It happens every year
and it is the only time I can hand out gospel messages and no one says no
So this year I packed up 140 bags. I found a fun paper with games to play and then the message.
Along with 3 or 4 pieces of candy in a cute bag and tied with a bow
I often wear an old bridesmaid gown...yellow...like Princess Belle, but this year I wore a glow in the dark black spider shirt.
We were watching as large groups of kids arrived ( some young, some not so young) So hubby thought we better make up more bags. With his help, the total became 181.
When the this fun family came, we hit 180.
They wanted to pose for the photo because they recognized hubby, he is a traffic patrol man in the mornings for school traffic. They were very polite
With that...our candy was gone... we turned off the lights. It was about 7:45 Still a few knocks on the door.
Yes it was a very big night, next year I am shooting for 200 !
( need to check with the family two doors down, they served hot chocolate, they might have had more customers than we did...we have a long driveway )
a few comments:
(checking the photos from previous years posted on the screen door)
Oh, I see my friend..oh that's me
I love seeing these pictures
What a great idea
This is the weird house
(the door opens )
Is this the house with Christian papers?
Yes, is that ok? ....no response
Trick or Treat...again and again
and most of the time Thank You !!
this will probably always be my favorite...
Yes, they won a prize that year... maybe 10 years ago. Who would not love those boys !?!
I live an exciting life
