Spin off - how much candy do you give out?

My dogs also go nuts when people come to the door. But we still hand out candy. We usually only get 10 or less trick-or-treaters. We have three kids and one baby in the court, but others come from around. The court is rather dark so they are discouraged from coming in. Which is too bad because our house is always decorated all spooky for Halloween. But we also have an adult Halloween Party, so that is fun!

When we first moved here in the early 70's, we had a lot of kids. There's an elementary school on the corner, so maybe that was why. As the years went by, we got less kids. Our block are single homes and a longer space for the kids to walk between houses. A block or 2 away, there are attached homes and smaller homes so the kids don't have to go far to get to another house. I used to T or T with my niece when she was a kid and I even went to the other blocks, where the adults hung out outside and talked and drank beer. Tons of kids. Chased by a gorilla and monsters! The last 10 years, I got 4-6 kids.
I always gave out regular sized candy bars, knowing I'd wind up with more than half left over. I hated Halloween because it drove Cody nuts and we had to lock him in a room for hours. Logan barks but wants to participate and meet everyone.

This year, mainly because I haven't called an electrician yet to rewire my porch light, we're going to the grandkids house and walking with them and taking turns giving out goodies. .
