*flops* I give up. I don't understand. Last year, with a bag of candy, I had most of it left. I got maybe 10 kids. This year? Mobbed. Two (small, but two) bags of candy. Gone. I had to turn the lights off and retreat.
I'm not sorry I didn't have enough to keep it up, entirely. There's a limit to how many kids I can handle in one night and I'm well past mine. One was trying to grab more candy out of the dish while I gave pieces to the others with him; another demanded chocolate (which I hadn't gotten any of, sorry buddy). Others were shy, or just obnoxious; one liked to swing his sword at you while asking for candy.
Cutest, hands-down, was a pair of youngish (3 and 5, maybe?) kids dressed up as ducklings, all over white down. Their mother was leading them, with just a bit of feathers to go with her comment of being 'Mama Duck'.
I wonder why we were so busy alla sudden compared to previous years. May need to stock more against such moments.
