Halloween's here

The prep work is done. Asian Cowgirl and I carved up some pumpkins earlier this week as you can see:

I went and got candy last night so I didn't have to go during the day today to get the dregs of leftover candy. You know, Smarties and the like *blech*. This is my first year in the new apartment where I'll be home to hand out candy so I don't know what kind of traffic we get here. To hedge my bets I got over $30 worth of candy. I do NOT want to be that jerk that runs out early. To offset the cost Pinky was kind enough to slip me $20.

She just loves Halloween. She's a perfect Halloween cat being all black and kids often comment on her when they come to the door. Two years ago two sisters, about 5 and 7, saw her when they came to the door (because Pinky's like a dog and loves visitors so she has to greet all the trick or treaters). One of them said "Oooooh a Halloween kitty!" and I said "Yes I rented her just for tonight so tomorrow I'm going to bring her back to the shelter". The little girls looked like they were about to cry, but their father was cracking up.

Pinky is THE BOMB!!!

WOW! You, Lois, and Cake are totally tied for most awesome Hallowe'en posts. Kudos to you and the AC for those pumpkins.

Overlooking the obvious typo in your post re: Smarties, I gotta say I'm not sure how much candy to get, too. I live amidst a throng of cranky elderly people who probably turn their porch lights off and batten down the hatches as soon as it gets dark...But, what's the worst that can happen? I'll have leftover candy?
