Wonder how many I'll get at the apartment. At my old house last year I had a zillion of 'em.
We're giving out Reese's and snack chips.

the poor dad
We've gotten fewer and fewer each year since all the street kids have grown up. Our driveway is long, but we leave the lights on hoping we might get a couple. Got Reese's, too. Something we like because we will end up eating most of them!Happy Halloween!
OMG - REESE'S - MY FAVORITE! If I dress up as the poor dad and show up at your houses, will you give me sum?!?

Problem with apartments you cant turn off the porch light, I use to get "kids" up to 11:30 at night. I put kids in quotes because they weren't in costumes and some had mustaches.

That's a big reason I don't celebrate anymore. Took all the fun out of it.
Anyway, how many "Elsa" costumes have you all seen so far?

Yep. In fact you can have the whole bowl
We haven't had one kid so far. It occurred to me that we might not because I'm on the second floor and kids don't want to climb stairs only to find that no one is giving out treats. The good news is that I bought stuff that Monello and I like.
Apts get kids later after they go through the McMansion neighborhoods.

I'm sure it was because of ebola...
No wait, didn't Owe'mally & Boh pass a trick or treating tax this year?

I had about the same as I always do, about 65-70.

Throwing the deuces
We had less than 20 kids at our house. My husband and oldest (13) stayed home to pass out candy while I took my youngest (10) around trick or treating. Hardly anyone was passing out candy so we went home after an hour. None of us are big candy eaters so my youngest didn't care that he didn't get a lot of candy from people. The left-over candy will sit around for a few months so we can pick through what we like and then the rest will be taken to work.
Now, do you think kids don't trick or treat because fewer people are handing out candy, or vice versa?
I'm just curious why TorT isn't as popular as it was when I was a kid.

And wasn't the time change moved to later because of TorT? Or am I mistaken?
We were camping and we didn't get trick or treaters, in fact there were no kids at the campgrounds at all. We did get the drunk hay ride that kept going by, that was a funny sight to see.
Maybe the old fashioned street ToT may not be as popular as it used to be because many shopping areas/Churches/public areas, etc. hold ToT events that are supposed to be considered "safer". :shrug:
