This was our first year handing out candy together on Halloween. We went to the JCPenny Outlet at the Eastfield Mall and got some Halloween decorations and we got a selection of our favorite candy at Rite Aid and put them in little baggies. I am happy to say we bought just enough candy to get us to 8:30pm, and then we turned our lights off. I am not happy that many of our trick-or-treaters were not in costume, adults, or both. I will refrain from opining on the situation for now, but I am contemplating making a sign with rules for next year. I would post it at the end of our walkway with a big light shining on it. It would say:
1.) No costume, no candy.
2.) Must be under 15.
3.) No Running. (One little girl ran and fell)
4.) Ring the door bell once, or knock once. Not both or duplicates.
Did you have problems with trick-or-treaters? Have any tips for saying no to kids with no costumes? Any rules to add to my list? Post them in the comments!

Copperline Eatery
CHICKPEAS: 4
My Fiance and I have recently discovered Copperline Eatery. While this doesn't seem surprising since I just moved here, he has lived in the area for three years. Since our first trip on October 1st, we have been at least five times for breakfast and dinner. We tried to go back again this morning (would have been our third day in a row... don't judge) but there was a line out the door.
Copperline is in the back of a convenience store at 409 Broadway in Chicopee. You can enter through the front or on the side. There is a parking lot on the right side (if facing the building) and there is additional parking on the street. Copperline is seat yourself, and all tables are booths.
On a recent trip for dinner my Fiance and I got a full carafe of wine ($7, though some varieties are less expensive), a bowl of clam chowder, chicken quesadillas, a buffalo chicken salad and a cranberry walnut chicken salad. The bill was somewhere around $25. Cheap date!
PROs: Price, Portions, Keno
CONs: Service is a bit slow sometimes, packed on Sunday mornings, only open for dinner Thursdays and Fridays til 7:30pm.
Have you been to Copperline? Love or hate?
