Ours loved Veggie Tales too.
A neighbor reckons 400 pieces of candy should see us through….what have we done?
Moved out of the damn city.

The mean streets of Foxborough?
Actually we’re right on the edge here - we’re in a development, but 3/4 a mile away it’s farms and apple orchards. A good decision, I think.

Not really celebrating Halloween this year and did not put up any decoration. That's usually a clear signal to tell tricker-of-treaters that we're not doing Halloween this time. Still, the door bell rang, and four very cute pre-schoolers showed up with costumes (their guardians watched from the curb). Despite not really participating in Halloween this year, we have a metal tin full of candies prepared "just in case," so the little ones left with candies. The kids in this area are generally well mannered and usually stick to the "one candy" rule, and these pre-schoolers were no exception. I told them they can take two each, and that seems to have made them very happy.

We ended up at 63. More than usual. Next year we will be ready for 75 to be safe.
Our official count was 48, yet we ran out of the 60 full sized candy bars and candy we bought… Hmmmm…

We had a perfect night, even for Minnesota standards. Temps around 60, no wind, beautiful half moon in the sky. Kids had a blast going door to door, and had even more fun back home handing out candy. We had a firepit, a half dozen carved pumpkins, my speaker on with halloween music, and I bought a 24-pack of small flickering LED tea light candles to line the walkway to the porch.

@Mik Oh to answer the thread question, since we're still in the "take kids early" mode, we aren't home for the main wave of kids, but neighbors said the foot traffic was a tad lighter this year. Maybe 50-60 visits. We have an unopened 150-piece bag of candy from costco we'll be returning.
