Halloween Report

Halloween was kind of a letdown and very low key this year. Perhaps it was the unexpected snowstorm and power outages or maybe it's because it fell on a Monday, but we had very few kids this year. Three bags of candy and only went through less than one. Though that does have a positive aspect, since I get to finish the Reese's Cups. And I did get to hand out some Nightmare Club postcards. One little boy seemed pretty excited to get one, even.

Does anybody else feel a little weird handing out candy to Trick or Treaters who are obviously late teens and bigger than most adults? Seemed to be more of them this year. Of course, if you want to save washing eggs off your house, or worse, it's a good idea to just fork over the goods.

The annual Halloween party at the firehouse was also pretty lame this time. Same old magician, who now, along with his assistant, looks about 70. They cut out the haunted house and some of the other things for the tween kids. The pizza this year seemed to be...I dunno, moving. Everything felt very lackluster, which was a bummer, because I love Halloween. Maybe the piss poor economy put a crimp in it. Or maybe it was just my area.

But I think I'll extend Halloween another day and make pumpkin seeds and watch scary movies tomorrow night...after the dentist apportionment, which is far scarier. And eat a bag of Peanut Butter Cups. So there!
