Good weather, a Friday night and lots of candy and trick-or-treaters added up to a fun Halloween. Linnea has been excited all week but Alyssa didn’t know anything special was going on until we put her ducky costume on her after dinner. As soon as it started getting dark the girls and I headed out for some trick-or-treating while Dave stayed home to pass out candy. Alyssa caught on to the process very quickly.The first house that we went to (next door) gave her a packaged rice krispie bar. She held on to that piece of candy for the next half hour as we went to other houses but kept an open hand to accept more candy to put into her plastic pumpkin that I was carrying. She usually waved to say thank you after she got each treat.
Our neighborhood was swarming with kids, many with accompanying parents, all evening. We estimate that we had close to 200 ghouls, witches, fairies, cheer leaders, aliens etc. etc. come to our door. We usually give each one a couple of pieces of candy and we went through almost four large bags of treats. The weather was beautiful and we have a good neighborhood for trick-or-treating with houses close together so luckily we anticipated large numbers.
Happy Halloween to all!
