Turnout

It’s turned into a hectic day, thus the lack of posts.  I did want to remark about how Halloween went.  It’s our first year here, and an apartment building, so I had no idea how many kids would show, if any.  Figured we’d get some nieces and nephews, but ironically that’s who we didn’t get.

I had a full grocery bag of small candy bars of many varieties.  We had around 16 total kids show, so got rid of maybe half the bag.  There were some cute costumes!  This is probably the most I’ve ever gotten trick-or-treating anywhere I’ve lived.

When I lived in Quincy, kids didn’t go into the apartment buildings to speak of.  My nephews would go out in that neighborhood, so I’d get word of mouth on the street that I was open for business, but never anything like the turnout here.  Despite the fact that they had to go to the back door, and even lit up, it’s not lit impressively.  Turns out the lady on the first floor happily gives out candy, and she was sending them up to me too, but apparently word was out that the gal on the third floor was not playing.

Now that I know the first floor people like Halloween and the kids don’t automatically stay away because it’s apartments, next year should be fun.  Maybe Sadie can dress up next year and at least help us hand out candy.  She was all excited that there were kids coming to the door.

1. Julia made a beeline for the door everytime the bell rang at my parents house...and happily laughed at all of the kids in their costumes.  We went out with Emily and Katherine, but I ended up heading back early with Katherine, who was complaining that she was thirsty and tired.  We walked back to my parents house, she had a drink, and promptly fell asleep on my sister’s bed.  Heh.
