Quoted:
Maybe 60 altogether in Goodyear. Halloween isn't what it use to be when I was a kid. Maybe it's just Phoenix/AZ. People worried about offending the mexicans with the whole Day of the Dead vs. Halloween. I dressed up as a Legal Immigrant this year for every Halloween party we went to. Sombrero, big fake black mustache, and a shirt that said "Viva la Austria". I told everyone I just swam across the Rhine and was looking forward to my new exciting life as a Homeland Terrorist. |
| I took my kids out trick or treating in El Mirage. I would have to say that there were on average 4 houses giving out candy on each street we went on. There weren't very many trick or treaters out either Either way I had a blast with my wife and kids. And as usual I found my pumpkin smashed to bits in my front yard at 11pm. |

I didn't get home from work until about 8pm, so the human wave assaults were over by then. Had a large group of kids come by around 8:30 and I was handing out handfulls to each kid. Ended up with 3 bags left, two of which I'll take in to work (the 'crunch' bars are all mine!). On another note, what's up with parents carrying their infant around door-to-door, holding a small bag / bucket to get the kid's candy? I always give, but WTF? Are these parents actually giving their infants all that candy to eat??

Yep, that't it! We always dress up our tiny ones, mostly 'cause they're just so dang cute! Plus I get all the candy - muwahahaha! *sigh* Bear, don't be so angry. Eat some candy and you'll feel better. |

Big factor was it was a Sunday. our 'hood was not passing out as much candy as in years past. Some kids went out on Saturday, instead. It was also a school night. If you are friends with me on facebook go look at my Halloween Album. There was a back yard that was a AWESOME carnival. No expense was spared, it was amazing! |
