Halloween 2009…
was alot of fun. It didn’t seem like we had alot of trick or treaters in our neighborhood this year. Sean stayed home since he wasn’t feeling well and he said we got about 10 groups of T or T’ers all night. And while we were walking around, I’d have to say maybe every 3rd or 4th house had their front porch light on saying they were giving out candy. Normally our neighborhood is packed! The subdivision not far from us always drops their kids off at the front of ours and lets them walk around. This year there was next to no one. Not sure if it was because Halloween fell on a Saturday so alot of families were at parties, or if it was the heat (it was 90 degrees out), or because there were games on (football and the World Series – GO YANKEES!!!) or if maybe the Swine Flu scared everyone away. It just seems every year, the amount of trick or treaters and the amount of people giving out candy is slowly dwindling down 
We had fun nonetheless. We met up with friends of ours down the street (Caelie is friends and soccer teammates with their daughter) and then our next door neighbor and his son joined up with us about halfway through. I even dressed up as well – as a soccer referee – figure I’m a ref everyday anyway right?
Kieran was Bumble Bee, Caelie was a Ninja and Tristan was Frankenstein.

Love it!! We were with Jamie and Mike across the way. Gave our our candy over there. We were out most of the night though, so I don’t know how many kids there were. Seemed to be a lot out. But of course, ours was Friday night and it was beautiful. I had most of my 300 pieces of chocolate left! Bag most of it and send off with Kevin’s office

We didn’t have a lot of people either, and my Mom said that their neighborhood was pretty dead for T-or-Ting. (dead, haha!) Since I was here with sickly Roo I was handing out the candy, and one bag of Snickers did it for us.

We had about ten kids (not groups) until 10 p.m. when a bunch of mostly uncostumed teenagers came to the door (that always gets my goat– if you want candy, make the effort to dress up already). We never get too many trick-or-treaters, though. We’re on a busy thoroughfare and I think people like their kids to stick to the side streets.
Love the Frankenstein’s monster costume.
