Tricks or Treats

Halloween. One of my most favorite times of the year. I love handing out treats to all the little goblins that come to the door. I love the costumes. I love the smell of leaves in the air. I love the anticipation of the kids as they come to door wondering what kind of goodies they will get. Yes, Halloween.

We had a slight drizzle here in Holland but the air was warm for the end of October. I can remember many Halloweens where it was down right bitter out. The air smelled amazing outside.

This year we had a TON of tricker-or-treaters. I bought bags and bags of candy (7 big bags). I was stingey handing it out. One piece = one child. Last year I ran out and I didn't want to have that happen again. I had one rude highschooler call me out on my stinginess telling me "Only one piece, you should by more candy lady so you aren't so stingy." Nice. I of course didn't say anything to the kid as he was walking away for fear of getting T-P'd or something since it is the day for tricks to be played. I wanted to tell him "I didn't HAVE to give you anything at all you spoiled little brat. Didn't your mama teach you any manners?." Anyhoo....

For the most part the kids were polite, said thank you and looked great in their costumes. I'm sad that the day has passed already.
