I love handing out candy, and I love going out with the nieces.
Last year we had 108 children. This year we had 125 - and not only did I not go outside until after they'd been coming by already (more about that later), but we're going to get another 5 - 10 stragglers before I turn off the light! Three of the kids were friends of Ana's from school - twins and their kid brother. I duly called them all by the wrong names and told them I'd tell Ana hi for them - why calling them the wrong names is funny I don't know, but it just is and they request it of me every time I see them.
Thank goodness I bought the Halloween bags of pretzels or I wouldn't have had enough! (And this is *with* not giving candy to those with no costume and no story to explain their lack of costume, either. Though I give pass to teens singlehandedly chaperoning a gaggle of little ones if they're polite about it. Their costume for the night is "responsible adult", and I don't begrudge them a little candy in exchange for giving up their night.)
