And I realized that I've NEVER given out king sized candy bars. I mean, we would tuck a couple large bars away for the neighbors' kids, but that's all. I guess the money thing is a legitimate concern since we drop a lot of money on pumpkins and cornstalks and supplies every year...<br /><br />I always give out what I liked getting as a kid...non-chocolate stuff... fruity candy, like Dots and taffy and twizzlers and spree and smarties... I LOVED getting those to offset the chocolate.<br />Rothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11329750481399948095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784285653010648547.post-10142996222767332462012-10-23T11:20:04.349-04:002012-10-23T11:20:04.349-04:00...I hadn't been checking the weather, but I h......I hadn't been checking the weather, but I have been checking the blog like a nervous ferret! lol, trying to cram in all the Halloween I can! <br /><br />Our weather is looking like rain now.

The entire week of Halloween was without power in our neighborhood. Trees down everywhere. Our town actually officially cancelled Halloween. I know we weren't the only ones. I'm sure other haunters were the same or worse.<br /><br />No matter, I'll keep moving ahead and whatever happens happens...<br /><br />Meh there's always Walpurgis Night 2013, man how I wish THAT holiday would gain popularity in this country. I mean seriously? If they can do that OTHER holiday in July, why can't we have a Halloween equivalent in April?
