I stayed home this year and handed out candy to trick-or-treaters. This may not seem too shocking of a task unless you are familiar with the insanity of my subdivision on Halloween. A newish subdivision, sidewalks, and houses which are fairly close together = ideal situation for trick-or-treating. Each Halloween it seems that 1/2 the valley takes advantage (1/2 is probably an exaggeration). Usually there are students from the college criminal justice department who stand on the corners amidst flares and direct traffic. This year there were no traffic directors, however still plenty of people, cars, and chaos. From about 6:00-7:00 I had a pretty steady stream of kids coming to my door...344 to be exact...until I ran out of candy and had to turn people away. It was actually a much more pleasant experience then I was anticipating and I enjoyed seeing all of the kids in their costumes. I also got tons of compliments on my pumpkin. I'm not sure how much they count coming from kids under the age of 10, but I was glad they liked it. 
Wow! You're brave. Glad you had a fun time. Are you coming back to WYO anytime soon?
ReplyDeleteNice pumpkin! I think it is funny that you can run out of candy in 1 hour.
ReplyDeleteSome of our apartment kids (ok, 3 kids total) visited us. I wish we had more trick-or-treaters. It is alot of fun to see the assortment of costumes! I do like your pumpkin!
ReplyDeleteThat is an impressive pumpkin...and I'm not 10 years old....hopefully that counts.
