I have two kids and would agree that parenting offers a good deal of challenges and frustrating moments but I wouldn’t change that for anything.

How many children do you have Derek? What ages? Don’t you think parenthood is the most challenging, most frustrating and ultimately most rewarding job in the world?

Sorry that I missed that post. I think that it is a great tradition that you have there in your neighborhood. I do hope that it will continue in the future too.

Hey happy Halloween to you too Derek. Hope you had a great time. I liked that concept of moms giving candy to all the kids arriving at the door. Wish I could go back to my childhood days.

@martoon :: Thanks for stopping by! It has been a fun tradition on our street and hopefully we will keep it up for many years to come.

@Nick :: We were pretty lucky this year ourselves as we usually have pretty cold temps by this time of year. The last few years have been relatively mild though.

@JC Carvill :: Lol, we were the envy of many other dads out yesterday when they saw our wagon full of beverages.

@Damien :: The chili was fantastic – the perfect ending to the night as it began to get a little colder before we got home.

@Glenn :: We sure enjoy it, thanks!

@FS :: Our house is pretty popular on Halloween as we give out the full size candy bars. All of the older kids always try to come back multiple times and they tell all of their friends as well.

@sebastienne :: You’d have had a great time in our neighborhood. Thanks for stopping by!

@Erik :: Hopefully you bought the candy that you like! Thanks for stopping by, it is good to see you again.

@iphone :: That sounds cool. We didn’t decorate our house up nearly as much as we have in previous years. When my wife was in cosmetology school, she kept about 10 of the fake heads and those always come in handy this time of year.

@JP :: Where are you from?

Halloween was a washout where I live, hardly anyone out and about…But then it isn’t really celebrated here…It’s nice that you have that tradition though.

Sounds like a nice tradition you have there. We had some nicely decorated homes in our area, in fact one home went so far as to install motion detectors. When kids would approach the home, ominous music would play…it was well done.

That happened to me last year, I had a bunch of candy and only like 4 kids stopped by so I had plenty of candy to eat. This year I had to work so I didn’t even buy any candy.

I didn’t have any kids come by so I get to keep all the candy!! Happy belated Halloween.
