My best is a married couple, who went to an adult party as bacon and sexy bacon.

My favorite family costume (from several years ago) was a Hershey Bar mom, jar of peanut butter dad, and toddler Reeses Cup.

Nice shirt, Burrell!

I had exactly zero trick or treaters. Then again, I was out during prime TorTing hours. Anyway, now I have a bag of candy in the freezer.

At some point today I should gas up the car and go grocery shopping. But it's chilly and rainy, and I have a huge cup of coffee and a warm cat on my lap. So that point will not be anytime soon.

Ha!

My informal count was somewhere between 30 and 40. A fair number were babes/toddlers-in-arms (or in stroller) with the parent actually collecting the treats. Often, the parents were in costume, too.

I gently chided one child dressed as Superman who was carrying a Spider-Man treat bucket, but told him I was giving him candy anyway.

Maybe he was the Henry Cavill version of Superman, using Spider-man's head as a bucket?

I noticed, when I was dropping treats in buckets, that one kid had a dollar bill in his. I wondered if he put it there to see if other people would cough up dollar bills, or if Richie Rich had moved to my street.

I had a few trick-or-treaters at the office in the half hour between their start and me going home. Some real cuties - little darth vader always slays me. When I finally opened my bags of candy I was able to fill my plastic cauldron and my metal pumpkin dish and have plenty left over to give to my next-door-cube neighbor who had forgotten to bring in candy. And that's not including all the black and white candy I had gotten to, like, go with my costume (I tried a lollipop and it was black cherry flavored, yum).

I left the cauldron and black and white candy out on my desk with a sign to take some, I hope it'll at least have a good dent in it. Most of the kids were very politely only taking one piece so we'll see.

The s'more pies were not a hit - I had over a dozen still left. We did have a lot of desserts, though - two chocolate cakes, pumpkin pie, pumpkin cheesecake, and chocolate chip cookies. One person told me they were good, and I overheard someone else saying it was too rich for her (which I can understand). I had one this morning and I like them, so, too bad I can't get them to you guys easily because I do not need to eat a dozen of these. I guess I will find out if they freeze okay. Oh, and now that the ganache has firmed up I can take them out of the muffin tin without them losing their shape.

Was not home for ToT time, went to see the Addams Family musical. Good production, I'm not sure I like the writing. Costume contest at intermissions which I won (due mostly, I think, to the emcee referring to my costume as American Horror Story). One of the guys was dressed as Bert Macklin, FBI which I don't think people were getting all the layers of.

Timelies all!

Concert was good. There were a few people in costume there. Besides the usual array of Stevie Nicks wannabees, I saw someone in a sexy devil costume, and two people in animal onesies. (At least one of them took theirs off before the show started- I guess it was too warm.)

My parents' church choir went to sing for/with my dad this morning, and it was so great! He was super into it, talked more than I've heard him in forever, and everyone generally had a great time. So nice!
