Halloween Recap

When we moved to this house, I started to sit outside because we have steep stairs without a handrail and I didn't want any of the kids to fall. Between the costumes and the masks and the running - it just seemed like the best idea to keep everyone safe. Now I enjoy it, even when it's cold.

This year we had an animated witch that cackled, which dbubley bought. It scared a few of the young ones, but most enjoyed it. She is a couple feet tall and that made her as tall as some of the little ones. We had the usual assortment of witches, skeletons, Dracula's, princess' and super hero's. But then we had a cute hula girl and a couple of bloody cheerleaders. My favorite was a Mega Bucks Lottery ticket.

We had between 40 and 50 trick's-or-treaters. I had a little candy left over and probably if I was willing to sit out longer I could have gotten rid of it. My mom always use to break out the rolls of pennies just in case she ran out of candy. If we did, everyone got a little handful of pennies. Doesn't sound like much but this was 40 or so years ago and you could buy a candy bar for a nickel! God, I'm feeling old!!
