One thing I love most about living in town is having trick-or-treaters at Halloween. It's so fun to sit outside with my bucket of candy & see the streets filled with kiddos. I think once our subdivision is finished next year, we will have lots more & I can't wait!
I started out the day by taking Nola to doggie daycare at Barking Ranch. They were hosting a Halloween "party" so of course she had to have a costume. Please note it is not easy to find a cute, last minute costume for a 75 pound dog. Everything was either a size extra small or cost a fortune. I found a "rufferree" costume at Target for $6 & a $3 Halloween collar at TJMaxx {to girly it up a little}...so a rufferee it was! Plus y'all know how much I love football so it was kinda fitting.
This year, rather than do individual candy, I decided to do little treat bags for each kiddo...that way I could "ration" better & know exactly how many trick-or-treaters I had. I made 150 bags...and ran out at 8:00pm {with more kids coming down the street}.
We had our candy ready so then we just had to wait for trick-or-treaters! I will add that Nola LOVED it! At first I had her in the backyard, but she was barking like crazy. My parents came because my mom wanted to pass out candy for a while so while she handed out candy, I had Nola on a leash in the front yard. She just laid there while all the kiddos loved on her...needless to say, she was in heaven!
Several of my favorite trick-or-treaters stopped by!
Happy November!
I love the pupper costume. So cute. We almost ran out of candy too! I thought my hubby was gonna have a heart attack with every piece we handed out because that was one less piece he could have. Tee hee!
