We were out trick-or-treating with Next To Youngest Son and he balked at going up to a certain house. When asked why he told us that a kid that rode on his bus lived there and that they have WILD CHICKENS and you shouldn't go to a house that has wild chickens. He ultimately went up to the door but kept a wary eye peeled.
This was our first Halloween in this neighborhood and we weren't prepared for the number of kids that came to the door. Youngest Daughter started handing out treats by throwing a hand-full of candy into each treater's bag. One of the mothers then helpfully told us that they have around 200 kids each year!
We had enough candy, barely, but now we'll be better prepared for next year. The places I lived before were somewhat isolated and we'd have only a handful of treaters each year so that's why we used to throw a handful of candy into each bag.
When we were out there had to be at least 10 cars parked at the end of our road and all of them were packed with kids coming to treat in our neighborhood! I better do some decorating next year!
