The first little 'weeners just came. There are no street lights here which usually makes it too spooky for small kids. We heard so much howling outside like wolves slowly coming down the street and a loud motor. A dad had hooked a wagon to his riding mower, they'd decorated it with a tall ghost and paper pumpkins, and the 3 kids plus two couples arrived in style for their candy. :D

I hope none show up here for awhile- usually just the Grandkids and a couple of neighbor kids...But Grandma is still working and I don't know where she hid (from me :roll: ) the candy at.....

Zero trick or treaters since we moved from Bozeman to here... In my 31 Halloweens I have only had 1 year in College, maybe my first Halloween, and the 3 years in town in Bozeman that we had significant trick or treaters. Besides that we would getr maybe 1 or 2 a year where we grew up (And mom bought the BIG candy bars just in case someone did show up but, nope, never).. Have always lived at the end of dark driveways or in the middle of nowhere for the most part... NOt enough reward for the kiddies to put the effort in.. Might change in the enxt few years as lots of little kids have been born in the "neighborhood" but I doubt it...I think the 3 guardian dogs will keep people away, after all they might knock the kids over and steal all o their candy..

I'm tryiing to convince my hubby that we should go knock on neighbors' doors and when they open them throw candy at them. Otherwise we'll have all this leftover candy and you know who'll be eating it and not fit in her pants :!: :!: :roll:

Lucked out- Grandma just called- she's gonna be tied up in ER and CT for several hours with all the head injuries coming in from folks slipping on the ice- so she had to tell me where she hid the candy :wink: There goes my blood sugar for the night :roll: :lol:

Actually about the only reason the neighbor kids show up is that their Dads bring them by knowing that I always have a cold Silver Bullet in the medicine fridge and a bottle of 80 proof Canadian cough medicine in my cabinet-- they show up glass in hand and usually beat the kids thru the door :wink: :lol:

Yeap...I know it....here's the lyrics


Roly Poly
Eatin' corn and taters
Hungry every minute of the day
Roly Poly
Gnawin' on a biscuit
As long as he can chew it it's okay

He can eat an apple pie
And never even bat an eye
He likes anything from soup to hay
Roly Poly
Daddy's little fatty
I bet he's gonna be a man someday

Roly Poly
Scrambled eggs for breakfast
Bread and jelly twenty times a day
Roly Poly
He eats a hearty dinner
He needs lots of strength to sing and play

He's up at dawn to do the chores
And he runs both ways through all the stores
He works up an appetite that way
Roly Poly
Daddy's little fatty
Fatty's gonna be a man someday

Did you know if you can only remember a line or two of a song and want the rest of it you can type the few words into Google, maybe write the word "song" also and it will give you the words usually. Our 94 yr old father in law was trying to remember a song way back in his childhood something about a frog went kerchug and we found the lyrics that way. Tooo neat! :)
