I have never seen so many trick or treaters in my life. This "Life in the Burbs" thing is stressful

We just returned from Seaside. I had no idea so many small children existed here! Lots of adults in costume too- next year I will plan ahead!

But it is kinda weird not answering the door tonight.

So do people not go door to door there?

You guessed correctly. Probably too many strike outs with all of the second homes, and locals tend to like their space and privacy. Plus, what kid in their right mind would have to work for candy. They can go to Seaside and the candy harvest comes too easily. ;-)

We had a great turn-out here. My favorite this year were the masks that looked like the painting "The Scream." Except that it had blood dripping down it.

If any trick or treaters came to our door right now, they would find 1 rather large toad (that won't go away- tomorrow he gets a name), 1 small tan frog, and 3 humongous Palmetto bugs.

Back to raiding the kids candy bags!!

We never have had a trick or treater here in 5 years. Seaside was ok tonight. I dont think it was as good as the last few years...IMO

We usually get about 100-125 or so. They pull up in mini -vans.
This year was slow though. Got about 75 or so. Tons of candy left.
Quite a few of the kids and their friends are in high school now, so I think that's why we had less.

I heard quite a few people say this. Why?

It was good for me...especially seeing all my little friends! spidey as Batman / Kate as Cinderella / little ibd as a sock hop girl!!!

Are you kidding? The high school kids were out full force in our neighborhood. Just because they're not so little doesn't mean they don't still love candy and dressing up.

There's a gaggle of them downstairs now in my house. They're swapping candy. All I can hear is "I'll bid you two Snickers for one full-size Hershey" "One Reese's going for one Almond Joy plus a Smarties..." It's getting pretty heated. At the rate they're going, there's not going to be anything good for me to raid tommorow!
