All Hallows Eve - November 01, 2007

The trick or treaters were out in force last night. Most of the kids were well behaved and did the right thing. As candy giver, I demand proper etiquette. Which means they have to say "Trick or Treat" (a "Happy Halloween" will suffice) and be in a costume. Sometimes I have to ask what the costume is, but anybody just trolling the neighborhood for candy gets the pink tootsie rolls - Yuck!

Garrett was in the Power Ranger outfit, and Sara went with the Daphne (from Scooby Doo) outfit, but without the go-go boots and the pink wig. That was a departure from the school party where she went in glittery cocktail dress. I guess the nighttime requires the shorter skirt.

The weather cooperated and it was a nice, although cool evening for a walk. The knocks at the door started a little after 6pm and finished up just after 8. I think that timeframe is pretty consistent with prior years even though the lack of the normal "fall back" time change has usually happened by now.

The candy haul was pretty good, but I'm starting to wonder if our chosen handouts are inappropriate for the neighborhood. We gave out mini-tootsie pops and tootsie rolls which varied significantly with the brand name chocolate bars that ended up in Garrett and Sara's collection.

Now the real trick is for me to sneak into the kids collections and get my own treats!
