Early turnout: in one hour and three minutes of trick-or-treating, we’ve had six children call at our door, already matching our 2015 total (over three-and-a-half hours).
Twelve Reese’s Cups gone, twenty-eight to go. One hour and fifty-seven minutes to go.
*
Three more children. And that’s all. Anyone want a Reese’s Cup?

We gave up this year for the first time and didn't answer the door. Instead we put a bowl of candy on the top step next to our Jack o'lantern and filled it again when it emptied out. Eventually all of the candy disappeared, whether piece by piece or by the handful we don't know. Our dog's barks gave us a rough idea of how many kids we had.

Thanks, Anon.
As expected, given the warm weather, we had more visitors than in most years: I think about 25 individual kids in about 10 groups. I ran out of candy around 8:15 p.m.
I had one bag each of Tootsie Roll Pops and Hershey bars, and generally said "take two," except near the end when there was a clot of around eight preteens and I wasn't sure there would be enough left for them to each take two.
I kept wondering if we should give three, but I was afraid that we’d run out. No such luck.
Did you know that the old Tootsie Pop commercial (with the owl) is still running?
I had half a bag of Reeses left and I was ready to go in,
so I gave the entire half-bag to the last kid—a little boy about seven or eight in a Star Wars costume.
Was he ever happy!
Lucky guy!
