Halloween 2015

This year's haul: 404.5.

Completely Random Observations:

• Kids took home four "Take Fives," their fave.
• Aubrie likes the original Almond Joy wrapper better. (Yes, this was what she told me to write when I asked for her observation.)
• I've never seen so many golf carts zooming around. Ginger and I thought: "Rex Eckert would love living here"
• Looking back at Homewood trick or treating, there was an absence of Smarties, Dots and Charleston Chews. #1 candy in 2012 was Suckers. #1 candy in 2015 was Twix. You know where the kids liked getting their treats! 

Cute pic of them with their stacks of candy forthcoming.

625

Aidan the Jedi Knight and Aubrie the cowgirl force tricked and lassoed a combined total of 625 pieces of candy from unsuspecting folks in Homewood during Halloween tonight. This destroyed their previous high of 450 set in 2009.

We walked the neighborhood with Aidan's and Aubrie's friends, Sam and Suzie, as well as David, Andrew, Maurissa and Allison. While everyone but the Li's left halfway through the evening, Aidan and Aubrie powered all the way to the end -- two and a half hours in total.

Their desire for free sweets never wavered as even at the last house, they ran to the door.

Ginger and I were delighted to hear them be somewhat socially gracious, saying "hello" and "thank you" and even responding to strangers' greetings.
