Celebrating the season

[LOsborne]

I have had a boat-load of trick-r-treaters tonight. I wasn't home last year, so I can't compare, but I've easily had three times as many as in past years, and it isn't even seven o'clock yet. Good ones, too! Great costumes, and very few of the shiny Walmart kind. One thing I haven't seen before, though. While the parents are escorting the little bitties, as usual, they also seem to be escorting the bigger kids -- mostly in cars that creep along the street as the kids go house to house. It's only 58 degrees here. I wonder why they aren't walking with them.

OH well, it's time to start rationing the candy. I've been handing out fistfuls, but at the rate they are coming, I think I'd better limit them to a couple of pieces or I'll run out before eight.

Our experience was very similar to yours Lolly. We had more this year than any previous year I can remember! I had to make a candy run for resupply! 

A lot of really funny sights too. . . Like the guy dressed up in the full gorilla suit chasing kids across the field, lying in the ditch line and springing up on them. I almost soiled my self laughing at them! Or the guy with a knife through his head. . .

I was freezing my rear end off, but stayed outside to pass out the candy because it was so funny!

We had not on trick-or-treater . This is out first Halloween in this house and I'm really surprised considering how many kids live in the neighborhood. We had the garage all decorated and the door open, lights, scary sound effects and my daughter was making (or planning to make) balloon animals to go with the candy. None of our neighbors bothered to do more than turn on porch lights...I guess I know why now.

I wonder where they all went? *shrug*
