Halloween (3)

As Halloween neared there were more & more houses being decorated in our subdivision. One of Mary's daughters, Angie came over to our house with her husband, Mike, & their children, Devon & Kayleigh, to go 'Trick or Treating' with Cheryl, Beth & Mary.

There were lots of houses where the owners were sitting outside ready to give the children candy. There was one house on the next road up from our house where the owners had dressed up & were sat waiting for the children. Their house had lights & smoke machines & if the children didn't tell a joke (a St Louis tradition) they they didn't get any candy.

I didn't get in from work until late & so missed the first round of candy collecting, but went out with everyone around a another part of the subdivision. We finished at about 8:00pm & the kids all got loads of candy!
