You say that like there's anything wrong with it.

Nope

not one kid here. not one.

i brought out the garden hose for nothing. :(

We were supposed to go over to a friends house but their kid got sick so we stayed home. We found out late so we didn't have any candy so we kept all the lights off. Still got like 5 groups who rang the door bell, two of them twice. Next year I'll program the sprinklers to come

We live in a seniors only neighborhood. We were the youngest when we moved in 4 years ago...now there's a couple of kids...in their late 50's...but no terrorists...I mean trick-or-treaters.

Handed out candy to over 100 kids. Most were cute and thankful - fun night!
Thankfully, got rid of all candy bars - no left overs to make me fatter.

Took my son trick or treating around the neighborhood. There was no traffic so I am sure everyone walking around was from these parts. Came home and handed some out but I think we missed most of them while we were out.

I didnt see ANY ninja turtles this year. It was kinda strange.
We did have one Pepe le Pew, and a pretty good Wednesday & Pugsley.

Had a ton of kids at our house. Didn't hurt that it was the first non-rainy Halloween in Portland in years. I enjoy seeing all the costumes.

There was an excellent Spy vs Spy costume. They got extra candy for being awesome.

Went home early to shuffle furniture around. Forgot it was Halloween ... until the first trick-or-treater showed up. I peeked out the window and thought - why is this person knocking at my door?

I just got back from Salem/Boston. Took the wife there as it is her favorite holiday. She loved it. BTW, both of us were surprised by how many grown adults were in costume, both in Salem and Boston, compared to children. Had to have been a 5:1 ratio.
