about 20 halloweeners all told. bout what we usually get. we live up in a culdesac and maybe not many come all the way up in here, but xskids and xs2pup went further and farther than usual this year and got a BUTTLOAD of candy. thankfully, my kids have never attended a school where it was forbidden to celebrate Halloween or any other holiday.

I'll admit, we never stay home to hand out candy, but it didn't look very busy as we were heading out the door. Of course, now we live in a tiny little W.Va. town with not that many children. Back in my Upper St. Clair childhood, we hit what seemed like hundreds of houses on Halloween. Everyone in my subdivision wanted to know what Terry Hanratty was handing out. There was one house where the folks had the kids come in for cider. I tried it once, but it seemed unnaturally fizzy for a non-alcoholic drink - maybe they were trying to poison us! Yikes! (Who wants cider anyway - give me some of those Zagnuts!).

We barricaded the doors and had boiling oil awaiting at the parapets. 'N'at.

Strangely, no one showed up. <|:)~

About 25. More than half eere over 12. KitKats and Reeses fro the kids with costumes, store brand cinnamon discs for those without.

Only 12 in the cold and rain came to my door (about the same as the last 2 years).
My mom had the usual crowd (~70) in an unburned suburb of L.A., despite the rain. Same neighborhood had 200+ decades ago.

Busy night in my neighborhood. 5 bags of candy gone...hadda turn the light out. My 5 year old princess filled up her bag nicely too :) A;ll the kids were local too...and in costume...loved every minute of it!

Best moment....right after I ran out of candy, a little toddler showed up with her father...she in a cute little bumble bee outfit. They were asian, and the father had a heavy, limited english style accent. I knelt down to tell the little girl I was sorry, I was out of candy, looked up and saw the father waving a peice of candy over and behind her head. I mouthed "thank you", sneaked the candy away and showed it to the little bee as I dropped it in her bag. My reward was a BIG smile, as I wished the father and daughter a very happy Halloween as he took her by the hand, smiled, and walked over to the next house.

PC aint won yet guys....childhood is NOT dead so long as fathers like that exist!
