Brrrrrr ... Trick or Treat

Well Halloween in Oregon is, well, cold. It was in the 30's last night, and the kids wanted to give up after about 12 houses. We parents pushed on, knowing our score would be less if the kids did not bring in a big haul.
Corey was a vampire, and I have to say I did a really good job on his makeup. It helps to have a mom who has been in the theater most of her life. I was a witch, and did a little makeup work on myself too. I would have to say that is probably how I would look if someone made me hang glide while holding a spider. It was not a pretty sight.
We went with Corey's friend McCoy and his family. It was fun, as his mom, Stefanie (yes I spelled that right) and I are becoming pretty decent friends.
Here's a question, isn't everyone pretty aware that there is Halloween edict? If the porch light is off, do not knock, if it is on, come on up. Never give home made treats and it is a night for candy, not a well-balanced meal. Pretty basic right? Yeah ... so why is it that:
1. People had their lights on and did not open their doors? One guy even had pumpkins on his porch and told the kids he was not giving out candy. I thought he was kidding. Nope. One house left a note on the door that pretty much said "trick", and people all around us continued to run up to houses with the lights off.
2. Some freak (a tree hugging, vegetarian, hippie I am sure) gave out raisins. And another gave out the lunch size bags of the new hot/spicy cheetos. Jerk.
It was a good thing we didn't have T.P or eggs with us, because Stef and I were ready to do some damage. I mean, these cheap jerks were not just upsetting our kids, but subtracting from our score too!
FYI
For all those interested, Milo is doing fine. Although his little buddies are already the size of grapes. Poor kid. But he is handling it like a champ!
