How many ToTers have you gotten? Mine started coming around 6:30. I must have had at least two dozen of them now, and it's only 7:00. I hope they slow down, because at this rate I'm going to run out of candy. In the neighboorhood we lived in last year, I got less than 10 ToTers, so I started off the evening giving out 2 pieces of candy each. Big mistake!
Re: trick or treaters
I had 30-40 kids. I ran out of candy around 7:30 or so and turned off the porch light. I was giving handfuls of candy though because I didn't want to be left with any. Oops. about 30 minutes after I turned off the light, my doorbell rang and I got up and noticed that V turned the porch light back on. I had to give them some of the candy out of his bag becuase I didn't have any left!
ETA: except the bag of m&m's I was (and am still) eating. So not good for my weight loss goals!
We had to turn our porch light off too shortly before 8. We probably got around 30-40 kids. Halloween seems to be a good indicator of how much our neighborhood grows each year.
I was surprised at how many kids didn't have costumes this year.
my bookshelf!
Bloggy
I bought 170 pieces of candy and we ended up with 3 pieces left at the end of the night. I think most of the kids got 2 pieces of candy, maybe 3. So I guess we probably got around 65-70. They seemed to come in giant waves with a few stragglers at the very end (I think I turned the light off at about 8:30).
A friend of mine on FB lives in Mesta Park and said she had 3200 pieces of candy and was planning on two per kid. That sounds exhausting!
Yeah... we had a maybe 12 year old dressed up as a stripper, complete with dollar bills in her bust and underwear.
This was our first Halloween here and I bought tons of candy... we had maybe 20 trick or treaters all night. The candy went to work with MH today so I wouldn't eat it all.
We didn't have any! And, we bought a ton of candy. There's a carnival in our town every year on Halloween, but I figured the kids would go trick-or-treating afterwards. I guess they don't.
