Tricks or Treats
That's how they refer to it on It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. Had fun giving out candy last night. Alex came over, we ordered pizza and hung out. We watched some cheesy scary movies and I had recorded the Charlie Brown show from the night before. Unfortunately they had Breaking News twice during the cartoon for the dumb earthquake. There wasn't even really anything to report!
We weren't swarmed with kids. But we had a decent amount. There, of course, were tons of cute little kids. There was a sweet little girl dressed as a tomato. The coolest was probably the marshmallow. There was a Rubik's cube, twin pumpkins, a barista with a Starbucks apron and a pencil mustache. There were two adorable little ones dressed up as chickens. I gave them each two pieces. And one of the chickens offered their second piece to mom. How sweet. Mom reminded them to say thank you and one little chicken turned around and said: cockadoodledoo! Hilarious. Another kid was reminded to say thank you as they were walking away, turns around and screams, THANK YOU!
At one point Alex and I were just watching from the front door we saw a group of kids at the house across the street. We saw a stick figure. Eventually they got to our door. It was a group of older kids, but they all had costumes and quite creative ones at that. One guy had a dress on and said, Hi, my name is Janice. I handed him some candy and asked where he was keeping his candy. He stuck it where his boobs would be. HA!
Oh, one set of kids irked me (besides the older kids who don't bother putting on a costume and beg for candy). In this particular group one kid asked if we had lemonheads. Can you believe that? I had good candy, Snickers, Almond Joy, Resse's up the wazoo, Hershey's--lots and lots of chocolate. Then another kid in that same group was looking in my bucket o' candy and was trying to make requests. I told them they get what they get.
Other than that it was a good night. We had a lot of fun watching the kids and seeing some pretty creative costumes.

Is it bad that we skipped this years festivities? We had horrible kids last year and decided to go out to dinner instead. Maybe we will change our mind next year!
Oh and congrats on the anny!
kids these days! i can't believe they were making requests like that. the sense of entitlement is trickling down to even the youngest of the youngest. sad.
