Totally unrelated, but this has got to be the saddest leader board I have ever seen.
Son: Jackson, 11/02/06, stillborn due to PPROM and IUGR. Over the next ten years we had 9 miscarriages from 8-14 weeks. On May 18, 2016 my daughter, Ridley, was born. We're OADNBC.

We had a pathetic showing of trick or treaters… and very few in actual costumes. But I did get an Anna! I complemented her costume (because, ya know, she had one on), and then she put her hand down her dress and I got very confused… apparently that is how you made it light up and play music???!! Whoever designed that should have thought it through better.
Just got back from taking DS out trick-or-treating, and we did see one Elsa. We didn't make it very far because he only wanted to see pumpkins (he's obsessed) and wasn't interested in candy. (Hello? Priorities, kid!!)

We probably had around 40 kids, last year we had hundreds (we gave out over 900 pieces of candy last year). So I'm a little bummed. We did have 4 Elsas and one Anna.
We have an absolute ton of candy left, so I think we're going to try to find either a shelter or a Christmas program that needs/wants candy and donate it.

We saw a total of 8 Elsas, no other Annas, and no Olafs. Weird. And our TOTing was ended an hour due to rain. It hasn't rained here in such a long time. I consumed lots of beer. DH and I are now relaxing watching Blended.
It's 8:30 so TOT is almost over, so DH and I and our friend just chugged the "Elsa shots" DH made: He poured coconut rum into a bowl of watermelon slices, let it soak overnight, then poured the juice/rum into a blender with a few watermelon slices and some ice. BWI.
Didn't have any elsas. We did have a lego, which was adorable. A few teenagers with no costumes just asking for candy. And my favorite was my next door neighbors. Dad was a hipster? Mom was the wizard, son #1 tin man, son #2 scarecrow, son #3 lion, baby daughter Dorothy. So adorable, ages 6 yrs to 6 months.

I was surprised at just how nice the kids were. So respectful. Not that I expected them to me mean/rude but they were all so kind. Even the annoying teenagers who would open the door and crack a half-smile because they kind of knew they were too old for this. Our first real TOT'ing experience was fun!

I'm so sad. We didn't get any Trick or Treaters. We moved into a new neighborhood so we weren't sure. My parents did come though dressed in 50's clothing so at least we got to see something! Anyone want any candy? We have tons!
We had one merideth, one Anna. Then the last group to show was a family: Girl Elsa. Mom Anna. Baby Olaf. Dad Sven. Giant Rottweiler reindeer. Boom. Drop the mic and chug.
We get a couple hundred TOTers every year, though this year and last were a little lighter due to the icky weather.
Saw lots of Elsa's and Anna's, and definitely saw the TMNT trend too. Plus we saw several kids with these pixelated block head things on, and my husband had to explain to me that they were from a video game called mine craft? I'm so out of the loop...
Also, we had several 40+ year old men shamelessly collecting candy, not even an explanation of a sick kid or anything. We get a few every year. Nice.

Was Ana babywearing Olaf? Because I'm 99% sure I know that family.
Mom did have a black carrier (bjorn maybe?) but baby was on the hip and ready to be done. Is baby a 10ish m girl? And Elsa was technically Olafs cousin.
I was really looking forward to see the Elsa/Anna turnout, but due to inclement weather and living on a busier road, we had 0 trick-or-treaters! So naturally, I had to eat ALL the chocolate, how terrible. However, I had 2 nieces that were Elsa and one that was Anna, and 3 of my students at school were Elsa! What a craze.

Late to the party. We had two Elsas traveling with us so we had to continuously drink. DH and I made it through most of a jumbo bottle of a really tasty chocolate wine. We carried travel mugs and toted the bottle in the wagon.
Re: NTTGPR: How many Elsa's?
