Last year trick-or-treaters overwhelmed us. There were kids and parents everywhere. We ran out of candy at 8 o’clock. This year it is now 7 PM and we have had only 3 kids come. Maybe it’s because it’s a Saturday—who knows? There is still time for things to pick up….and as I type 4 more kids showed up. One was a 2-year-old, about Sophie’s age, who got upset when her older brother stepped up and said “trick or treat.” And got candy. She softly whined that she wanted some. Her mother to asked her “what do you say?” She meekly said “Trick or treat”. She got her candy.
It’s always a problem deciding how much candy to give to each kid, especially the first ones. You don’t want to have a lot left. You don’t want to run out and you have no idea about how many kids will show.
Penny and I celebrate the 40th anniversary of our first date today. Well, we didn’t really celebrate. We just noted the occasion in conversation. Yes it was on Halloween. Scary, isn’t it?
Kitty Update—the outside kitties have not shown for 2 nights now. I saw Marmalade and Velcro 3 nights ago. The food is disappearing from the feeder at the normal rate so I assume the cats are eating.
