We've slowed down. I have 8 pieces of candy left, and mr flea and Casper aren't back yet.

No one yet in my neighborhood. Plus--more candy for us. Negative--Hubby will pout. He's such a kid.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I have 8 pieces of candy left,
Phew!
and mr flea and Casper aren't back yet.
I'm sure they'll be glad to help with those last 8 pieces.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
What, no trick or treat watch n post?
Our city had Trick of Treating on Saturday. Plus, at work, and even when I am home on TorT day I have yet to have kids show up in the 9 years I've lived in my apartment since my entrance is around back and it's not obvious it's a duplex.
Hopefully there won't be any new property damage when I get home.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Man, now I feel really bad! I've never had trick-or-treaters! Of course, now I realize I've never been home at trick or treat time. Should I give them a quarter?
Edit: OK, I just ignored them, like a big meanie, WHICH I AM NOT. Next year I will buy candy, and probably end up eating it all myself.

Still not a single kid yet. Weird. I wonder whether someone in the neighborhood is having a party for the kids or something. Or maybe everyone hated our candy last year? Nah - I gave out full-sized candy bars. What's not to love??

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
yeah, I bought stuff, but I am staying at work with my web designer who has to finish a project we are working on.

What is even happening?
That's weird, Jen. Usually kids remember the houses that give full size bars.
We only get the non-lazy kids, because our house sits up high. We've had a handful so far. A devil (girl), several ninja, a couple of football players, Swow White, a dwarf (cutest homemade costume, ever), a lady bug, Sleeping Beauty, Ariel, an angel, a couple of princesses of unknown origin, and of course my own brood (Dracula, Corpse Bride, and Green Power Ranger) took candy to start with. Now we're having a lull, and I'm having popcorn (so I don't lapse into a candy coma) with red wine, which just isn't a good combination.

OK, I obsessively checked last year's Natter to find out what time kids started arriving. It was only about a half an hour earlier. And since I did that, there have been eight kids.
Also, I lied. I did not hand out full-sized bars last year, it seems. There were Butterfingers, though. I love those. Didn't get any this year. Boo.
ETA: Vampire, angels, witches, random cartoony bird-like thing, hobo.

Aaaand we were out of candy by 7 (4 bags). Porch light off, door closed.
Casper's old nanny came by and told me that our neighbors who live on the big street (we're on a little cross street) buy 40 lbs of candy and get through it all. I like trick or treating, but that's ridiculous - candy is expensive!
mr. flea and Casper still not back! The baby caterpillar has gone to bed.
