Halloween is one of my two favorite holidays (the other being Groundhog’s Day), but last year we had a slight mishap: The kids who knocked on our door had already opened the screen door, so when I opened the door, Ashley ran outside and chased the kids around.
She was really just doing zoomies, but the little kids were very reasonably terrified to be chased by a dog.
So this year we’re not going to open our door. But we will be giving out candy. There’ll be a bag on our doorstep, with this sign on the door itself.
I’ll put it out at 5:00 PM or so, and then do my best to remember not to open the door until trick-or-treating time is over.
