Happy Halloween!

Halloween in an apartment is just not the same as it is at my house. I mean, I don't dress up for Halloween, but I love to see all the little children in their costumes! But here my apartment complex has a "Halloween Bash" on the night before Halloween so the children can get candy and not "bother" the residence on Halloween, therefore making the children go down the road to the more affluent neighborhoods on Halloween (which I'm sure they don't mind - better candy), but I miss out on seeing everyone, as I don't attend the "bash".

At my home-home, as I like to call it, our neighborhood goes crazy for Halloween. It's not a big subdivision, but people come who don't live there and drop their kids off - it's a very small town, so the crime risk is low and one of our four police officer patrol streets too, so the kids are safe. Anyway, the residents get their lawn chairs and sit in their driveways. My parents love it! My mom makes huge Halloween bags for the neighborhood kids and then smaller treat bags for the other kids. This year I think the final count was about 150 bags and they usually run out. It's insane! Another neighbor hooks up his four-wheeler and makes a hayride, and so on and so forth. I've never actually been there for one of these - I was in college when we moved there and then I moved down here, so I've only heard stories, but next year I might go home to witness it for myself.

Since I'm not going to be giving out any candy today, I thought I would share with you my Favorite Halloween candy EVER! Yum!

It's complete sugar, which is why I don't buy said candy, but yesterday at work, some saintly woman had brought Autumn mix - you know with candy and indian corn and those cute pumpkins - and put it right next to the coffee maker. It seriously made my day!

Happy Halloween Everyone!
