Sounds like fun, ponytail.
Here, our town does a parade with children/parents but we don't do this anmymore. They just walk around some blocks and get some candy at the end.
We had our bowl of candy ready, or I should say my husband bought several bags of his favorites: kitKat, reeses, hershey bars ...all chocolate. We had 3... yup, only 3 children ring our bell.
But, we've never had many because we are on a dead end street.
Many years I wasn't even home, but, hubby and I had to laugh.... it was about 4 and the bell RANG. We look at each other and say.... PEOPLE!!!!
Earlier Ava and Liam came over with Bobby and dil. They stayed about a half hour...too much to do, places to go.
But, that was ok.
So, another Oct gone and next weekend we change the clocks for winter. Boy is time flying.
