Trick-or-Treat!

[sakon76]

Most of the normal places we get Halloween pumpkins were out by the time we went to purchase them, but in the end we prevailed and got two. Wonderful Husband did a blocky face and I, after asking Squiddle what kind of pumpkin face he wanted ("scary") did one with pointy teeth. We also made up a couple tomato cage ghosts, which were fun and will probably be dragged out again next year.

All that, and we got a grand total of 29 trick-or-treaters. Which is less than half of last year's number! So we have leftover candy, and I have no willpower. *sigh* But after the first couple groups of kids came to our door, Squiddle announced that he also wanted to do trick-or-treating, which he was clearly equating with "dress up in costume and be given candy by my parents" rather than "dress up in costume and go door-to-door." ^_^ So Wonderful Husband helped him into his Toothless costume, and he got to have two small Tootsie Rolls over the course of the evening.

:D
We had about 15 or 20. Which is about par. Kind of an aging neighborhood.

Although they say Halloween is catching on over here we had no visitors :( However, I really liked the tomato cage ghosts and will certainly make one for next year, that should help. Glad Squiddle got to take part too! Mx

Tomato cage ghost is awesome! What a great, simple idea :D I didn't have time or brainspace for any decorating at all this year, but maybe next year.

We had beautiful warm weather, so I bought extra candy just in case of a big turnout, but just got my usual 40 or so. Took my extra bags of candy in to work, since I also have no willpower (especially the Twix. I ate them all out of the variety bag before the trick-or-treaters even got to my house >_>)
