Trick or Treat?

66 kids this year.  Less than last year, but still a good number considering it was raining pretty good for most of the three hours for trick or treating.  I love seeing the adults dressed up, taking the kids around.  I am all for giving the parents candy, or even the teenagers who dress up, candy as well.  The least amount of effort this year?  The 10  year old kid who had jeans, a sweatshirt and a baseball cap on with a taped Dominos logo.  We are guessing he was a pizza delivery guy, but who knows. 

Bonus of this year?  Candy left over!  Mmmmmm chocolate!

Happy Halloween!

Tomorrow it's trick or treating time!  I'm such a kid at heart.  I love to see all the kids come up to get candy, and if an adult comes dressed up, you bet they get candy too!  I really like the little kids (toddler age) who I offer the bowl of candy to, and they carefully select one little piece of candy.  I usually tell them they can take more, and it's amazing to see their eyes light up!  We got our cats costumes as well--yes, we are THOSE kind of people!  :)  Rita is going as a Sheriff and Candice is going as a Bumble Bee.  I will post pictures tomorrow, otherwise they won't be too happy with me for making them dress up right now, as they are sleeping!

Now my goal is to keep H from sneaking candy out of the candy bowl......the Butterfingers seem to be disappearing......
