We just moved here in Feb not sure if we will get any trick or treaters or not. We live in an older area and there are some kids, but our neighborhood has narrow streets and no sidewalks ( built in side of a mountain) so walking is dangerous. And we live on cul de sac with 4 houses.
We bought candy we like and expect leftovers!

I'm strange ....... I bought washable tattoos for the kids
Three years ago we had a group of 5 teens around 8pm and no one else
I'll donate the tattoos to the local girl scout troop

I bought 350 Dum-Dum pops. Can't afford good candy with all the trick or treaters we get. Also we'd have started eating the candy last week. To my surprise many kids, and adults, like the pops. Hey I'm coming to your house for a full bar!

I've got popcorn balls for the kids who show up earlier. (I always have "little kid" type of candy available, too.) I've also got some non-food items for the kids with allergies (want a glow-in-the-dark spider?). We've got the bite-sized candy for when the popcorn balls are gone. I miss the old-fashioned homemade popcorn balls (mine are the prepackaged kind).

I miss the old-fashioned homemade popcorn balls (mine are the prepackaged kind). tmr bursts out crying... I wanted to eat my candy! PLEASE take the spider out! That was thoughtful of you, to get something for the kids with allergies! I have booth candy and a few non food things. But unfortunately, it's not because I'm thoughtful. It just worked out that way. You know those things, kind of like a whistle. You hold it in your teeth and blow? I got some of those that are lips... But the ones I got have FANGS! Good huh? LOL I also got a bunch of those packages with soft JUJU fruit in them (made from real fruit!). They have a liquid center. Mmm-mmm I love them! I think I better have a pkg now, to see if they are good enough for the trick or treaters!

I do TRICK or treat. We save up all the soy sauce, duck sauce, and other condiment packets from the year. I bury the condiments down in the bottom of my candy bowl. when a kid comes to the door, distract them by chatting them up about their costumes while shuffling your hand around the candy bowl. Grab a piece of candy and a condiment. Bury your hand in their bag to put the candy in, so when they look in the bag, they can't see the condiment pack. Crack jokes about how much candy they have to distract them again. when they get home & their candy out, they'll never figure out what house gave them soy sauce (so you won't get egged). I learned this little trick from my witch of an aunt in Virginia.

I forgot to get candy and I just got back from taking DS trick or treating at the mall. I have to drop him off at his dad's at 3 and he's napping now, so can't get candy until after 3. Seeing as TOT will end around 5 or 6, I'm considering putting a NO CANDY sign next to my doorbell.

I was at Wally World yesterday, & they already had their Thanksgiving food out in front (stuffing, ingredients for green bean casserole, etc.)!
I miss the old days when we just did one holiday at a time...

Going to rain here so the zero chance of getting trick or treaters is now less than zero.
Definitely leftover candy here

It's going to rain here too, but DH is still taking DS around and I will be hanging back to hopefully pass out necklaces, vampire teeth and eye patches(if we actually get trick or treaters this year, rained last year too ).

I went over board, bags of fun size chocolate. Looking at it now I have way too much candy for the number of houses with kids. Now that Dh works from home, I have no where to send it either.

Just got done at Target buying my makeup and nail polish for tonight... And CANDY!!! I want to do a smoky eye with red on top but I also know nothing about make up. I was in the middle of the makeup isle looking really confused and internally screaming "HELP ME!!!"

Been quiet here, my mom got way too much candy. Seems to be quiet all over town from what I'm seeing on the book face, but it's picking up a bit now. Salem is probably a complete cluster right now and I'm glad I'm nowhere near it. DH is working a wedding tonight (as he usually does Saturdays) and was bummed at the prospect of yet another year and another Halloween wedding with absolutely zero Halloween theme to it. I'm sitting upstairs doing homework trying not to fall asleep and counting down the hours until November

We had 10 or 12 Trick or Treaters at our house. DH took one of our grandkids to our church. They have Trunk Or Treat so he gave out a bunch of candy! I think I bought 8 big bags of bite siz chocolate.
We were helping at a huge yard sale today and I was tired si I stayed home to hand out candy. Not many kids but I finished laundry!

It's 7:15 here now and haven't had any kids at all. Glad I didn't buy candy ....... I would be wearing it.
The town is having a Hallowe'en party on the main street so all the kids are down there. It's a lot safer for them and their parents can have fun also.

I don't do Halloween. I live at the bottom of a long, dark driveway, so no one comes here anyway.
Plus, I live by myself at the bottom of that long, dark driveway, so I think it would probably be unwise to encourage visits from strangers in masks.
I wish I had a glow-in-the-dark spider, though.

I was in Target yesterday and they were taking down all the Halloween stuff and putting up Christmas stuff. When I questioned the clerk about why you couldn't buy Halloween stuff before Halloween they were snotty and told me Halloween was done and it was now Christmas. They were so rude I don't see myself doing any Christmas shopping there.
We are having monsoon rains this evening and I live on a boring street (most of the houses are dark) so I have only had 6 trick or treaters so far.

It's raining hard here. So far only 5 kids. So we have most of 4 bags of candy left. Sometimes older kids come late, so we will see.
