Hallowe'en 2022

Y'all ready for the little goblins and ghouls to show up?

I don't decorate much anymore, but this weekend I will load up the trailer with all the inflatables and get it ready to haul out to the end of the driveway.

Can't see my house/garage from the road, and I am on a corner lot, on a road that is less than 100 yards long, but I am on the 'other end' from Main Street.

So, in order for the kids to know they can come down the street (roughly 200 feet), I have a 3x5 foot sign, bright white letters on a black background "TRICK OR TREAT HERE" and I have a multi-color LED that flashes on it.

Too few kids 'go' Trick or Treating anymore due to the huge numbers of "Truck Or Treat" (or Trunk or Treat) events, but some do.

We always give out HUGE handfuls of chocolate things and sugar-only things as well as just things.

This year, I got some of those little bags to fill up.

Got 40 'sets' of bags ready to go. Each kid will get 3 total

(1) 19 mini chocolate things (with and without nuts)
(1) 11 mini sugar only things
(1) bag of thing things: 1 box of poppers, 3 glow sticks, 1 fidget thing, 3 little bubble wand things, and there is something else that I can't remember right now.
  • My kids made out like bandits last night! We had approximately 400 pieces of candy at our doorstep and had a note for each kid to take 2 pieces (which we all know they don't always follow that rule). The last half hour (when we got back) we personally gave out 3 pieces each. Had about 30 pieces left.

    It was a good night and warm! I think when we started it was 58F. For Wisconsin, that is fantastic! I remember 2 years ago we were in winter jackets and it just snowed that morning.

    Hope all you had a great Halloween!
  • This year weather was perfect. 2 years ago in northern Michigan, we were out in a snow storm.
