Is it OK to go trick or treating not on 31st?

We can go tonight, tomorrow night, Thursday night or Friday night.

Can whoever looks after him not take him?

He's not dressing up for school and the person who looks after him has arthritis so can't walk very far.

Could she perhaps stand at your front gate and watch him go to your neigbours? No more than say 2 doors down on each side? Could she even go to the top of your road?

No one in our road has decorations up. We were going to go to the next estate if went. We had bad rain yesterday so they couldn't have gone anyway and it looks like the same's headed for tonight.

Do something halloweeny at home. One of mine couldn't't go one year because they were infectious with something (I think) and we bobbed for apples and carved pepper lanterns (easier for small children to stab!).
