed the memo, so we actually went out on Halloween. I could tell people who saw us were thinking...What is wrong with those foolish parents? Who do they think they are dressing their children up on Halloween and going trick or treating? We were apparently out of their minds. So, a special thanks to our friends who let us trick or treat at their house even though we were pretty much criminals for not following the city rules and trick or treating on the wrong night. Here are a couple pictures of my boys on Halloween...not Beggars Night. What can I say, we are such rebels.
