I love Halloween. It was my favorite holiday as a kid and still is. This year I had about 50 Trick or Treaters vs 100 last year - when I ran out of candy and gave them coins.

Most came in big groups with their parents. I had bought some gumball eyeballs to make it look like more candy. Apparently that is the "IN" candy with five year old males. The shout went up and some came back twice. LOL One little blond haired cutie came first with his mask up and then with his mask down. He dropped it as our eyes met. Just couldn't get enough of those eyeballs.

Another saw the eyeballs as I dropped some candy in his bag and said "Oh! Can I have this?" So I gave him a handful. As he ran across the lawn he shouted "Mom! I got an eyeball!"

Too cute for words.

All said thank you even the older ones. Some wished me a Happy Halloween.

Well worth waiting at the door for the patter of little feet. I miss the big Halloween Party I organized every year at our co-op. Maybe I will find some place here that would like one - treasure hunt, pinata, ghost stories, dunking for apples, etc.

Rain cut short the holiday and now I have a ton of candy to bring to work. Happy Halloween everyone!
