@Lynn49 I am very disappointed we only had about 25 teenagers so far no little one who usually gets all dressed up and look adorable

I’d happily share some of the kindlings we had here, flemeth. Not the goat, though. He stays.
I admit the little ones who are still excited about Halloween are cute, and sometimes my Hubby would call me over to see a particularly cute one. But that’s about it. 3 boxes of chocolates gone, lol. Well, almost. Hubby freezes the leftovers for snack attacks. I’m trying not to get into that box if chip bags!

@danger_dan..... picturrrrrr

@walkonby - we didn't have anyone either... we turn off the lights, half of our neighbors did too. And yes, yes I did say darn

Glad that's over for another year

Good mo everyone

[danger_dan]

morning folks.

[Lynn49]

Good morning!

Yes, @Skippy, a beautiful goat named, of course, Billy. A family with a farm just north of the city visit their friends on our street and every year they bring one of their goats for the 200+ kids out here on halloween. I sent a pic to Walkonby, lol, of it at our front door for his picture. Of course when my .hubby saw it on the street I had to go out and beat off the kids so I could pet it and see its beautiful eyes! Hahaha!
Also yes, over 200 kids from 5pm until 7 when the street went dark. It was over.

Now….ON TO CHRISTMAS!!!

Wowzers @Lynn49 you folk up north really know how to celebrate!...I'm with @walkonby and I got goat envy!..only goats in this neighbourhood are some of us old goats and we're here year round!
Once again we tied last years number of zero trick or treaters. I wonder how different it would be with a real deal goat?
Yesterday the snow started as I scrambled to gather up more leaves,today frost on the ground and the leaves look glazed..hmm glazed donut!

[Lynn49]

YES! You cropped it, @ walkonby! Thank you, much better to see him that way! Aw, he was so calm, just nibbling our grass…they’re such a sweet critter! ‘Til next year!

Our DD a few streets over, a cul-de-sac had only 8 kids, yet when they were young cars used to drop kids off at our corner, send the kids around our houses, back to their cars! Lol! Times change, kids grow up.

Thank you for posting our visiting goat!💕

Oh goodness, @GoJays , SKIPPY CORRECTED ME THAT IT WAS YOU WHO COMMENTED ABOUT OUR VISITING GOAT, sorry for the mix- up. I told him I’d pull the ‘old lady’ excuse. Yes, over 200 tots from 5pm to 7pm.And the goat! It was all over at 7…the street went dark! Lol!
Hugs, Jays!

BTW!

I thought I’d take ONE chocolate bar from our stash, so I chose an Aero bar thinking it’s probably less caloric than the other ones, but thought I should check just in case…….230 calories! In one mini bar!
The most of all of them!
So yes, I put it back and to this day, haven’t had one.
It’s true….’Tricks’ is for kids! Hahaha!

I did have a scotch. 90 calories. But 230 for a mini bar? That’s my lunch!

[walkonby]

oh my gawd! If I had to choose between alcohol and chocolate, the Aero bar would win out but that's just my weakness talking. I was more than happy to post Mr. Goat for you @Lynn49 . Isn't it nuts how you had such a huge crowd of kids on your street while your DD's place had 8. Wow. There's no planning for Halloween anymore. Times HAVE changed.
I heard somewhere in the USA parents parked their vehicles in a lot and opened up their trunks, then kids could just walk from trunk to trunk trick or treating!!
At first I though " oh smart! " , but then it hit me that the kids are getting NO exercise at all. There's already an obesity issue for young people, this cannot help that at all.
