Last night's statistics.

One couple with a toddler who won't remember anything. But he was very cute in his cat In The Hat costume.

4 teens, only one of which bothered with a costume. They were very pleasant and polite so it's fine.

2 sets of parents who left the kids in the car and came to the door for candy. I really should have told them to bugger off. If the kids are tired or cranky or not into it just take them home. Just the driving in this neighborhood is ridiculous. I live in a townhouse / row house community. My property is 20 feet wide. That's not a low number for effect. That is literally the measurement on the plat.

I really can't remember the last time we had a bunch of kids in cute costumes with friendly parents stop by the house on Halloween. It has never happened in 3 different neighborhoods over our 7 Halloweens in RVA. I think I'm done. Next year maybe we will go out for some adult fun. We could also go camping. Some the campgrounds in central VA have fairly elaborate Halloween celebrations.
