Somebody with a “I’m doing ok flex” in my neighborhood tonight. My boys and their crew of buddies all got a full size sleeve of Pringles. That’s a first!

Auburn Bay, last year was about 120 kids, this year about 40. I know what I'm getting for Christmas this year.
Fat. I'm getting fat

Just under 20 bags of chips claimed off the front step, when I turned off the lights and brought everything in at 9:00 in Saddleridge

Must have been 89 kids tonight. 8th year in the house, I think it was the 2nd busiest year in this house. We had construction around us for the first 4 years, which always steers kids towards more densely populated areas.
Got 90 bags of chips (88 after my wife ate two, while I was out with the kids).
+ 5 boxes of candies to give them a hand full with the chips.
We came up 1 bag short at 8:20, so that kid just two hands full of candy and we turned the lights off, probably could have given taken 5 or 6 more kids with the candy leftover, but it was good enough.

Finished up with 34 kids in Whitehorn tonight. We had to leave unexpectedly, so left the cauldron with about 15 mini-bars, 3 glow sticks and a couple of 'spooky rings' (for those who can't get candy) on the doorstep. Came home to find the cauldron completely empty.
Was a decent year here for us.

That's the trick part

80+ in Sagewood (Airdrie) — our first year so we didn’t know what to expect, we ran out at that point and probably could’ve had another 30-40 kids. Busy area for it, we’ll be prepared for next year!

My wife and I went for a walk and saw tons of kids a little bit up the road in our neighbourhood. Probably would have had a hundred if we lived a km further up the street. We had like 4 kids total.
We bought full-sized chocolate bars, and I had anticipated that we might run out, but now we have 40 big chocolate bars.

Halloween is finally taking off in Australia. Had over 30 kids last night which beats my previous record of 2.
Also my daughter got a decent haul without having to go far from home. A few streets went all in with at least half of those houses participating.

Had around 100 kids in Evanston. Had a fire pit going on the driveway and roasted hot dogs while giving out candy. Bought 350 pieces of candy and everything was gone. Kids came out early around 5:30 and was completely finished by 730. Kids don’t stay out as late anymore. I remember going until at least 9:00 when I was younger.

You’re lucky they’re not handing out TP and eggs
