Mark Kohne and I took our two Madeline's out, Cathie took Emily out for a half hour and Nate and his buddy Austin went out together. So that we wouldn't have to do the sucker move of leaving a big bowl out and expecting people to take only one, our friends Joe and Joanne came over and handed out candy to the munchkins for us until Cathie and Emily got back. The kids hit every house in the neighborhood before the night was capped off with rain.
The kids took in quite a haul. As South Lyon builds up with newer homes, there's less and less demand for our neighborhood, while all the kids go to the newer more expensive homes. This translate into people giving out a lot more candy. In our neighborhood, Holloween is as much about the parents as it is the kids. There are a lot of houses that have beer or jello shots for the parents and candy for the kids. It's pretty common to see the adults walking around with a beverage of choice. Between the left-over candy we have, plus the kids candy, I'm going to be in a sugar haze for a while to come.
