They were mostly in 2s, 3s and 4s, but there were some large groups that came by too. Only a few Barbies, several vegetables (pumpkins, carrots, etc), at least 2 or 3 ninjas, more than a few football and baseball players, and LOTS of girls that I suspect were Swifties.

The bad thing is that we have 1 - 2lb bag of candy left over. The good thing is that it's those miniature Kit Kats and Snickers bars. (The Snickers got past my wife's "no peanuts" policy for Halloween.)

We burned through almost 5 pounds. A big success for our quiet little cul-de-sac street. I saw several ninjas and Swifties (my neighbor had to help me identify those), but the biggest costume trend of the night was parents dressed as Rip and Beth from Yellowstone. We usually have a couple of mom's in questionable daddy-issue costumes, but I guess the cold took care of that this year.

We escaped with very few leftovers, but then this morning our very generous neighbor across the street left a shopping bag on our doorstep HEAVY with leftover, full-sized Paydays and Snickers (Rita's favs).
