And you go through a ton of candy!<br /><br />This year we're in Germany and most europeans do not celebrate Halloween, so we drove to post for trick or treating. I'd say 75% of the houses did not offer anything. My daughter got plenty, but she had to get in a lot of exercise for it, lol!<br /><br />What bothered me this year was the doorbell thing. Not rung once. But repeatedly and quickly. Or SITTING on the thing. We got home rather late and the German kids, who were not even dressed up!, were ringing the American houses looking for free candy. Not cool. Don't show up late, without a costume and rudely ring my doorbell. You aren't going to get anything you will want that way!!Queenie Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13372885558434883470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-61567484600632213912012-11-01T18:59:50.909-06:002012-11-01T18:59:50.909-06:00That note is funny.

Kids were taking reasonable amounts of candy. Til the last kids of the night. My husband said I bet you there is no candy left. That was mischievous laughter. Sure enough, some punk kids emptied our bowl. And there were Snickers in there that I was planning one eating later Grr. Still won't stop me from passing out candy though.

I've noticed to happening more and more over the 14 years of taking my kids out. It wasn't very fun! I think looking forward, we will stick to Trunk or Treating and Halloween parties.

That way she gets to be here for the festivities and see the kids in their costumes - AND stay at the house to hand out candy while Curtis and I take the kids trick-or-treating. It's a win-win situation. :)Rita Templetonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10332325707063104082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-77840297117096373992012-11-01T07:58:18.162-06:002012-11-01T07:58:18.162-06:00Good luck to one of their friends genuinely trying...Good luck to one of their friends genuinely trying to visit them, ringing and ringing and ringing their doorbell....Aoife.Troxelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08557613486797904602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-6778197997746043282012-11-01T07:33:14.401-06:002012-11-01T07:33:14.401-06:00Wow it is rude especially the note left!
