UPDATE 1:45PM 10/30/11
Nothing more was said on Friday or Saturday about the Halloween/trick-or-treat discussion my wife and I have on Thursday. However...

On Sunday afternoon, my wife texts me:
W: I meant to ask you do you want to keep him later so you can do trick or treating tonight.

M: (Responded about 2 hours later) Sadly I don't think anyone trick-or-treats until the 31st. So it would be nice, but you can pick E up at the usual time. Appreciate the suggestion though.

W: They did last night around here and they will tonight.

M: No harm trying to do that in this neighborhood then. Pick E up sometime before/at 7?

W: Ok

M: (At 7:02pm, after our son and my wife left) Thanks again for the late evening with E. He had quite a lot of fun.

So despite an early outing, our son was able to visit a total of 4 homes (as a police officer, mind you) and came back with an almost full bucket. Not bad at all! I wish I had our son here for REAL Halloween (with mom, if she'd like to come), but alas...
