Halloween experiences

[Flatcoatluver]

Everyone sounded like they had a nice Halloween.

I had to work until 7. Then I had to run to our local fair grounds because there is a dog show this weekend. So I spend the rest of the night getting Sage used to the grounds so we could perform well this weekend. Boo! I wish we got trick or treaters, we get 2 at the largest amount.

By the way tons of kids said "have a nice halloween" and I even heard one kid tell another kid, "you didn't say thank you to her".

Same here... they were all so polite... except some of the really little ones who were shy and wouldn't even look at me hehe.

We had one little guy... SOOOOO cute. he was spider man. He could barely talk but he came up and said "trick or treat" and then said "thank you"... Man I just wanted to give him the whole bowl of candy. he was so adorable

I should begin by saying that the majority of the kids were polite, most of them saying 'thank you' and several saying 'Happy Halloween". However, I'd say that at least 25% of them had no costume and they weren't teenagers who just wanted treats; they were young kids. They'd come up to the door and stand there. So I'd joke w/them and say "May I help you?" and the usual answer was "yes" and I'd say "Well, what is it that you want?" and rather than say "Trick or treat", they'd say "Candy!" I don't know if their parents didn't prepare them or what but I found it odd and it happens every year. Twix is always the candy of choice and I heard one boy say as he was leaving "She is always so generous. She's the Twix lady". LOL

I have gargoyles on each side of my front porch year round and one kid who looked to be around 12 or 13 said "I like your dogs".

I ran out of candy again this year but, thankfully, the trick or treaters were finished w/yet a half hour to go. It was from 6-8 but the first beggar showed up at 6:30 and by 7:30 I was out of candy. I can't seem to calculate it right. Last year I had candy left over.

My neighbor dressed as a scarecrow and hung himself to his lamppost and when the kids came near, he screeched at them. You should've heard the screams! He came to my door afterwards and said "It's me, Adam. I just wanted you to know why there was so much screaming". Well, it is Halloween so I didn't think anything of it.

It started at about 6.15 and about 160 kids later, I was done with the candy. It's was about 8.20 when I turned the lights off.
I made little goodie pouches, that's how I know how many kids we had. I was very happy to see that only 2 parents were lame enough to have thier own basket, compared to last year, when we had 1/2 kids, 1/2 parents.

I went to a party/sleepover at a friends house, she lives right next to a church/graveyard which was quite good for halloween... I was a dead person and my friend made it look like I had a cut throat by using red eyeliner..... we went outside and watched some fireworks by the church and played some halloween games etc... didnt get to sleep till 5am...

It was fun- the best part? My friends dogs! She has a big old English sheep dog and a gorgeous little bichon frise....
