The original notice says that the Halloween party (hosted by JES parents) is moving to Saturday, and if you'd like to also participate - and perhaps hand out candy to the little kids who have the most trouble at school on the following day - you're welcome to. But if you'd rather stick to handing out candy and/or hosting a haunted house on Oct. 31st, that's well within your right to do so. I think there's room for multiple celebrations based on your preference."JES families will not be trick or treating on Halloween this year"
Not really a point to hand out candy on Monday in that case. In addition, why would we put in the effort (over 3 weekends worth) of doing a haunted house if the majority of families (especially those in the Bar-K) will have considered the Halloween "box" checked. Lastly, at this point we will need to be in Boulder on Monday so our kids can trick or treat on the 31st.
Well, I think you've hit directly on the main point, Drew: A majority of the families who would be participating in the trick or treating WANT to have it on Saturday. And, my older kid is actually excited about this, since this means she gets twice the haul of candy. If your kids need a ride into Boulder on Monday, I'm happy to bring them with me. Just let me know.
