Even though we had very nice weather - there were far fewer kids this year. There was a steady trickle for a couple hours and that was it - so have lots of leftover Reese's cups! LOL Hubby was wondering if the fear of flu was one of the reasons? The kids were very sweet and polite though - most brought by parents and grandparents. The costumes were really cuter than ever I thought!! There was one little girl dressed like a butterfly with hair in french braids like antenae and that was a treat

The night before Halloween we had a harvest party at church and invited the community - TONS of people showed up and it was fantastic! Maybe folks are changing the way they celebrate the season. Bringing the kids to an organized event may seem safer somehow. That does not give my flu-fear theory much though!!
