I must be old.  I remember getting popcorn balls, caramel apples, homemade cookies, etc. at Halloween.  Kiss those days goodbye.  Most of the little kids have been and gone and now I'm seeing the big kids.  Not too big of a turnout - looks like I'll have some snickers for myself.  :D

I'm hitting the stores in the morning early...to get the savings on the candy they didn't sell this year because of the crappy economy.

Too late, the Christmas candy is already out. I didn't see any Halloween candy still on the shelves. I'll look again, but . . .

My wife and I were discussing this last night.  When I was a kid, I lived in a suburb of Grand Rapids and we had maybe 500 houses in our division and another 1500 within a mile of our house.  We used to make at least two rounds through the hood and then walk the mile to the other hoods for the late night stuff.  By 11:00 pm, you couldn't find the floor of the living room because of all the candy the four of us came home with.

Carmel apples or anything home made got tossed immediately and we went directly for the store bought goodies.

The 60's was a great decade to be a kid.

Heck, the only trick-or-treaters we get every year are the neighbor's kids from 1/4 mile across the road........ and this year the whole family had the flu this week.
So, we called them and told them we left them some goody bags in their mailbox.

My wife still buys too much candy, "just in case".....oh well, time for another sugar rush for the one-legged fat man........ah ha!!!!!!!

My township has an ordinance  - Trick or Treat limited to 6-8 pm only.  I remember going from the minute we got home from school until about 8 pm.  I can understand stopping it at 8, but why limit when it starts?

Anyway, I compensate for the small window by giving out 5 pieces per goblin.

Lots of Kids at my door tonight. I answered wearing my wolfman mask and got a satisfying amount of squeals from the kids. I even scared one of the older boys in the neighborhood, into running from the door. The younger kids, for the most part, just laughed and held out their bags for the goodies.
