Growing up just doesn't seem as awesome as it used to be. So sad.

In all ways. We weren't taken to shopping malls to get treats from businesses. That's got to be the lowest bubble wrap safety yet.

I had around 20 kids in the end. We still have a lot of candy of the 120 peices, I gave out two at a time, I estimate I ate three of them, Mr. QK had ?? So if I count the number leftover I'd have a better estimation.

Pumpkins this year were bought late for some reason. We were carving them after work, I did mine anyways. They weren't too scary looking this year. I had a idea to put a pumpkin on ever wheelbarrow for next year to make a spooky walk. Will have to remember that one.

November 1 now so I guess it's all down hill from here til Christmas.

We're in a small pocket neighbourhood - there are four houses on a street with multifamily. We usually get between 0 and 12. Last night we had 2, a father & daughter. Father was dressed up too, carrying a bag for his youngest who had already powered out. I grabbed handfuls of candy for them, should have probably just dumped the bowl in their bags :admin:

Down south, we just had the door bell ring. Thinking it was a trick or treater I go flying down the stairs. Could be the first in 20 years?
It was the neighbour mentioning we could park in their drive as fresh paving occured today in front of our house.
She got a couple of treats regardless :D

Who is giving out mitts full of candy or one at a time? I am giving out 2-3 pieces per trick or treater. I even had the proverbial teens show up and gave out candy and didn't say a thing. They're just hanging on to the last bit of childhood, I wish I could.

:200: Even as I typed this, two more teens!

140 so far and I have a long steep driveway 85 feet long plus another 20 feet to front door around side of the garage. The younger kids don't bother coming down so would be higher if not for the long driveway.

First year we lived here we had over 350 kids. It has been steadily going downhill since then.
