One of my friends from high school, Holli, lives near us and emailed me this week to say that they would be coming on our street tonight and wanted to know which house was ours. She told me she would be with Indiana Jones & Spiderman, so I made sure to watch for them. I even made the 2 boys each a giant bag of candy, pencils, erasers, etc. I watched all the kids come and go, talked to everyone, looked at the costumes and commented on them, saw 2 little boys come running up and told them how cute their Indiana Jones & Spiderman costumes were, watched them leave, kept on talking, then out of the blue....DOH!!!! I realized that it didn't dawn on me (ha ha) that they were the ones I was watching for!! I even saw who they were with and never thought to see if it was Holli!! Walter & I stayed outside an extra 3o minutes watching for them to come back down the street (it's a 1-way), but never saw them!! I felt really stupid!! I emailed her to see if that was them. If it wasn't, it was a huge coincidence because I didn't see any other Indiana Jones or Spiderman all night! Here are some pictures of our night:
Now, go back to the 4th picture and look at the way I'm looking at that kid! It's funny that Walter happened to take a picture then, because I was having one of those "you're not serious" moments mixed with a "where are your parents??" That little kid stood there and sang as loud as he could, "trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat!! If you don't, I don't care! I'll pull down your UNDERWEAR!!!" The look I gave him said, "try me." LOL I'm sorry, but that is a song you sing at home or with your friends. Not to some lady you've never seen before and hopefully will never see again! Manners were created for a reason!!
So anyway, we had a fun time and I'm really glad it's the weekend! I plan to sleep LATE in the morning, or as late as my crazy cat will let me. We want to bring Cameron & Bryce to the state fair tomorrow, if they want to go. That is one of my favorite memories as a teenager we haven't gone since Cameron was 7 or 8.
I hope you all had a great Halloween!!!

Glad you had a fun time! I love to stay home and give out the candy too.
Looks like y'all had a very good turn out. That picture of you is priceless. You're very right though, not appropriate to sing to a stranger that way especially an adult. I'm sure you gave away all your candy with that many kids.
We did the trick r treat thing -- They closed down main street and we walked all the way down trick r treating, the kids had a great time.
Looks like yall had a great time too.
Hugs,
wow, lots o' kids! that's funny what that kid sang. I guess I'm the irreverent one that gets a kick out of loud, obnoxious kids (to a point, obviously!!!!)
We have rude trick or treaters...they just come up with their bags open, looking sort of ticked they actually have to walk all the way to the door and don'teven say trick or treat. They sometimes grab their own giant handfuls of candy and of course don't say thank you.
This is the reason most everyone in my neighborhood quitgiving out candy. It seems big groups that don't belong here are bussed in and everyone's out of candy in 20-30 minutes...and we buy a LOT!
We had about 5 trick or treaters. The first year we moved into our development, we thought there would be a ton of trick or treaters because of the proximity of the houses. We have none! I was stuck with so much candy the first year!
That is too fun! We went to Boo at the zoo. I'll be posting about it some time today. I'm a bit slow today. Must be the candy hangover.
Look at all those kids! They looked like they were having a great time! We get about that many in our neighborhood too. I love Halloween! We didn't hand out candy this year because the kids weren't home and Jordyn went with her friends in another neighborhood. It was the first year that we didn't hand out candy. I was kinda sad about it, but Shayne and I had a good time at the movies.
I love your face in that pic with the kid that was singing! That is too funny and uhh annoying too I bet!
Looks like you all had a great
turn out!
I love how you have the same skelton PartyLite candle holder as I have! I love that piece!
It never occurred to me that some people would sit on their porches to hand out candy. It's always so cold in Kansas on Halloween (one year it had even snowed!).
