Happy Halloween!

[wtg]

It's Saturday. It's Halloween. Weather is OK, cloudy and cool but not unpleasant. We're an hour into trick or treat hours (3 to 7), and we just had our first six kids. A coven of witches and Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. No Toto.

Is there a Halloween Scrooge or Grinch? I'm almost thinking that next year I just won't bother at all.

Guess I'll be donating a lot of candy to the township come Monday. They collect it and send it to troops overseas in care packages.

Maybe not.

Suddenly, as if from nowhere, they're all coming out....

We are still waiting for our first visitors…

Btw our time is 5:30-8:30pm. An hour on and no visitors yet.

The last time I tried to use Post Images, it wasn’t working. Let’s see if it is now…

For those who celebrate it.

I am a Halloween Grinch.

I was given this description by no less than Amanda.

I live in a 55+ community.

I'm not bothered here.

We normally don’t hand out candy because Heathrow loses his mind and can’t be trusted at the door. This year I decided to put out a bowl with candy and a sign saying please take one. Then we watched on our doorbell camera! It was actually super fun to watch all the littles and I was impressed with the number of big kids who waved at the camera after taking their candy. Right as we were discussing turning off the light an uncostumed teen took the remaining candy out of the bowl. But if we were handing it out we would have run out earlier (cute littles get more candy!) so it really wasn’t a big deal to us. It was a decent solution and one I wish I had thought of earlier!

Lots of witches this year. And Mike Ditkas. Best costume went to a woman who had an inflatable octopus costume. I don't take photos of people who come to the door, but this is the costume she had on:

We prepared for a bit over 200 and ran out of goodies in about 2 hours. We were giving out popcorn balls, full size candy bars, animal crackers, and a backup supply of Kit Kat bars. Separately we also gave tattoos and bouncy balls. We should have prepared for 350.
