It always worked for us (we give away full size candy bars in the country!), but nowadays the parents drop their kids off in the nearest city so they can walk house to house in the subdivisions. For the past three years we have gotten...one. My nephew brings his son and I think the only reason they stop is because they know he's my only little goblin! I have hope for this year as our neighbors' daughter moved in with her two kids. Maybe they'll stop by. That's bring our count up to three!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14858720522828231380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-45757994234951578222011-10-31T07:48:57.947-05:002011-10-31T07:48:57.947-05:00Love the pumpkins!
