Was pretty much out of candy by 7:00. I'm pretty damned generous, but had a lot of large groups. Especially of tiny tots who just kill me. There was a homemade mummy costume that was really good- you couldn't see her face until right up close, which was really creepy. And lots of wings and wee sparkly dragons. Oh and a 11ish year old werewolf halfway between wolf and human form, her explanation. She was with the wee sparkly (and ROOOARing) dragon and a slightly bewildered title turtle.
Karen hung out on the porch for the end(just back from work) and then we talked while we waited for Sarah and Joe to come over to reveal their costumes. They go all in. Sarah was Rosie from the Bounty commercials and Joe was Mr.Whipple of " don't squeeze the Charming!" Sarah made custom labels to resemble vintage packaging identical to the real ones!

Thrive to spite them
I thought I was closing at work so I didn't candy. My front proch light is burned out anyway, but I think by the time I got home most of the trick or treating was done because I didn't see or here anyone.
It was really really slow today and I think being a Halloween Friday there's more stuff going on and instead of going to buy things they are either doing last minute shopping or getting ready for parties.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I've gotten maybe 15 kids and the vat o' candy is almost empty.
The girl who took my money at the Wendy's drive-through said she was there until 2am and had three kids. She seemed unhappy about it. I'm thinking about taking the remaining candy over there and handing it to her through the window for her kids.

Just had my first Trick or Treaters, a polite group of tween boys. One football player, one in a tux, and one zombie. All of them tried not to stare at my fangs.

That's cool of you, Zen.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That would be so sweet, Zen!
Maybe stay inside, Chicago? Yikes!
I got six ToTers. Ah well.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
That's a great idea, Zen!
I caught up with my friend and had dinner. We came back to watch Only Lovers Left Alive, but the disc wouldn't play. So now the Burton Sleepy Hollow is on. Such a pretty phase for Depp.

Uh, yeah. I think that's wise. On my way home, I was pretty sure I was going to achieve liftoff like a scene out of Mary Poppins.

That'd be really cool, Zen.
Had a lot of older teens in no costume, but I swear, they once again proved to be the sweetest things. 3 of the 5 compliment on my prom dress came from 2 girls and one boy! One looked disappointed when I told her my mom made it. Score for 1993 quasi Goth! And they all asked about what I was (either Queen Fixit or "your future as a homeowner!")
Other compliments were from little girls in sparkly costumes. One looked me up and down, big eyed "Can I touch it?" "So soft!" Her very young dad looked a bit embarrassed, but I assured him it was fine.
