Treats

I did something different today. I made treats for
the people who we were going to see tonight,
those few houses that we go to for my kids to show their
costumed selves to and have that little experience.
I made those cream cheese pumpkin muffins
and put them in little pumpkin bags
and Lovely K made to/from cards for them.
So when the people would open their doors,
my kids would say "Trick or treat!" like normal,
and then who ever's turn it was to deliver the muffin bag
would say "And here's a little treat for you."

It wasn't a big deal, but everyone seemed really
surprised by it. I guess that just doesn't happen often.
I've never had a child trick-or-treat at my door
and give me anything.
Have you?

But it's not like we go door to door in every
neighborhood in town. We go to
just a handful of houses:
my brother, two of my uncles,
Mr. & Mrs. Popsicle and my parents.
But that is plenty.
We have enough candy
to last us until next Halloween.
