  • At my house it is a process. I will have 500+ kids to give treats to. I have an old card table I place by the front door. On that table I have bowls and bowls of pretzels, raisins, candy, stickers, pencils, erasers and Charlie Brown rocks. I have something for everyone including the kids that can't have candy.


    When they start arriving, I shove the 6 cats in my bedroom so that they don't escape. The 3 dogs get put on leads and tied to the stair banister so their noses reach the front door to be petted by the wee ones. Bird and dragon are in their cages or on my shoulder for the kids to admire.


    I prop the screen door open and have the front door open, no sense in closing it. And I have my snacks and water bottle there so I stay hydrated and play Rocky Horror Picture Show to catch glimpses throughout the evening. Not like I haven't seen it a thousand times already.


    And from 5:30 o 9:30 It is a non stop parade of kids and people. And pray I don't run out!
