I love giving out candy on Halloween. Mostly because I love the little ones who come up to the door in the most adorable costumes so that it takes all my will power not to go "Awwwww...cute!" Sometimes I wait til the door is closed and do that anyway! So here are my top 3 favorites from last night.
- A little boy about 6 or so that I gave a Kit Kat. He turned to his mom on the sidewalk and shouted, "Mom, look! It's my favorite!!"
- A little ladybug with sparkly boots who got pulled out of her stroller right at the end of my porch. When her mom put her down, she was more interested in using her new-found freedom to try running off the porch instead of coming to get candy. When I got down on her level and offered her a box of Milk Duds, we became fast friends.
- One little guy who came up to the door with his big brothers and sisters. They had got the doorbell and I was handing out candy, and this little guy wanted more than anything to ring the doorbell! That big glowing light on the door frame was more exciting than anything I could give him. It made me sad he was too little to reach it!! I tried to pick him up to get him higher, but that freaked him out more than anything and he forgot he wanted to hit the button.
Here were the least favorite.
- Two women who looked like they were in their 30's. No kids with them. Seriously?
- The teenager who towered over me and when I went put a piece in his bag, he leaned over and looked in my bucket to see what else I had. Hmm.
