Took the boys out tonight candy hunting.

One bear (Cody) one Spiderman (Orion), what a blast.

 

[dwarven1]

Since when does Superman have a cowl with webbing on it? You sure that's not Spiderman?

You should have brought them to my place... I was giving out full-sized Nestle Crunch. Always hated getting those little quarter-sized bars. Won't give them out, nope, nope.

Aw, so cute. Almost makes me want to have a few more kids. Almost. [lol]

 

[SiameseRat]

I'm with Ross on the tiny candy. It's much more fun to hear the kids running back to their parents shouting "look it's big!"

I picked up resale assortment candy trays from costco. Even let kids pick out what they wanted. My pumpkins were intact this morning [lol]

 

[Cledus J. Crabb]

Derek,
You best make a point to enjoy them now, because in the time it'll take you to turn around twice, they'll be up and out the door. It went by so fast for me, I can't stand it.
Alas, if only I'd a been able to have a few more before I got too olde.

The rest of you guys.......Am I right or am I right?

Uh... no comment.

Last night was the biggest crowd we'd had come by this house since we bought it: we had 20 (you're reading that right: twenty) trick treaters. The house is on a county road with no sidewalks and not many streetlights, either. Plus my house is just past a curve that kind of demarks the point where you can walk on the sides of the road safely.

Plus the plots are a little larger than most neighborhoods in town, so the kids have to walk farther.

My last house was in a neighborhood of small plots (and small houses!), so we got lots of kids.

It drives TLK crazy when we don't have many kids showing up at the door because she loves to decorate the house: "boo blinkers" (blinking eyes) in the shrubs, vultures on the stoop railings, a large rat (not Siamese, tho) sitting on the stoop, etc.

It's going to drive her even crazier since this is the biggest crowd we've had yet... and she had to fly to Cape Canaveral on Sunday! [lol]

But the kids with no costume, or poor costumes, did get treats... and I graded them. One group had three kids who thought paintball masks were costumes. I told them that they got an F and the other three kids in the group started laughing at their friends - "Dude, you got an F!" [lol] [lol]

I told them that I expected to see better costumes next year.

But I did give points to one kid wearing tiger stripe cammies... and he even knew what they were called.

I wish I was home to hand out candy. I saw a big group of 13 to 14 year olds with no costumes at all. I would have had fun with them.

"Let me guess, you dressed up as a little punk who gets his ass kicked all the time."

"And you, oh where do I start with you? You dressed up as a fat kid who isn't sure he likes girls."

"And you... You dressed as a bi-curious transgender?"

"Great job fellas, now beat it!"

 

[C-pher]

Those are great.

We had a lot of kids. I mean a lot. I guess that I went though about 8 bags of candy. And we didn't have any that didn't have on a costume.

I took out Hadley as well, here we are on our front porch before I walked her around.

 

[Admin]

She's a cutie pie C-Pher!

 

[C-pher]

Thanks, it's not like you didn't do a good job yourself. That's one handsome bear you got there. I think that we're both going to be in trouble.

Mine likes to chase the boys around and try to kiss them at daycare. That's got me concerned. But as long as it stops by about 4th or 5th grade, I think that I won't go crazy. [shock]

Heh. You're in deep, deep trouble, C-pher. Just make sure you invite some of her beaus to go shooting with you... that way they know you're armed. [twisted]

 

[MrsWildweasel]

HEHEHEHE, just wait,when you have the boys calling,or in Dereks case the girls will be calling.
Alan was oblivious to all the girls liking him. It was rather amusing. I told him they'd have to hit him over the head with a 2x4 to make him realise it. [lol]

I got a rock.

But did you see the Great Pumpkin? [lol]

We had exactly the same number of kids we had last year.

Zero

First two years we lived here, I set out torches all along the road, rigged black lights, and made the whole 1/4 mile driveway an 'adventure'. Set off some good Smoke Bombs to give the right atmosphere too. Stocked up on the huge 1/4 lb Hershey bars to give out and waited.

I guess there is a drawback from being really isolated.

Even the neighbor's kids drove to a real neighborhood to go hunting. (^_^)

 

[Pilgrim]

I live on a dirt road, behind 200 feet of dense trees ad undergrowth. Can't see the house from the road, thanks to a real twisty driveway. In 10 years I've been there, we had 1 kid come...once.

The only ones were see are the grandkids who get brung by my kids.

S'ok with me.

I feel better now.

Boy... quarter pound hershey bars? Some kid would have lucked out if they'd walked all the way in to your place.
