Beggars Night may have fooled me once but not this year. In Columbus if Halloween falls on a weekend the city schedules different days and times for you to go trick-or-treating and calls that night Beggars Night. My scheduled date and time is Thursday, October 29, 6:00-8:00. Some of you may remember from last year that we were the weirdos that tried to celebrate Halloween actually on Halloween. I was very surprised when I started getting knocks on my door at 6:00 two days before Halloween, and opened it to find trick-or-treaters. I gave the 1st group of kids granola bars or something lame like that and ran to the store to get candy. By the time I got back and Brody got home it seemed too late and like too much of a hassle to get Baylor and Chase dressed up, and I figured we could probably still go out on Halloween like normal people, but boy was I wrong. There was not one single person trick-or-treating on Halloween. Apparently we have very good law abiding citizens here in Columbus who do not break this rule, but since we are rebels we did it anyways. We only went to a few friends houses who were kind enough to understand our situation and give us candy. So, I learned my lesson, and I'm ready this year. I've got my candy and costumes and know my scheduled date and time. Bring it on Beggars Night!

That's crazy! Why do they set up Beggars Night?? Why not just let everyone go out on Halloween?
hahah! I remember that night you were wondering why in the world the neighborhood kids were so anxious to celebrate Halloween two days earlier! hahahah! Beggers night is so funny to me!
Glad to hear that Baylor will be at Headstart next time. SO sorry that he was sick. We should start a play date or something like that.
