I had my standard (a decade long?) Halloween decorations up - a single scarecrow wired to the railing. This time, admittedly, I added a white mask in a window my daughter had for some English project with a couple blinking "eyes" courtesy of freebee ancient Fairfax County Fair handouts (some sort of bicyclist light thingees).

However, in our steel bowl waiting for anyone, even the totally uncostumed loser teenyboppers, were full-sized Milky Ways, Snickers, run-of-the-mill bags of MnMs and more. They were appreciated (indeed, one kid came close to having to be sedated after his amazing (yet totally satisfying) response to seeing the bowl).

Unfortunately, we had WAY fewer visitors than we were expecting, probably due to the rain (he says), so have massive leftovers. Today, for no particularly good reason, my wife invited over 479 brothers, sisters, and her Dear Ol' Ma who ALL also appreciated them, so the pile is beginning (just beginning) to deplete...

I think I'm going to go grab a Snickers now.

Yesterday we sold our leftovers to one of our local dentists. My kids made $4 each ($1 per pound), and the candy is being sent to troops overseas.
