Where's the Halloween spirit? This year I saw more adults dressed up than children, and a large percentage of the kids I saw walking around with trick-or-treat bags weren't even in costume. As my sister pointed out, kids weren't even dressed in costume to go to school. What a sad and sorry state it is that you can't send your kid to school dressed up for Halloween because there won't be a party and costumes just aren't up to dress code. How depressing for all the little kids in Lancaster. I can't vouch for Palmdale, just Lancaster.

Anyhow, we were out and although the house was decorated to within an inch of it's life, we ended up not getting back until 9, at which point all of our trick-or-treaters in the neighborhood had moved on to other 'hoods. Last year there were so many houses decorated for halloween, and this year, not so many. It was sad. But the house looked awesome!! You can peek at my flickr, but I have a special treat for you guys too!
