Our youngest always used to dress up and go round the close for treats - she and her friends would have a whale of a time whilst we fielded the kids following after.

Not sure I'd encourage the grandkids to do it though.

Aww come on minksie- You just need to come with Tim and I for Halloween! We have so much fun going to haunted houses and trick or treating & all. We have a pumpkin carving party- we have a blast!

What was a quiet cul-de-sac on the edge of town 18 years ago is now a main road in the middle of a village.

Where we know everbody Rachael would be calling on then we know none of our neighbours now.

I couldn't ever explain to middle daughter that we thought her sons were safe.

i love halloween....i just ordered this headless horseman from legend of sleepy hollow....

IM going to be Snooze Control.

It wouldn't be the adventure it was to Rachael - off on her own (with friends but that didn't count) in the dark at 5 years old - she insisted on keeping the ritual until she reached 9 or 10.

Either way, with 'rents or without. . . every kid should get to experience trick or treating!

I love Halloween. We go to a hanuted mansion for a party every year. I make my own costumes and usually win first prize. One year I built a coffin that I could walk in and it was the talk of the party. I guess it's getting close I better get to work on a new costume.

Oh that is a GREAT comment!

Are you saying that she's scary? :rolleyes:

:D

Not really a big festival in Australia, possibly partly because we're not in punkin season here. But a few trick or treaters do come round. I've got a witch's hat stashed somewhere. Grin. I spent one Halloween in Iola, in the Flint Hills of Kansas. That was really neat!!!

I love autumn and Halloween. I take my niece and nephews to Tarrytown, NY (Sleepy Hallow) to see their parade, they feature a headless horseman, then I usually go into NYC to see the adult Halloween parade in the Village (they feature...well, you can imagine... )..

Love Trick-or-Treating! Last year my uncle threw a Halloween party and my best friend and I went wearing army shirts..ny little brother was dressed up like a little army guy. Then I went trick-or-treating with my best friend and we were cowgirls with the freckles and everything. Stoped at a few houses that said we were too old to be out, then one of the last houses we stoped at this old lady looked at me and said "OH SHE'S A LITTLE PIRATE!!!" It was pretty funny, all I said was "yeaaahh..." There were a lot of pirates.

There aren't any kids where we live..........or should I say our houses are too far apart. We will go to the elementary school and make fun with the kids with our haunted house influence. Dang I miss the kids. We may go to an adult party too.

I usually take the kids trick or treating earlier in the evening , so I'm home to hand out the candy later on. But around 9 the older kids start coming by which is good because by then I'm tired and I just dump the rest of the candy in thier bags. I don't need it since my kids have usually made a haul with candy themselves.

Ok so I wanna know, how many of you went through your kids bags and kept the good stuff for yourself? Come who stole the good chocolates?

EEEEEEEK Halloween this year scares me. Four days after Halloween this year is my due date and right now my biggest fear is that I am going to have him on Halloween!! I dont want that one bit. If anyone knew his daddy they would understand.....his child is going to be bad enough!! So this halloween I will be sitting in a dark corner keeping my fingers crossed!!

We are boring..we shut all the lights, lock the doors, and just sit back and watch television all evening.
