I'm craving Halloween candy. I should have bought some even though we get no tricker-treaters.

We haven’t had trick or treaters for years. The neighborhood kids all go to town for it. Despite that, DH asked if I had any candy “just in case”. So I stopped and bought a bag of Snickers on my way home today. They’re his favorite. He couldn’t possibly have had that in mind when he asked, could he? I should have bought Reese’s peanut butter cups instead. He can’t stand those.

I had a lot more than I thought I would with it being so cold and the trunk or treat going on. Probably around 30 or so kids.

Trick or treaters don't bother with our block, too dark . They head for the school for their candy and entertainment there. But it was raining and snowing at intervals, I wouldn't have gone out unless they were passing out ice cream.

Houses in our neighborhood are just too far apart - the walking to treat ratio is much better in town.
