Greg Won

Greg and I had a bet, well, we weren’t betting anything, but we do silly things like that. He bet that we would have over 20 trick or treat er’s this year, but I said under 20. By 8:30pm, it was at 17 and I was doing a happy dance. We were standing outside and then I looked down the street and said, “OH NO!” A group of kids about 7 of them were heading our way! Greg won. Final count of kids ~ 24

As the kids were coming to our door, Greg took pictures of them and said, “We’re going to put these pictures on a poster next year and title it, ‘These are the kids we ate last year.’” Which will make it cute for the kids to see their outfits from the previous year. The parents thought it was great.

Greg is already coming up with ideas on how to make it a really cool Halloween next year with a Haunted House! He said, “This is a great neighborhood. People are outside with candy. One guy is on his porch handing out Satsumas (they are like oranges, but smaller and sweeter and easier to peel) and another house has strobe lights and fog coming out. There's even a block party two streets down where there are lights connecting each house and rows of tables with food."

I’ve always liked this neighborhood; it’s friendly, quiet, but active with children and that makes it fun! Hope everyone had a great Halloween!
