I was looking very cute. I saved the costume for my daughter, but she would have no parts of it. My favorite treat was a candy bar. We would trade amongst us so we could get the ones we liked. And yes, we raid our kids candy bag!

Then we pick our favorites while they are sleeping. As they got older, they caught on and only let us examine it if they are watching and counting. How many give out the yucky candy that you collect? We do the neighborhood, go thru the candy, pick out the good stuff and give out the yucky stuff. OK, I know, but what is one man's garbage is another's find or something like that. Glad Ava is feeling better. And boooo to the child who was fearful of the costume you made.SassySamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8275604737565419913.post-58353036847390110892010-10-29T09:49:12.790-04:002010-10-29T09:49:12.790-04:00We have a parade here and the kids go to the fire ...We have a parade here and the kids go to the fire house for a party...no trick or treating in the neighborhoods. There was an accident where a child got hit by a car and ended up in the hospital, so the community decided to go this route. I have to admit, I kind of miss walking around the neighborhood and talking to everyone while the kids run from house to house.Lorinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8275604737565419913.post-58831147317427702082010-10-28T23:40:16.129-04:002010-10-28T23:40:16.129-04:00I agree, Jen.

Those were the days. Now we go to the neighbors we know and my wife and I get very little candy!

Now we go with our children, only go to homes where the people are known to us. Our kids make their costumes. They get together with other kids and figure it out. It's fun for them and keeps them thinking.Jennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8275604737565419913.post-70858005176710934642010-10-28T20:31:14.443-04:002010-10-28T20:31:14.443-04:00I was always a ghost.
