That is priceless....We were really disappointed- had only 14 kids come. A mix of young to teenagers... We made up small plastic bags with 3 candy bars in each bag....One teen girl in a group of 5 said she liked my hair, so I told her she gets a extra bag for that and her friend immediately said 'I like your shirt' so she got a extra bag too! lol... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-trick-or-treaters#post-243056 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 16:14:11 +0000 Carole 243056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We just had a hand full, such a nice clear evening here, which is unusual.</p> <p>I got a kick out of my daughter who had two different costumes for the weekend. She is a college student and lives with 7 other girls. They went as Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs, my daughter was Happy! And for the next party they went as Party Animals, she was a tiger and wore a party hat! Oh, to be young again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-trick-or-treaters#post-243041 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 15:34:24 +0000 Queen Mum 243041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We went to our friends' house and played cards while the kids went trick-or-treating. They probably had 75 kids come by. I honestly don't mind seeing teenagers trick-or-treating. They enjoy going with their friends and it is good honest fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-trick-or-treaters#post-243039 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 15:30:11 +0000 Katja 243039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We had 8. There are now 3 bags of candy in the freezer. That's not good.</p> <p>I hear you can make hot chocolate by melting a couple of candy bars in milk. That's also not good, because then you're still eating the chocolate bars. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-trick-or-treaters#post-243036 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 15:12:14 +0000 Beth 243036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When we lived in the city, we had floods of kids (and sometimes scary adults) for hours. I don't even want to think of how much I spent on candy. It was great. We'd mix drinks and sit out on the porch with all the neighbors.</p> <p>Now in the country, we don't have a single trick-or-treater. We live far off the road and houses are at a distance. No walking here...they'd have to drive. I still put out the pumpkin and candles just in case. Last night DH went out the back and snuck up to the front door to bang on the knocker. He's such a goofball.</p> <p>I still buy candy, though. I just eat it myself. :O </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-trick-or-treaters#post-243027 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 14:59:00 +0000 Marigold 243027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thumbs up for the ghastly grandpa! I have a 1.5 year old that doesn't eat candy (long story), so we didn't go trick-or-treating. Instead, we made a trip to the mall where we saw LOADS of kids (and parents) dressed up and getting candy. I didn't even know you can t-o-t'ing at a mall, LOL, but it's a great idea for cold weather...<br /> We're definitely going to do dressup and trick-or-treat next year, hopefully Munchkin will pick her own costume! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-trick-or-treaters#post-243019 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 14:50:09 +0000 Lisa 243019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow ghastly grandpa looks great! We had ~50-60 kids stop by, but only a few doorbell rings. They come in groups of 15-20 at a time. The best costume I saw was Rapunzel complete with long hair for the girls and Robocop for the boys. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-trick-or-treaters#post-243016 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 14:46:12 +0000 Sparky 243016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We live on a great street for trick or treating, but unfortunately most of the kids living here have aged out of it. Currently there are only two families with elementary-school-aged kids, and we're one of them. Another family joins us (tradition) and we still have a merry time going up and down our street. The neighbors love seeing the kids' costumes and we get to chat for a few minutes to catch up. Everyone has lit jack-o-lanterns and lights on, so it's a festive atmosphere.</p> <p>This year there were the two groups that we expected (total of 7 kids), then one middle-school-aged group (large, about 12 kids) came by right after we got back. DH always makes sure I stock up on candy "just in case" ~ and then "takes care of" the leftovers. </p> <p>Best costume I saw last night was one of my kids, who was a chocolate chip cookie. I may be a wee bit biased, but he was the fastest cookie I've ever seen (dashing to every house) and the most adorable, especially when some of his chocolate chips accidentally shed as he ran. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-trick-or-treaters#post-242975 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 13:46:18 +0000 shana 242975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah, what a cute picture! That is one ghastly grandpa!!</p> <p>The houses on our street are set far back from the road and the children and few and far between so we don't usually get many trick or treaters. We went to a friends for trick or treating and saw lots of cute costumes. My favorite was a homemade pippi longstockings - complete with cute red pigtails that stuck out horizontally!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-trick-or-treaters#post-242974 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 13:44:48 +0000 chewyspaghetti 242974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We didn't have many, but that was good because we didn't have much candy. DS had fun handing it out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-trick-or-treaters#post-242939 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 11:36:32 +0000 Debora 242939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We had a ton of trick or treaters last night! Lots of little princesses, action heroes, and scary ghouls. It was especially fun because our daughter was home visiting for the weekend, and our 16 year old son finally decided that he was too old to trick or treat. He stayed home to hand out candy - in costume.</p> <p>Here's our ghastly grandpa doling out the goodies. Not to worry, we made him remove his mask for the littlest ones! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-trick-or-treaters#post-242934 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 11:09:12 +0000 Kristine 242934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We probably had 40 or 50. Cute costumes! A few babies that had to be carried, one was a monkey and one was a pumpkin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-trick-or-treaters#post-242923 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 08:39:33 +0000 Louise 242923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We didn't get any. My friend's street has an unwritten rule that if you're happy to have T or T's you put a pumpkin or some sort of candle in your window or on your drive. Though she only got 1 she thinks it's because al the kids in the street are getting too old x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-trick-or-treaters#post-242872 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 04:33:38 +0000 MsMary 242872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had about 40 kids in maybe half a dozen big groups. I gave out generous handfuls and went through most of two big bags of candy. They were all very cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-trick-or-treaters#post-242869 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 04:19:45 +0000 bella 242869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is the very first year that we had a million kids! We lived up the block from our current apartment until this past summer and not a single kid showed up at our door. This year, our upstairs neighbors, who have an adorable 1 year old (dressed as the cutest pumpkin!), did a wonderful job with the decorating the building and handed out candy from about 5 to 8pm. When they ran out of candy, it was our turn! We finished 2 big bags of candy in about minutes! It was very quick so I couldn't really pay too much attention to all the kids' costumes, but some of them were really adorable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-trick-or-treaters#post-242868 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 04:13:43 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 242868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We had no T or T'ers and I don't have kids so.... It was a night of scary movies for us! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-trick-or-treaters#post-242867 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 04:07:43 +0000 marianna 242867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We had ZERO! We bought lots of candy because we have tons of kids in our condo complex... but no one came! So odd.</p> <p>Guess who will be eating that candy now? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-trick-or-treaters#post-242860 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 03:47:16 +0000 Aida 242860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We got 1 only Cool hockey player costume though. I should've given him a huge handful of candy since he was the only one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-trick-or-treaters#post-242837 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 03:15:23 +0000 Sveta 242837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We usually get only a handful of kids. I live in a court off a dead end street in the 50-year old area with a lot of original residents...so not too many kids for us :-(<br /> My "kids" are at universities now...doing different kind of trick I am sure </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-trick-or-treaters#post-242832 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 03:11:01 +0000 Kate 242832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We just had our first batch of kids, about 6 of them (some looked a bit old for trick or treating, but whatever) and they said they liked our cats. I was so overwhelmed by the whole thing I didn't quite notice what all of their costumes were. I'm not sure how many more we'll be getting since we live in an area with a lot of college students, but we have a jack-o-lantern out and porch light on, and a bowl full of candy waiting!</p> <p>Did you get a lot of trick-or-treaters? Any amazing costumes? How was taking your (grand)kids trick-or-treating? </p>
