We bought ten bucks worth of candy at 5:00PM on Saturday at Fred’s. Pumpkin shaped lollipops, bubblegum and a couple bags of foiled wrapped chocolates. One bag of the chocolates were spheroid shaped filled with either fudge, caramel or peanut butter that were wrapped in foil. The coolest thing was that the foil was colored like eyeballs. Really life-like blood shot eyes.
By 8:00 PM when we shut off the porch light we still had nine dollars and twenty five cents worth. We had a total of about six trick or treaters. We also had about that many walk right on by after going next door or across the street. Of the half dozen kids that came to the door, four were brother-sister pairs and each time Donna offered the boys a couple of eyeballs they freaked and refused. The girls on the other hand were eager to take them.

Wow. We get over 100 kids to come by. My problem is that the kids go home with 5-10 pounds of candy. The only one who should be happy is the dentist!
Our neighborhood has never really had a lot of kids in it, so our numbers have never gotten close to half of yours. My of my co workers live in a subdivision that is famous for two things, Christmas lights and Halloween. They have city cops directing traffic at the two entrances. They had 360 pieces of candy that were given out one per kid and they ran out long before the trick or treaters did…
