Yes, the jack-o-lantern at left says “VOTE OR DIE.” All credit to Becky on that — indeed, on both of our awesome jack-o-lanterns.
Anyway, here are some shots of trick-or-treaters coming to our door. Between 5:00 PM and roughly 7:45 PM, we gave away more than 1,100 pieces of candy. And we could have given away several hundred more, if we hadn’t run out.
Granted, there was a period, toward the middle of the evening, when we got overconfident in our candy supply, and started giving away two pieces per kid instead of one for a while. But even if we’d stuck to one piece per person all night, Halloween is easily a 1,200+ piece of candy sort of event in our neighborhood, if you want to avoid running out. Nuts!

Much like my bandwagon fan costume last year, it was a real stretch. 🙂
