Hallowe'en & Autumn photos

One of the pumpkins on my porch.

Hallowe'en was rainy and windy this year, but in spite of that I had a great turnout of trick-or-treaters come to my door. I spent part of the afternoon carving 3 pumpkins to put on the porch. The first kid came to my house at 5:00. Expecting a poor turnout, at first I gave out 2 candy bars to each kid. By 7:00 I was starting to run out of candy and only gave out one piece to each kid until I ran out at 7:30, after 64 kids had come to the door. This years treats were: Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Kit Kat bars, 100 Grand bars, Milk Duds and Butterfingers. I actually had one Reese's left at 7:30, but Mark claimed that. The best costume that I saw was worn by one of the fathers: he had heavy stubble on his face (I couldn't tell if it was real or makeup) and wore a woman's wig ~he was dressed as a bearded lady from the circus. lol
