We only had three but later had two groups of high school kids which we told them that they were too old to be out. One group came back after the lights were out but we told them to go away. My older grandchildren don't go out anymore so I was surprised that these showed up. It is over for another year.

I noticed that the number of houses to go to was WAY down this year. I am thinking maybe folks just didn't have the extra money for candy to pass out.
My youngest son (4 yo) really enjoyed trick or treating this year. He had the concept down. He displayed his best manners and said Trick or Treat and a hearty Thank You after receiving the candy.
His problem was that he couldn't discern who the right folks to say trick or treat to were.
So, he ended up trick or treating fellow trick or treater's! A bunch of teenagers were happy to oblige and gave him candy out of their own bags.
He and his five siblings had a great night!

I had a neighborhood bunch from around me and later I had three high school aged young men.....I usually don't give candy to teenagers but they had clearly put some time and effort into their costumes so I did. One even said "Thank you, Ma'am"....and I dropped another handful into his bag for having good manners. I'm a middle school teacher and can tell you that manners are a lost art!!!!!

I bet I beat you all for the number of trick or treaters. I had 427. Our trick or treat was held on Nov. 3 due to a major storm in Massachusetts. We had no power for 4 days. The surrounding towns had their trick or treat on Nov. 5, so I'm sure most of my visitors were from other towns. I had one little guy that was an adorable Spiderman. As he was walking down the walk I said " Is that Spiderman coming?" When he reached the door he looked up at me and said "No, it's just a costume" He was about 3 yrs. old and cute as could be.
