We had a couple of dozen trick or treaters last night.  I’m sure glad we had plenty of goodies to pass out!  I like to buy little party-favor type toys to pass out instead of candy.  The kids seem to get a real kick out of them, and I like to think that the parents appreciate the fact that the kids are getting less sugar, but still a nice little treat.

I was quite surprised this morning when we went outside to get the newspaper from the box and saw that the next door neighbor’s car had been egged and his house “rolled” with toilet paper!  I guess the kids didn’t like the fact that they KNEW the neighbor was home but had his front porch light off and wouldn’t answer the door when they went knocking.  It’s too bad, too, because the neighbor is nice enough; just having financial troubles and couldn’t afford to get the kids treats this year.  I’m going to try to go over and help clean up the mess when it warms up a little bit more.
