This year was a bit disappointing with the trick-or-treaters for Halloween. Our family went all out decorating our house for the big day. We had lots of inviting decor both on the inside of our house and out. We had friendly decorations, nothing spooky. I didn’t want to scare any of the little kinds, not to mention our own kids.
In preparation for the big night I bought countless bags of candy. Last year because I had an injury I stayed home to pass out the candy and had lots of fun and was really looking forward to doing it again this year. Over a 5 hour period we might have had 20-30 kids visit out home. I was utterly devastated. I was really excited to see all of the kids in their costumes and have them tell me what they were if I wasn’t quite sure. I did get to see a few creative costumes. One little girl came as a Lipton Tea bag, and her sister was a bubble gum machine. They really had truly original costumes.
I have way too much candy left over. I don’t want to keep in my home because I know the kids will want to devour it all, or maybe I might. We already limit the candy intake the kids have and it will just be an added temptation for them. I’m going to do some searching to find something to do with all of this left over sugar I have laying around. Oh I just remembered, the program about sending the candy to our troops. That will be a great way to get rid of it and do something nice.
