At daycare they didn't celebrate Halloween this year, they talked about Fall Harvest. And the kids got to dress up and go to the college campus and "harvest" candy from other people who were dressed up. Hmmmm. It's all symantics.
A co-worker told me that the kids would be breaking a pinata at 10 am, so I went to the building and saw DS1. He had not been interested in any costumes when we went shopping, so last night I turned his orange long sleeve shirt inside out and painted a jack-o-lantern face on it. So we was "a pumpkin face" today. He enjoyed it! The kids got lots of candy and DS1 told me "we're trick or treating". The only part that I didn't care for was the pinata. The bigger (4-5 yr olds) had fun taking turns hitting it with a plastic bat, but it took an adult male several whacks to get it to break. Then the mad rush to pick up candy from the floor. DS1 was standing back and seemed a bit overwhelmed. I thought, "Great, teach the kids to be greedy and push their friends." DS1 did pick up a few pieces of candy, and there were adults up above (it was in an atrium area) dropping more candy away from the center so every kid probably did get some candy there. Not that there was any shortage of candy for the kids today, DS1's bag was not quite as big as a grocery shopping bag, and it had a good 2-4" of candy filling it. Quite a haul, actually.
