I'm sure I'm the only one to experience those days! LOL! Looks like they did get some yummy candy. It's funny. I used to save mine. Sometimes I would still have last years candy in my pumpkin bucket when the new Halloween came around. My kids aren't anything like that!

In my family we rarely got candy so this was a BIG treat and big Holiday. Here in metro MN., although you do get some trick or treaters, it is not encouraged to go house to house but here are many community activities and such to celebrate.Jane, at Thepaperaffairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01840614191337115268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8258502213462806373.post-46714448466689593702009-10-31T23:54:14.769-04:002009-10-31T23:54:14.769-04:00It is so very different.

I fear our wonderful holiday is a thing of the past, are less decorated houses year by year simply an economical coincidence or are there really less and less people involved year after year?? The mall was stuffed, the streets were empty, and no offense to mall trick-or-treaters but WHAT!!!?? You gotta go earn the loot, mom puts something together for you and you go and show it off and get candy. Am I old-fashioned or what... I hope you had a great Halloween regardless of the short run.<br />Stephannestephannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09914750431541367279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8258502213462806373.post-7259498009870660692009-10-31T22:10:21.460-04:002009-10-31T22:10:21.460-04:00Hi Carolyn, we just returned from our trick or tre...Hi Carolyn, we just returned from our trick or treat evening and my little one is fast asleep...exhausted! He had a fall festival at his school yesterday where he was able to wear his costume for a little while and today he had the option of going to another fall festival with a friend or trick or treat! He chose the latter because he has been over excited for a couple of weeks now...counting down the days until trick or treating. After an afternoon swimming and jumping into his grandma's pool, he was so eager to go..."is it time yet?" he kept asking!!! We walked about 10 blocks, his little pumpkin bucket was full and finally he was ready to call it a night. He did really well but was ready to go home. It was late for him!<br />I know here in Miami it's different trick or treating than what I remember from England but for us we are lucky to still see the excitement about this one night in our little ones eyes. <br />I hope you are feeling better and the boys too!<br />Big Halloween hugs, <br />Charlotte<br />XXXdesignsfromwithinbycharlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03383700726057288837noreply@blogger.com
