Ummm is it just me or has Halloween candy gotten a hell of a lot smaller since we were kids?!? I don't know about you folks but I don't think the above chocolate bars are "fun size" I will however agree that they are "mini"! The one on the left is apparently a twix and on the right is a snickers bar. I feel sorry for kids nowadays, their parents will tell them they can only have "one or two treats" from their loot bag on Hallows' Eve which will be equivalent to eating half a pringle.

I remember many moons ago being dressed up as a die.....with a fellow die....which made us a pair of dice. My fingers had been slammed in a car door twice (by mistake) and were swollen beyond recognition a few days prior. My lovely costume mate carried my bag of goodies for the entire night which was fantastic and she didn't complain one bit! We always went to the neighbourhood which gave out big chocolate bars and the house that had a drink menu. Seriously, what a great idea! They knew kids would be thirsty and offered a whole list of beverages to choose from, pop, water, iced tea, juice!

It also snowed, yes snowed one year on October 31. I don't recall that particular costume but it must have been something warm or was altered to fit with the weather. Brrrrr......

Speaking of which it's 9 degrees, that's 48 for the Americans today and raining BRRRRRRRR......I've been bundled up all day long and actually went out in sweatpants and a hoodie as I couldn't even be bothered to put on proper attire. Rain and cold weather make me feel and look like a shlumpadinka! (I'm #2 on the list)
