Sounds like you had a delightful evening, Gini. I'm glad you were able to put those first rude ones out of your mind and enjoy the rest. The little girl with the wand is just precious.

Unfortunately we live in a neighborhood of mostly older folks so we don't get many trick-or-treaters at all. Terry just loves it when they come to the door. He will sit upstairs just waiting for the bell to ring, then quickly rush down to hand out the candy. I think he has more fun than the kids do.

This year was a bit of a disappointment though. Terry was on the road - on his way back home - and I had not one kid come to the door. I saw a ton of kids running around other neighborhoods, but none in ours at all. Oh, and our neighborhood doesn't have sidewalks or street lights either, so I'm sure it's not the type of neighborhood that many parents would want to bring their kids to. I told Terry that next year we'll put a sign out on the main road that says "Trick-or-Treaters this way. Candy guaranteed!" with an arrow pointing towards our house.
