96 ropes of Laffy Taffy from Sam’s Club
minus 76 regular (one serving) trick-or-treaters
minus 4 (double serving) trick-or-treaters
minus Lloyd and Lauren each eating one
equals 10 left over.
Yet I only have nine.
Hmmmm……
Halloween is over and done. I was exhausted by 8:30 and was ready for bed by 9.
Best moment of the night – A 3-year-old vampire (a stranger, not one of mine) walked right in and helped himself from the candy bucket then gave my leg a grateful hug.
Best line of the night – Army man and (an older) vampire got their treats, turned around, and as I closed the door Army man said in wonder, “Is this a sugar stick?”
Yes, Army man. They are all sugar sticks.
Saddest moment of the night: Older sister, dressed as an impressive box of Froot Loops, arrived with her 3-year-old bunny sister and they got their treats. Froot Loops walked away, bunny stayed and told me resignedly, “I’m just a bunny.” People must have really been commenting on the cereal box costume.
Brad says
Haha! I love the quote!
I got Laffy Taffy, too! It’s only a 35-count box, though. I had no visitors. What am I going to do with all those sugar sticks?
Kristi says
I thought you had those dippin’ stick thingies. Did you eat them all since last Halloween?
Lloyd says
They were discovered in the basement after the purchase of the laughing toffee.
Beth says
I’m honored that Tara and Tim were double serving trick-or-treaters.
Tim ate his sugar stick promptly. And then almost fell asleep in the car on the drive to David dorm. What is that, 9 blocks? 😀
Peggy says
Awwww….I can just invision the leg hugger. How sweet!
I only had about 20 guests. I let them pick what they wanted from the basket…I told them to take a few. My best line of the night was when one kid said, ‘Hmmmm…Snickers!!!” He picked it up & then said, “Oooooo….it’s a Milky Way!” He threw it back in the basket & then took a box of Nerds & Sweet Tarts.
Lauren says
Milky Ways are far superior to Snickers, in my humble opinion.
Deanne says
Anything with chocolate is far superior to anything else, in my opinion.
Lauren's mom says
I had six ZipLoc bags prepared. In each was a Milk chocolate lollipop with a spider on it, a balloon with a happy face, a package of fruit snacks, a Reeses, a KitKat and a Snickers. Then I had a bowl of assorted snacks ready.
I had TWO trick-or-treaters come to my door. So now Dad will get fat on treats.
Lauren, remember when we were on Grand Avenue and had a steady stream of little (and big) people until we ran out of candy and had to shut the light off?
Lauren says
Yes, those were the days!
Did I ever tell you that I got a card from Kimba Ashworth a few years ago? She was remembering the Halloween where we were robbed and they got her candy but I hung on to mine…. and had to share. Grrrrrr…. candy thieves…..
