I just got back with the kids after an hour out there. Beautiful night everyone is in a great mood. My wife is taking them out for round two. Dad will stay home and "check" their candy to make sure everything is safe.

Also, one house had a "We do not celebrate Halloween" sign on the door. We'll see how that works out for them.

Not a single kid showed up at our doors so far. Maybe I should change the decorations...

It's already ended out here.

10 which is a new high for us.

Although 4 were family friends who dressed up as Batman, Batgirl, Batbaby and Batdog. Yes I'm counting the dog. Haha

35 or so kids so far, mostly the young crowd. Usually a gap now until the older kids come out, but we got 1/3rd less candy this year and I'm only about half way through so seems quite a bit lower than last year.

We're at 45 now. New development with lots of kids so I expect quite a few more before the end of the night.

Had about 10 over the course of the evening. The little ones, so cute. A little Spider-Man running back because he forgot to say Happy Halloween!

None so far.

I'm giving out chips this year (if anyone shows up) since I think sugar is one of the worst things you can give a child to eat.

New neighborhood for me so I'm not sure how it'll work out. There's lots of schools nearby though so I'm not sure where this will go.

About 35 at my place in the NW. First time in my new home so I wasn't sure. First 30 came within 20 minutes at 6. Thought I was going to run out so I raced to the store and bought 5 more boxes. I'm going to have a whole bunch of leftovers now!

We had 32 in Scenic Acres. Turned out the lights early as we have a 3 month old, but left the rest of our candy on the front porch. So, tons of free candy for whomever finds it first.
