kyburg5 of the big bags of candy from Costco - gone by 9:00 PM.
3 boxes of paperbacks, ditto - 8:15 PM.
Last trick or treaters? 9:45 ish or so. We gave them hot chocolate packets -
Temperature?
77 degrees at 10:00 PM. WTF. That has to be the warmest Halloween I can remember.
Quotes of the evening?
"Wow, a book! See you next year!" No particular variety of candy ever gets that response.
After handing a Star Trek novel to a ten-year-old (with Dad along) - "Look Dad!" "Oooh, a Star Trek book. We'll read that together."
And of course, the automatic "thank you! Wow! Thanks!" is always a hit.
And I get to purge the paperbacks and make room for new ones. How can you lose?
Need more coloring books. And could have given away more paperbacks, if I'd had them ready.

Four years ago today, folks.
I think I'm going to take my honey to the Local Place for dinner tonight. The budget, she is squealing loudly. But I think we can manage some haupia cake or something.
Linen, huh. Wonder how I can twist that into an Amazon gift certificate. (*winks* at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
