227 Trick-or-Treaters
This year we had 227 trick-or-treaters. That’s a bit on the higher end for us, but not quite as many as last year.
Halloween was on a Friday and it was raining pretty constantly.
As with 2024, we technically started handing out candy at 5:30 because the number of kids this year starting early was overwhelming. I’ve grouped the 5:30p to 6:00p kids (38) in with the 6:00p - 6:30p kids (57) to total 95 in the 6:00p - 6:30p time block. Given this is the second time we’ve had to start early, I wonder if I need to adjust the time capturing to start at 5:30 from here on out.
Missing/incongruous data:
- 2017 we were remodeling the house and didn’t hand out candy.
- 2018 I walked with Phoenix and the tally got lost somewhere.
- 2020 was COVID and no one handed out candy.
- 2022 we were getting our floors redone due to a leak and the whole house was torn up so we didn’t hand out candy.
- 2024 we bundled 5:30-6:00 (24) in with 6:00-6:30 (22) which affects the average for that block.
- 2025 we bundled 5:30-6:00 (38) in with 6:00-6:30 (57) which affects the average for that block.

2025 has been rough - we had a laundry room leak with repairs that spanned from January through September, we got a new roof… there was a lot of home project stuff going on. I was entirely out of inspiration and energy, so I went simple. I made the shirt using some custom printed PDX carpet fabric I found on Etsy. On my head is a small airplane stuffy I bought off Amazon and tacked down to a headband. The scarf is something I had already. I will hopefully be more on top of things next year.
