We had so many 5-yr old meltdowns that morning that I thought we were going to have to keep one kid home, but we made it out in the end! We go out with friends just one neighborhood over who have to buy 1000 pieces of candy, they get so many trick-or-treaters!

Deana, thanks so much for that link! They're all worthy charities, but I can't resist The Ronald McDonald House. Katy, holy ghost, 200 trick-or-treaters? Did your arm get tired?! We had fewer than usual this year because it was rainy.

As usual. <br />I was too scared of the Swine Flu to even do Halloween! I made up little white bags that I filled up with candy and a note from Gavin and Brian. The note said "Sorry we'll miss you Halloween Night! See you next year!" with pictures of the boys in their costumes. The swine flu did not knock on our door all night. So I have no leftover candy as I distributed it to the mailboxes of about 40 kids in the 'hood.<br />Hey, remember the day that I used to write a comment about every single blog entry? Ah, those were the days. I still read - every single day!!! - it's just been so busy around here.<br />Love ya, Ellen!<br />xo<br />kate.kate.http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/gavinleongnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-31458481990373427942009-11-02T09:14:55.403-05:002009-11-02T09:14:55.403-05:00Off topic -- but I love the look of your neighbour...Off topic -- but I love the look of your neighbourhood.
