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. .
