Last night I gave out candy at my home for the very first time in my 24 years of existence on Halloween. Growing up in rural Chatham County (aka outside the city limits of Siler City) we never had trick or treaters. We always had to go to family and friends houses to give or receive any. I can still remember helping Lindsay Brown every year starting in middle school because I wanted to hand it out so bad! Well last night I had my chance and guess what... I wasn't at all prepared! I had gotten three really big bags throughout the last month (I tried to catch it on sale). I thought I would have plenty but I guessed wrong! I almost ran out and only had 10 or so little pieces of bubble gum left.
Here are a few things I learned from last nights festivities...
1. Three bags of candy are not enough. There are a lot of children in our part of town!
2. Scream mask are not so scary has an adult.
3. Children can be greedy... therefore hold the tray far away from their little hands.
4. I must have little kid friendly candy next year. Six month olds cannot chew gum.
5. Andrea Melahn is a great cook... with microwavable dips.
6. I love hearing the magic words THANK YOU!

Hi Melissa! Aunt Rhonda sent me your blog. Just wanted to drop you a quick line and see how your school year was going!!
I handed out candy last year but didn't this year. I had teens coming to my door sans costumes demanding candy and Wal-Mart bags last year!
I did find out a good friend intended to bring her girls trick-or-treating at my house, so I'm sorry I missed that.
Talk to you later!
Angela
