It was a Star Wars Halloween…
Luke Skywalker and Baby Yoda made their debut at the 2007 DeBoer Halloween spectacular. Actually this was my first real trick or treating Halloween with my kids. We went around with some friends from the neighborhood and knocked on doors… some of them actually opened and people came out.
Was it me or were the number of “here’s a jar of candy, take it yourself” homes a bit high this year? I don’t recall that in my youth – of course the candy was perceived as being safer and we had about 10x the number of houses to ‘sack’.
Baby Yoda is on the left; the right photo is Elizabeth (butterfly), Joshua (lobster) & TJ the airplane (Tina’s sister’s kids) plus Caleb (Luke Skywalker as X-Wing Pilot) and Caeden (Baby Yoda)
We had fun. Caeden rode the evening out in a backpack, eating his Mommy’s hair and drooling down her neck. Caleb pretty much couldn’t help himself from actually entering people’s homes at each stop and telling them which candy was his favorite. That, of course, was when he wasn’t singing a new song he learned that ended with something about “…smell my feet, I don’t care, I’ll pull down my underwear” if he didn’t get a treat… Ah, good times. Why do we do this again?
Oh yeah, free candy and our kids aren’t the best counters yet.
