Beggars night

So some lady in the 40's (I think) in her infinite wisdom decided that there would be less tricks if Halloween was celebrated on a day rather than October 31. So now here in Des Moines either the day before or afterwards the kids have "Beggars Night". The home owners open the door and expect you to tell them a joke, sing a song, or do some type of trick. I don't get it! The kids who want to ruin pumpkins or soap your car can still do so on either night.

Anyway, comparing the loot and separating the candy into piles is something I remember from my youth.

Here are Brody and our neighbor (his buddy) Seth checking out their loot. This is the first year we made it to every house on the block with the light on. How old do you think he will be when we won't get to sneak some of his candy anymore?? :O)
