I only had 5 kids show up at my house which is VERY odd as live about a block away from a k-4 school. Last time I put in the manson contacts though, I made a little girl cry

My wife made me do the mall thing (INSANE) and then outside. I get the outside bit but the mall is so gay for halloween.

We had maybe 25 at our townhouse. I think kids were bypassing the complex.

My daughter has a nazi father and def said please and thank-you at every stop. Even the last 10 or so which I had to CARRY her too. The back is sore today.

We had about 20 kids. Had to work later in the night, so I thought we try something and left a stack of candy out with a sighn to help themselves but save some for others.

We were quite amused by the the result, we expected one kid to clean us out, but that didn't happen. More than anything, they were paranoid that someone was going to jump out on them, was funny as hell watching them looking over their shoulders.

I lost count, but I know it was over 400. This neighborhood always get lots of trick or treaters. The adult trick or treaters with pillow cases so full they can hardly carry it is what makes me upset. Sereral kids without any costumes and pillow cases full of candy too. About 50 /50 on the thank you's.

Yeah, steady stream and plus they started coming at 3:30 in the afternoon. That is crazy, they should wait till at least 5 or 5:30 IMO. I finally shut my lights off at 8:30, but there were still plenty of kids out there.
