Halloween 2006, or; How to Keep 90% of the Candy You Bought



Got out of work early yesterday so we could take TheBoy around. This is the first year it's actually fun for him. He was running up to houses this time. In fact, the next few years will be the best for him. Not just Halloween, but just about every holiday. He's getting right into those magical little boy years, where everything is possible still.



His enthusiasm about saying Trick or Treat waned as we went on, until it was really just a mumble. Plus, as a bonus, I didn't have to carry him home this year. Although he was pretty tired after doing the block.

However, because we were out during the prime time for trick-or-treaters, when we got home, about 7 PM, we only got a very small handful of kids to the door. And most of them, were of the older variety. In fact, I think I only gave candy to two small kids all night. The last group of 12+ year olds, I gave fistfuls of candy to.

We have so much left over now. There are at least three bags unopened and the mass that's still in the bowl, that I have no idea what to do with. You can store chocolate in the attic with the Halloween decorations until next year, right?
