Wasn't expecting a 66% increase in kids this year - ran out of full sizers. I had like 10 extra bars last year and had way too much.

Yeah, Wagon Wheels aren't much of a consolation but I didn't think I'd come close to needing a backup. Better than nothing. Like the rich loser across the street in a townhouse that has his ground floor lights off all night but I can see his 2nd floor dimmed to avoid kids. Cheap focker.

EDIT - And I'm out of Wagon Wheels now.... next kid gets a can of Monster Energy Drink to amp themselves up with.

I love Halloween because it is the only time in the year I can stock up on Rockets, I frikkin love those things. I bought 10 big bags at Walmart this year.

6 years in the same condo in a walk up building and never had one trick or treater..... until tonight. A new immigrant couple moved into the building about a year ago, and their 4 year old was going out for the first time. I told them to stop by if they decide to take their son out this year. He knocked on my door and gave him a whole bag of rockets, a 90 count. I said "you forgot to say trick or treat." So he says "tik or teet" "That's better" I said, and I dropped another heirloom pack lot of 90 rockets in his bag. Kids face looked like he'd just won the lottery.

Probably got about 50 (Springbank Hill). Most of the nearby streets seemed busier, but there are a bunch of spoilsports on our cul-de-sac that leave their lights out and don't give out candy (while almost all houses on the adjacent cul-de-sacs were giving out loot), so a lot of the kids skip it.

Kinda lame for a bunch of people living there to be cheap asses. Maybe they were too busy winterizing their Bentley or something.

Probably. 30 years from now when their kid is has the same meth like addiction to rockets that I do, he'll hate me too. Right now my computer desk is littered with the casings of those sweet little pills of tarty goodness.

Only 14 kids here in Cedarbrae - quite disappointing. There were some awesome costumes though to compensate. I was giving out mini Toblerone bars, Coffee Crisps, Kits Kats, Smarties, Aero, popping candy. fudge filled eye balls, severed fingers and toes filled with candy crunch, severed ears, peanut butter filled lips. Started giving away handfuls when it appeared that not many more were going to come. My husband's colleagues at work are going to have a field day tomorrow.
