Hey guys and welcome to the Moms and Mysteries podcast. A true crime podcast featuring myself,

Mandy and my dear friend Melissa. Hi, Melissa. Hi, Mandy. How are you? I'm currently just feeling

kind of cozy, a little sleepy. The weather is kind of cool-ish and a little bit

overcast. So I just kind of feel like it's a lazy afternoon. I know. And then it is a great

feeling to feel like that coziness. But then the second like you go outside in the afternoons,

you're like, oh, it's actually 80. This is actually getting kind of gross in the afternoons. you're like, oh, it's, it's actually 80. This is actually getting

kind of gross in the afternoons. But mornings are beautiful. Love that. Absolutely wonderful.

Did you guys have a nice Halloween? We did have a nice Halloween, although I will say that it was a

little disappointing because I feel like it just, there wasn't anyone out trick or treating okay and I feel like

I've been saying for years that Halloween's getting less and less and people putting on like big

displays really at any holiday have been getting less and less and so for me that's like sad because

I remember being a kid and how big of a deal it was at that time you know I felt like felt like when I was growing up, when we would go trick-or-treating, like the neighborhood was full of kids walking around and, you know, and their parents out walking around with them. And where we went, we don't trick-or-tree in my neighborhood because I don't really live in a neighborhood. So we always go somewhere else. I thought that it would be a good area to trick or treat because a lot of the houses did have Halloween decorations out that I had been seeing, you know, when I was going through the area in the last few weeks. But there wasn't that many kids out. Right. You know, nobody really knocked on the door. I think we took a tally of the number of kids who knocked on my friend's door and I think there was like 10 trick or treaters. Isn't that crazy? Yeah. So I don't really know why. I know, you know, it was on a Tuesday, so that probably had a little bit to do with it. I feel like trunk or treats are a big thing now. Like the weekend before, typically there's just more things going on, like activity-wise, I feel like.

I don't like it.

I don't like it if it takes away from like traditional trick or treating.

Which I know.

I know.

And I know in this day and eight, I mean, I don't know.

It's just such a fun tradition.

It just is sad to me to see it going a different direction. That's all.

My daughter went for the first time just with her friend and they did that, but they like

raked like they got so much candy. It was crazy. But we brought our son in our neighborhood and we

walked from here to my in-laws, which is like three quarters of a mile. And there was only three houses that we hit that had candy. And each one had Reese's. And my son was like, oh, come on. But it's like on ring camera. I'm like, if somebody gives you something you can't have, just say thank you. And we'll trade it. But then when people weren't there and it was just the box, he would be like, oh. And I was like, okay, they can hear you when they reviewed this film,
