Lots of unknowns for this weekend. After living on the same street since 1997, this year will be the first Halloween someplace new.
And we have no idea what to expect.
There are some things that we know. We know that even though there's a world-wide pandemic out there, some kids will most likely be trick-or-treating this year. We live in a new neighborhood so we haven't even met all our neighbors yet. We've seen kids playing in their yards and on the street, but will the venture over to our door?
We'll find out Saturday.
Spend a little time on social media and you'll see some incredible things people are doing to keep a safe distance between the candy givers and the candy receivers. We've seen catapults, chutes, but the coolest are the launchers. My wife found a YouTube video of an inventive couple and their invention so we thought we'd give it a try--you can watch the YouTube video: HERE.
Ours will be different. We did a test launch after we returned from the hardware store. It will need "tweaking" because we don't want to hit a little goblin or ghost dead-center in the chest with a Fun Size Snickers. but we are excited for what may be.
We might get no one to show up...we might get many. Even if we're stuck with tons of miniature chunks of sugar, this Halloween's already been a lot of fun.
