bubble treats


Trick or treat in the bubble was pretty light. We had about 30 kids. that is it! I think we have 3 pounds of candy left over... The boys got one of the pumpkins and pulled it down the front porch steps. 4:00 in the morning we woke to the dog gagging on pumpkin. Luckily TBW got up to clean it up. I just lent morale support with the pillow over my head! he he... I really missed having the other two D's here with me.


I loved trick or treat night when I was a little girl. We would eat dinner early and be ready to go as soon as it got dark. We started at one tip of the neighborhood and didn't stop until we went to every house. It usually took the full two hours. Our first stop was always Mr. S across the street. He gave the full sized candy bars. Early stoppers got the pick of the basket. I hated it when people had the nerve to not be home. We eagerly went through the stash once we got home. Sorting, trading and eating... The next day, someone always took my bag and put it with my sister's. At least I had the one night where it was all mine!


Wonder whats the dealeo on trick or treating in the bubble. Is it that the kids don't want to walk around just for a miniture sized snickers? Their parent's won't let them have candy? They can't put down the xbox remote? Who knows. It sure was not like the old days!
