Teenagers and Halloween

I have a question. It is about trick-or-treating etiquette if it can be called that.

Do you give the teenagers candy that show up at your door without a costume? And should you make them say "Trick-or-treat"?

The last several years we have had teenagers just show up, hold out their bag and walk away. This year I'm tempted to just say "Well it sure was nice to bring that candy by for me. How did you know?" as I'm reaching in their bag for the chocolate candy bar.

I'm also tempted to go the the religious supply store and get a pamphlet and some holy cards, stable them together and pass those out. Actually that is a really good idea! I might just do that!

What do you all do in this situation?

Hello???

HOLY GOD ITS STILL HERE!

And you want to know whats more amazing? I remember my password and how to get in! Amazing! And they say the sleep deprived can't remember shit. Well I'll show 'em!

I'm gonna tell you all right here and now that you can thank Toni and Jeannie for this post. Mostly because when Jeannie came to knit night tonight the first thing she said to me was "September 24th?"

Me: "What?"

Jeannie: "Libby, your last blog post was on September 24. I check your blog every day and you really need to update it."

Me: "I have a blog?"

Jeannie: "I want to see pics of your kids."

Ladies and gentlemen, I have been told. No, I don't think that "told" is the proper term for it. I've been done told. DONE TOLD... it doesn't get more serious than that!

So without further ado, here are pics of my kids at the Halloween Carnival at the park at the end of our street. It was put on by the city and they really outdid themselves this year. They had trick-or-treating and rides and cider and doughnuts and haunted houses and all sorts of fun stuff!

The worlds most scrumptious pea pod!


The worlds cutest Elmo!

She LOVED the flying saucer!

Where is the knitting you ask? Well there has been knitting but to show you would require that I actually take a picture of it. I haven't been so good in the picture department so you will have to excuse me. Although I will take a pic of the yarn that I got in today and I'll show you soon!
