On the home front, Jerry ran out of candy after about an hour!! And I really thought we had overstocked. I had even bought an extra 95-piece bag on top of what Jerry thought was enough! After running out of the candy we bought he started giving out the candy from the Halloween parade. (Side note to Grandma - before you cry injustice, Will didn't like most of that candy anyway and wasn't upset!) We can't count exactly because I don't know how many Mallo Cups were in the four bags we bought or how many Smarties were in that big bag, but conservatively we must have had over 400 kids in that time. Even after Jerry turned out the light kids were still coming! He had to put up a sign and turn off all the lights in the living room! He was sitting in the dark when Will and I got home!
I'm not big on all the Halloween decorating and the general big production that it's become, but I do enjoy the excitement of kids dressing up and getting all the candy they can handle one night a year! It's just fun! It's nice too because Will seems to be growing out of most of his fears this year so the costumes and decorations don't really bother him anymore.

| Will isn't much into the dressing up. He's more into the candy! He couldn't decide what he wanted to be this year so he settled on Daddy's suggestion of a ghost. This was my best effort with my sewing machine and other supplies in the storage unit! |

| Will got some candy that matched his costume! : ) |

| His candy haul! All this even after quitting before we even made the loop back to the car! He said he was hot and his feet were tired! : ) But then he did run through the entire neighborhood! |
