Gosh, I bought 15 pounds of candy yesterday, and I'm wondering if it will be enough.
The rain should be gone by Saturday night.
I'll probably get 150-200 little goblins looking for goodies!
I'd better get more, just to be safe.
I have about 160 full size candy bars. Hope that's enough!
Wow I'm trick or treating at your house! I bought 12 bags of candy. Two bags each of Milky Way, Snickers, 3 Musketeers, Butterfinger, Twix & Kit Kat. That should be enough.

I probably should have just gotten candy bars. I made goody bags. Each one, for the bigger kids contains three suckers, four fun size candy bars, a piece of gum, and a fun size skittles and starburst. For the little kids they get a goody bag with a bag of pretzels, a bag of cheese balls, and five suckers. And then I have non candy bags that have rulers, stickers, note pads, pens, and some other things.

I'm at work now, hoping to get my oven fixed today. The bake element went out. The repair guy said he could probably get to my house "later this morning." He's going to call when he's heading my way and I'll run home. Haven't decided whether or not I'll come back to work. I'm thinking "not." Our main work computers are down for an upgrade and routine maintenance, so there's not much I can do here anyway.
Let Thirsty Thursday begin!
I have replaced the bake element twice in my oven, myself. It really is easy and saved me a ton of money.
Hope yours gets fixed today.
Totally just read "I have replaced the light in my Easy Bake Oven myself twice lately ... it really is easy and has saved me a ton of money!"
PLEASE no do NOT take it...especially to the bathroom to ummm find *pleasure*
Riding's post wins for the day!

I don't put that kind of effort into it. I open bags, dump them in a bowl & mix it around. Kids get to pick 2 each.
If the weather is wet Saturday, we will probably have less than a dozen trick-or-treaters.
If it's nice outside, I expect the parents of the under seven kids will take them around in the early afternoon, maybe 20 to 40.
Then the teenagers in the evening, between 6 and 15 of them.
Spouse likes to give each kid, 15 cents in coins, usually a nickel and 10 pennies because it sounds like a lot going into their bags or pumpkins.
I think 25 cents is appropriate.
She firmly believes that once the kids find out we're giving out money, a lot of them will come back over and over. I don't think so, and I'm the one answering the door.
What? Ugh. They want candy. Not pennies.
Ten pennies? I have that in my purse. Give me the Snickers and no one gets hurt.
No kid is coming back to get rich off your quarters and pennies when your neighbour is giving out full sized Mars bars. Tell spouse you're safe. Get a few flats of coke cans and go hard!

I'm not smart enough to fix an Easy Bake Oven.
But, I love how you read, lol.

Faith isn't something that keeps bad things from happening. Faith is what helps us get through bad things when they do happen.
I probably need to get my oven looked at. It heats up but it won't hold the temperature once it gets there. I have to turn it off & reheat it again. It's ok for casseroles as long as I remember but when I tried to make pigs in a blanket with crescent rolls the rolls didn't ever cook through.

You need a new thermostat for your oven. Or, maybe a new oven, period. Thermostats are expensive to have replaced.
Hmm, I think you should go shopping.

Go hard? Does this relate to the sausage?

My oven is 9 yo but I don't cook like you do. It might have 3 years worth of use on it. Seriously, I make lasagna once a year, mac & cheese a few times. I've made a few cakes & frozen pizzas. I use my toaster oven 100X more. The toaster oven cost about $25 & is at a minimum 15 yo. I think the oven was about $750. It is GE profile stainless with glass cook top. It matches all the other appliances. It will probably be cheaper to get it fixed.

Sounds like a beautiful stove and oven. You're right, it would be cheaper to get it fixed.
Talking about ovens, I need to clean mine.

So tired from the past couple days. My candy corn Rice Krispy treats were a hit but labor intensive. Grabby hands didn't help either. The recipe I used for the pumpkin pie truffles didn't come out right - the truffles refused to set regardless of what I did. But, the flavor was still there so I brought them to group anyway. There were quite a few gone so I guess they were yummy even though they looked like crap. I've only ever made chocolate truffles (which always come out) but wanted something Halloween-y. Oh well.
DH is vastly enjoying the treats. I'm not a fan of RK treats so those will be his. I do like the truffles though. DS didn't care for the truffles but he's helping DH eat the RK treats.
I have to make the pumpkin cake either today or tomorrow for the Fall Festival. That's going to be easy enough.
My right calf locked up a couple days ago and is still locked up. You can easily feel how rigid the muscle is. Hurts more than usual to walk. Sad thing is, I'm in so much pain on a daily basis that the pain from my calf is starting to "melt" into the rest of the pain.
It stopped raining. A little sun is poking through.

SS's grandma just texted him. "Thanks for being an azzhole..."

I guess you didn't read yesterday's daily. Readers Digest version. DH and SS's mom nicely agreed to let DH have SS Saturday. It will be his first Halloween ever with his son. SS's sisters bday is Sunday and we promised to bring SS home Saturday night so he could attend the party on Sunday. SS's grandma has been saying for a month that she wants SS for Halloween. She ALWAYS gets him for Halloween. We planned a family event here since DN and Sparkly will be here. When grandma was told that SS would be coming here she moved his sisters party to Saturday. Then she called her SS's mom and said, "One way or another I'm going to get my grandson." DH won't back down so grandma put mom in the middle when she didn't care in the first place. It's grandma. Not mom.

He can't really block her because when SS is here she calls and talks to him. The problem is that she has always thought she had more rights to SS than DH did. Don't get me wrong. I think she should see him. I don't think she should be denied the opportunity to see him. But you don't get to see your grand kids on demand. You ASK their parents if you can have them. You don't call your kids up and DEMAND your rights to your grand kids. That's not how it works. And she does get to see SS really often.

DH thinks she's getting dementia. SS says sometimes she'll ask him stuff or get onto him for stuff and he has no idea what she's talking about. And she's turned into a hoarder. She has a 3-2-2 with the garage closed in for a fourth bedroom. Three bedrooms and one bath are off limits because the crap in there is to the ceiling.

Yeah, pretty much. SS says all their toys are in the bedrooms and they can't get them out because of too many bugs.

DS got done with his lunch and crammed the leftovers into the rest of milk. Then drank some of the milk. Today's concoction? Bits and pieces of his half tuna sandwich and his remaining yogurt. Maybe a piece or two of mac n cheese too. And he drank it! Gross.

Almost all ready for Halloween. We usually get close to 200 kids. On a Saturday, there will be more since the weather is good. Last time it was on a Saturday, the Phillies were playing for the World Series and it was raining. We had just over 150 kids.
Still have to buy the Rice Crispy treats to give out.
Fruit Bites
Kid Version - Pina Colada bites are soaking - pineapple chunks soaked in coconut water and blue dye to tell them apart from the adult version
Adult Version Pina Colada bites - pineapple chunks soaked in coconut rum - no dye
Adult Version Orange Creamsicle - mandarin oranges soaked in vanilla vodka - no dye

DH took me to Old Spaghetti Factory for Mother's Day back in May. We got an appetizer that came with the restaurant's version of ranch. DS mixed marinara with applesauce then added the ranch and poured it on his spaghetti. He ate it too.
