As you can see my little Witch/Vampire and Skeleton had quite the haul....And somehow I am going to eat none of it. While this way-to-much-candy-in-the-house season continues, I will keep you updated on how much of their candy I have (or have not) eaten!

The streets, without the pitterpatter of little ghouls and goblins.
Ghouls and Goblins.. I don't think anyone actually dresses up as ghouls or goblins anymore. I know mine went as a Witch (though half way through she took of her hat and proclaimed herself to be a vampire) and a skeleton. And I don't know about pitter patter either.. They halloweeners I saw were certainly having too much fun (aka loud) to hear any pitter pattering!!!! But no matter how you look at it, there was definitely a good time had by all!

Halloween and the Curse of the Candy Calories
So its Halloween.. That means two things - Trick or Treaters and CANDY!!!!!

Halloween 2010[/caption]
I don't think we runners (or want-to-be runners as I consider myself at the moment) are any different from any other person. We will escort our little ghouls and goblins around the neighborhood so that they can beg for a sweet confectionary delight at each house. After an eternity of watching them mooch, and yelling "Did you say thank you?" and "Get off the grass!" - we will return home tired and worn out. Then my wife and I will begin the annual "Candy Inspection." The ever important part of the evening where we make sure no one has tampered with any of the loot before handing it out. (One amazing thing, is every year it seems that most of the Peanut Butter Cups have been tampered with. Then, we have to set those aside in a bowl that the kids aren't allowed to touch as my wife and I test each one individually making sure they are "Safe.")
