Ok... as much as I thought, the trick-or-treaters came last nite. I especially liked the first 2 girls who came in a realistic & complete witch costume & make-up and the other was a beautiful fluttery fairy!! I gave them extra chockies!! And when asked if they've got an adult with them, they were very shy & said, "Our dad..." Of cos I told them 'that's good'... And they fluttered off, I stuck my head out the door, and their dad was waiting at the driveway, he said thanks & off they went to the next house.And while I was organising evening tea, another 2 boys came... and this time, Kris had the chance to serve them. They had their mom waiting at the driveway too... And Kris was excited cos the kids were excited seeing the big bowl of chockies... and of cos, them getting 3 pieces each... I can hear their "COOOOOLLL..." all the way from the kitchen!!
We didn't have that many that day... cos Halloween fell on a weekday this year & not many parents would allow their kids to drag them out of the house at night just to get a bag of treats. Furthermore, it's not really part & parcel of Oz custom, just like Thanksgivings Day.
