Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween everyone!

I don't really do Halloween much as an adult; it's too much fun to watch the little ones dressed up and counting candy bars in their bags. Some kids use pillowcases for their loot, which seems overly optimistic to me. I mean really, that's a lot of candy. I used to sort my candy when I got home. I'd make three piles: the great candy--the kind you eat right away, the okay candy--this candy can last weeks and the really sucky candy. That's the candy that I'd either give it to my brother in exchange for some okay candy (you can't really trade up two levels unless you're working with a toddler and then that's just mean) or I'd find this candy in February at the bottom of a drawer and eat it. And I'd be reminded why it was a bottom tier candy.

One thing that saddens me about our Shelburne location is that no kids come trick or treating. In Charlotte, every year we'd have upwards of three hundreds little aliens, princesses and headless horsemen come around asking for candy.

Well, I hope all the trick or treaters are safe tonight and get nothing but great candy.
