Trick or Trick

Don is worse than I am when it comes to Halloween candy. Last year we had 24 costumed kiddies at the door and this year hubby buys two, yes, TWO 90 piece boxes of mini candy bars. We hand out two bars each so that means he's expecting 90 kids to appear at our door??? I think his sweet tooth interfered with his reasoning, not to mention his math skills.lol

Too bad we had to wake up to chip bags and candy wrappers strewn across the sidewalk in front off our house, a pop can sitting on top of our hedge and a hole in the middle of it. Looks like a big kid got pushed over onto the hedge. I'm all for turning off all our lights and putting the electric pumpkin in mothballs next year but I expect Don's sweet tooth with win out in the end and Halloween will progress as usual.

Fall Back
To top off the start of a bad day, we forgot to change our clocks and got up an hour early. Who is that moron who claims we get an extra hour of sleep in the fall? I want to punch him in the face. Apparently there is a petition going around to end Daylight Savings Time in BC. Where do I sign?

I've been in Delhi for 13 years and haven't seen a kid on the highway yet. Just not practical, I suppose, when the houses are so far apart. Much better to hit the businesses and houses in town. No problem: I don't need an excuse to buy snacks.

I did the same as Don! Except I bought 125 peices x @! For about 35 kids. Any kid that came to the door alone got a handful, poor kid

When it's cold in winter anyway, coming out of a meeting at 4 pm into the dark makes it seem all that much colder.

I hate the time changes too but I would prefer to stay on daylight savings as the standard. I like light in the afternoon and early evening. Don't much care if it stays dark in the morning.

I had only a few little stragglers but used up all the candy. Adrienne
and her friends came by, while waiting on one of the guys to get off
work. I dressed up like a witch which impressed the twins.

The kids woke up at 6am.
We don't get trick or treaters here which kind of makes me sad. I'm sorry you had a bad experience.
