We love going to Chipotle every Halloween. Every year the deal is a bit different but basically, if you wear a certain kind of costume, you get a free or deeply discounted burrito. This year, it was wear any costume and get a $2 burrito, with all proceeds going towards charity.
Sarah was a bunny (Peter Rabbit) with a painted face and some bunny ears we had around the house, Stephen was a firefighter with new boots from Grandma and a red firefighter's helmet from the $.99 store, and Mama and Papa were zombies in black clothes and face paint. It was fun because the Chipotle we went to was right by ASU campus and there were tons of college kids in excellent costumes filling up the store. We got four huge burritos, were stuffed when we left and still had half the food left over for the next day.
After Chipotle, we stopped at a few houses in the neighborhood to go Trick-or-Treating. At a couple of the houses folks were sitting out on their driveways with campfires roaring, and we even got to make some s'mores. That was fun for a couple of minutes but Mama was getting tired so we headed home, where we watched A Nightmare Before Christmas on DVD before turning in a bit early.
Sarah loved getting free candy, and Stephen did not want to be left out - we tried to just have Mama take Sarah door to door but Stephen started crying so loud I had to take him out of the car so he could have some fun, too.
Today Sarah had a hard time accepting the fact that it was not Halloween any more, and noticed that the Halloween decorations at the grocery store had been taken down.
