I always wait until the actual day of Halloween to get the treats for the trick-or-treaters. Some years, I've been called to go out and tell ghost stories though this year it was the week before. Last year, I worked at the Methodist Halloween party and wasn't home to hand out candy. One thing is certain, I don't want candy left.
Today, at noon, Gary and I went to the Family Dollar where I found some really cool eyeball gum. I figured the kids would love that and two eyes per treat bag would be right. I calculated how many children we could expect considering that we were going to leave a little after 5:00 pm to go to Sissy's for the Boo Buffet.
The children started to arrive here at just before 4:00 and I began to realize I was going to run short of those eyeballs. I started to recalculate and it didn't work out.
Then Gary confessed all. He had nabbed about ten of them.
After sixty trick or treaters, I ran out of candy. We left for the buffet a little early. A shame because those munchkins loved the idea of eyeballs staring at them out of their trick-or-treat bags.
At Sissy's we had chili, nachos and hot dogs at the buffet and got a trick-or-treat bag though in the end, I left mine behind because the Boo Buffet was very successful and I didn't want to leave Donna and Pat short. I came home and asked Gary about his bag...but everything in it was gone.
Oh well, there's still the Snickers bars from Evan.
