I didn't see any of the kids really. My mom handed out the candy, and only held the door open 2 inches. She kept making comments. A teenage boy came to the house wearing a sleeveless dress.

Over three years ago, we moved to a very rural town, and to the outskirts of that town at best. We've had four Halloweens here. Year 1, we stayed here to trick-or-treat and it was awful. Because we're in the sticks, our side streets have ZERO street lights. Hardly any houses had their lights on and we did terribly, so I hopped into the car and went to our old neighborhood 30 minutes away to finish off the night.

Last year and the year before, we skipped our town alltogether and headed to our old city again.

This year, I decided to stay home since Halloween fell on a Saturday. I figured we'd get way more people. We decorated, carved pumpkins and played spooky music out of the open front windows. The kids went with my husband while I stayed home. I think we got a total of 5 separate door knocks, with maybe a total of 15 kids.

I'm taking the candy to work tomorrow. Ugh!

I was very excited last night to have about 30 kids, some years we only have a couple , had over 100 one year and I had to run to store to get more, (after taking the candy away from my kids they wouldn't have eaten)...we just never know from year to year how much candy to buy!
