We had 26 - yes, I counted, plus one canine (he got a biscuit, not chocolate). I *love* handing out the candy. The 5 kids from next door were first, then there was a tyke - maybe four years old, if that, from down the street. She was a pink fairy, complete with magic wand, blonde whispy hair and big blue eyes. You have to climb a flight of stairs to get to my porch, and when she was two steps from the top, I opened the door, and she said (honest to goodness) "Twick-or-tweet?"

What more could anyone want! Everyone was polite, lots of original costumes, and a nice night.

Miss Hoppy opted out this year, and napped inside instead of greeting visitors.
