So.... this was our first Halloween in our new house. Our first Halloween where we weren't renting an apartment in a kid-unfriendly zone. It was a total bust. We don't live in a squeaky clean neighborhood, but it's not Cabrini Green, either. We stocked up with lots of quality candy to meet the demand and cleared our early evening schedules to field the hoards of cute ghouls and goblins.
All in all, we got three groups of trick-or-treaters for a total of about six kids. No awesome handmade costumes. We did redeem ourselves later at a couple of great parties, a haunted house and a midnight trip to the not-to-be missed Arcata square to see the minions swarming on the William McKinley statue and humping it into submission.
If this adorable Dwight Schrute had visited us, I think he would've gotten the remaining four bags of candy.
