dancingleafyes - that's right
two hundred and eighty two trick'or'treaters at our place tonight.
that's a pretty good number.
my favourite costumes were
1)a group that were dressed in Christmas theme. They had Santa, two elves, a person dressed in a GREAT Tree Costume, A present and Gift Wrap(bubble wrap, bows & paper.)
2)Three teenagers dressed in the same colours with t-shirts & face paint & signs that said GO CEILINGS!
They were ceiling fans. *groan* I know but I love bad puns. I thought the costume idea was fantastic.

Date: 2009-11-01 02:10 pm (UTC)We had exactly 27 trick-or-treaters. I kept count. There was this one little girl that was hilarious. She was so friendly. Our exchange went something like this
"Trick or treat! Guess what I am?!"
"What are you!?" (She was dressed as a witch, complete with green face paint, a broom, hat, dress/etc, black wig)
"I'm the wicked witch of the west!"
"Wow! That's so great! You make a great wicked witch of the west!"
"Thank you! I love your Doggie! I have a doggie!" (She was talking about GRADY, of all dogs, who had his head by my knee. I was crouched by the door so that he wasn't going anywhere)
"Why, thank you!" *Gives her two chocolate bars*
"Thank you! Happy Halloween!"
"Happy Halloween! Have a great night!"

The worst that we saw last night were the parents trick or treating with the kids riding in wagons. Your kid doesn't even walk to trick or treat? Well I don't feel bad about giving cheap candy this year then.

NONE. Zero. Zilch. Nada. I don't understand. I could've sworn I saw trick-or-treaters in a nearby neighborhood around 6 p.m. There must be some new agreement I don't know about that signals to kids that you have candy available. It used to be just leave your porch light on. Either that or everyone's paranoid and taking their kids to private parties. Whatever. I ain't buying candy next year. We'll just go out and turn all the lights off!
