FIRST HALLOWEEN

This was the first Halloween my husband and I had together in a house, so it was the first time we had trick-or-treaters. Every time the doorbell rang, we ran up to answer the door with a bowl full of candy.

Being novice treaters, we doled out a handful of candy to every kid that rang. Predictably, we nearly ran out of candy shortly thereafter and had to make another candy run. Now we have enough candy to choke a horse!



Our only decoration, besides a skull, because we shopped too late. :(


Hubby put on a demon mask with the hope of scaring some kids, but nobody was scared. At 6'6" and 340 pounds, he was a pretty scary sight. But most kids just laughed, except one little sheep-costumed girl. She was about 5 or 6. Her father had to bring her up the stairs to get candy. She was so cute.
