We had many trick-or-treaters last night, shattering previous records. We kept track of costumes: bear, turtle, vet, Joy (from Inside Out ), just a kid (no costume), lizard, princess, T. Rex skeleton, witch, cheerleader. And then a group of ten teenagers arrived, by which point Elaine was off playing in a pit (orchestra, not snake) and I wasn’t about to inventory ten costumes in the dark.
Number of trick-or-treaters, number of treats, number of leftovers:
2022: 9, 18, 22 (Reese’s Cups)Some of the younger visitors this year took just one item from the plastic pumpkin. Maybe they were following orders that had been given in advance.
2023: 6, 14, 22 (Milky Way)
2024: 20, 31, 19 (Milky Way, Three Musketeers)
I assume no visitor was costumed as Nancy, as you didn't offer any garlic-flavored treat.
ReplyDeleteNo garlic. :) It would have been helpful if a vampire had shown up.
ReplyDeleteI was going to say what Tororo said!
ReplyDeleteI like "just a kid".
That kid might have been inspired by Japan’s mundane Halloween costumes. Or not. :)
ReplyDeleteLOL, I love those mundane costumes--hadn't seen them. The kid was going as "kid who can't be bothered with a Halloween costume".
DeleteYes!
