Yes. Yes we do. The GG asked me that when the candy bowl started to look a little low.

I can’t believe how many trick-or-treaters we had tonight. Back when the beach urchins were little kids, we had a lot, then for many many years we did not. I used to try to count and there might be seven or 10 or whatever. I dunno why we got more this year. It may be because we had a ghoulish display in our front yard.

The weather looked really iffy for trick-or-treating this afternoon. Big fugly looking storm clouds and high winds and a bit of rain. Somehow things settled down around the time trick-or-treating started and we handed out candy to many groups. Don’t worry. Even though I had to replenish the candy bowl, there is still plenty of leftover candy for the folks who usually take my leftovers.

Kudos to the young girl who refused a Reese’s peanut butter cup. “I can’t eat that.”

Our first Halloween at The Landfill, our first born was eight days old. When kids trick-or-treated we (jokingly) offered her up as a treat. There was much oohing and aahing but no takers. She’s in the pic in one of the most complicated costumes I have ever made. Cardboard fairy wings covered with gold lame fabric and hand-sewed sequins all around the edges. Her kindergarten teacher cautioned that it would be destroyed but the wings still exist to this day.
