Is it just my area? Or is Halloween getting lame everywhere? So few people give out candy at home anymore. Designated trick or treat times....Curfews...We have opted for more organized things for our kids. The last couple of years it was harvest celebrations at church. This year we took the kids to a swanky shopping area for trick or treating. I figured they still get to dress up and get candy. I don't have to be so worried about the candy they bring home. WIN WIN.
Well lots of the places weren't giving out candy. OR they had "just run out". It was only an hour into it! One store "The backpacker" didn't have any candy. Instead they gave out stickers that said NORTH FACE on them. *SIGH* I know it probably sounds like I'm ungrateful here. But this was an organized event! The advertisements were sent out for the whole shopping center! How lame is it not to participate! It was a great opportunity for them to bring people in and make them want to come back to shop. Whatever dude. There were a few places that went all out and they were worth the walk.
OH and what happened to the chocolate? It's all plain candy! What's a girl got to do to get some chocolate in her kids Halloween bags? Not that I would swipe it or anything......Nothing like that!

hallowe'en is my bah! humbug! time. especially now that we're in a secure building---no cute kids.
Chocolate! What are these people thinking?!
Hmmm, that does sound super lame. I don't think it's like that in my neighborhood. We're not to the stage of taking our kid out trick or treating yet but we still had tons of kids come by, all dressed up, no curfew or specific times they could be out. AND, we gave goood candy. I only give out what I like so I can eat the leftovers (if there are any) and continue to get fat! ha! We gave out Reece's Peanut Butter Cups, Take 5, Almond Joy, Rollo's, Kit Kat, and a couple of other chocolates that were in the mix. YUM!
I hope next Halloween is better for you guys :O(
