Oh I know! Out old house was surrounded by trees and old folks. And while that was nice 364 days of the year, on Halloween it blew!
I started switching out the porch light for a bright red bulb and hanging glowsticks in the trees to let the kids know that candy was happening at the Katerly house.
Thankfully we eventually got a reputation as the house that gave out handfuls so we always had a lot of kids.
Hello, been binging on this from TDP, and love the HEY. KID. (What would you have done if he ran off???)
A couple Halloweens ago I dug out my magician’s flash paper trick gun and would go out every so often and fire it off at the street. Got a few more kids that way 😉 and a lot of “hey wow!” Might do it again some time if I can find more flash paper…

This is how I’m feeling right now, and it’s only been 40 minutes. I’ve never lived anywhere where I had trick-r-treaters.

We finally did end up with a bunch of kids, at least we got rid of most of the candy!
