Is anyone overwhelmed with trick or treaters yet? It just got dark here but there are a few coming out of the woodwork. We havn't had any yet. Could be because my Rottweiler is on the front poarch. Oh well, that much more left over candy for me.

We took my granddaughter, Tiffany, over to my mother's house tonight. She must have 10 pounds of candy!! She stayed out the full two hours.

I bought two bags of 50 small candy bars each. That is 100 candy bars. There were years in the past when I would have been hoping the supply held out till the end of the evening. This evening we had exactly 6 trick or treaters. I really don't understand. I especially miss the little ones, 3 to 5 year olds, who used to come with their Mothers early in the evening. They were so cute.

I wasn't home for awhile and my hubby didn't want to hand out candy so we didn't buy any.
I got home and we had our porch light off but kids still knocked on the door. When I was growing up we were told NOT to go to any houses that didn't have porch lights on. Did parents forget to tell their kids this? We didn't hand out candy a couple years ago and we went through the same thing. We almost have to turn every light off in the house just so we won't have kids knocking at the doors.

Lights out at my home tonight, staying quiet here in the back room with the Ebay/Vendio computer. Dog freaks out when T&T's come to the door, thankfully not many tonight, and he gets terribly disturbed with firecrackers, which are all the rage here in Vancouver. Oh well, one quite night won't hurt, he'll just have to hold on & pee after midnight!

We went to my aunts to scare the kids lol ..yes were bad. We had about 80 kids all together before we got tired. We don't scare the little ones but when the big kids come you can hear them scream for blocks away.

Sanmar: We too live in a gated community (wasn't what we were looking for, but the house was). However, in Idyllwild there is a 1/2 mile-long Halloween parade for kids and grownups, ending with a celebration downtown and then kids go from shop to shop trick-or-treating. The shops are all close together, and this saves the kiddies having to go great distances on winding roads in the evening. Works great for all of us.

This was my daughter's first "real" halloween. In Miami, the only place that was safe to go trick or treating was the shopping center and we would go store-to-store. But this year, I took her to my parent's development. She had a BLAST!!!! We had the best time. Of course, we now have more candy than we know what to do with.
My little girl is doing better, but still not entirely well yet. They are still running the tests (it takes forever for the cultures to grow), and we should know more soon. I have a feeling that by the time they find out what it is, she will have healed herself.
