How many Trick or Treaters came to your house?
#31
None -- but not because of the weather. We live in the country and don't have street lamps. It's DARK out there!!! And so many people in our neighborhood are snowbirders ---- they've all gone south!!!!!! I miss having the little goblins coming around!

We took our little man out and found very few houses to trick or treat at. We live on a military post and went to a few different subdivisions. SOOO many houses with their lights on but nobody answered the door. Several houses all decorated up with lights and pumpkins and spider webs, the works, but when we rang the door bell nothing. I was pretty bummed as he just turned 5 and was super excited. But when I asked him if he had fun he was just tickled with everything. So the night was still a succes

We had one tiny little guy who came with his dad, he couldn't talk yet:) We used to get 10-12 when we lived on the ranch. I live in a town of less than 200 residents and we have a grade school. I was very surprised that none of the school kids came by. Maybe they had an arranged event at the school?? Good thing I bought candy that DH likes!

We had a grand total of 1.
She had put in a lot of effort though - black wig, make-up, fancy dress (old style, maybe fake Victorian) and was very polite. Perhaps 8 years old, accompanied by mum standing by the road.
So she got some sweets, and I hope had a good night.
Strange thing was, I heard more trick-or-treaters but no-one else rang our bell. Not that I'm sad - it sounded like gangs of young lads and I don't really enjoy having them descend on me. So maybe people are being more careful and mainly going to the houses of those they know?

We live in a neighborhood that is in transition. It is an old neighborhood in this city and sadly many of our historic neighbors are passing away or moving to assisted living facilities. We have more and more new families (which is fun) with kids moving in. We have had years when we only had one or two. This year we had about 20, including (according to DH) the cutest little ducky you have ever seen. :)
