I've had a few more kids show up & ring the doorbell here than
last year - I don't mind spending a few bucks on buying some
candy to pass out. The thing that annoys me, though, is when
you get a group of five kids & nine adults... I still hand the
adults something, but I give 'em a: "WTF is WRONG with you???"
kinda look lol.

Then the last group that showed up before I posted this was
three teenagers - two girls & a guy... the guy was dressed as
Peter Pan, and one of the girls was Tinkerbell, so they had
a theme going - the other girl; I dunno... maybe I don't recall
her character from the movie whatsoever - I couldn't tell who
she was dressing as. Point is, they got a coupla pieces
of "bonus candy" for their effort. lol

I think it's about tapered off as I type this... hasn't been a
doorbell ring in about 20-30 minutes. Halloween '07 could be
history in my neighborhood.

My favorites are the stoner teenagers who show up . . . minimal or no
costume, don't say a word, just hold out their candy bags. I just say,
"Yes? Can I help you?" It's apparently quite painful for them to say,
"Trick or treat." Fun to watch.

That would be Wendy. My daughter was "Wendy" for halloween
last year and NO ONE knew who she was...

I bought candy and no one came.

Thats one of my gripes as well... I do the same thing.
At least know the protocol and say "trick or treat".
How hard is it?
Then a "Thank you" is always appreciated.

Where I live you don't answer your door unless you know someone is coming
in advance, or of the person knocking has a warrant. Different part of the
world I guess.

This is the first time I've been at home for Halloween in years, so I figured
I'd do the candy thins.

I got two bags of candy, and when the kids slowed to a trickle it looked
like I was going to have a lot left over, so I started giving what looked
like the last few stragglers multiple pieces. (I also managed to eat devour
the contents of all these little 3-packs of Sweetarts myself...) Imagine
my surprise when about an hour later it started picking up again -- bigger
kids. I soon ran out of candy.

I did manage to take pictures of nearly every kid who came to the door. Some
of them are pretty nice.

I also discovered that tracking vocals and giving out candy are not things
that can be easily done simultaneously.
