Trick or Treat!

Yesterday was our first Halloween in our house! I was so excited, I bought four bags of candy last week, I had some fantabulous coupons for candy at Target! I put everything in one of our crystal bowls (mostly because it was the biggest bowl that we had), and also set up a smaller bowl with various nonedible Halloween goodies left over from my class party.

I set the bowls up on our TV tray and put it next to the door. We tidied up a bit in the kitchen, dining room and living room. I was wearing my pumpkin shirt, I put Roxie's Halloween bandanna on her (we got it from the groomer at her last appointment), put her in her leash and harness, and we were ready for business!

Unfortunately, we had a total of about ten children come to our house. Two of the kids were my preschool students. They wanted to come meet Roxie, which I knew and had provided their parents with directions to the house. They both enjoyed meeting her, although they weren't quite sure what they were supposed to say when I opened the door!

We also had our old neighbors come by with their little one. He was so cute in his costume! Well, they all were. Not too many houses on our street had lights on, which was probably why we didn't have many trick or treaters. So now we have a bunch of candy left. Oh well, David and I decided that I'll take it to work, get rid of it that way.

Maybe we'll have more trick or treaters next year!
