It's all over here. We had 52, a couple more than last year. The 1st 2 were giraffes, same costume, but they were not together. I think my fave costume was a little girl wearing a football uniform, complete with helmet. No one around here plays football so it was different to see.

We never get any. In our old house, we had several hundered every year. We lived on a dead end street. At one point, we had 58 kids between the ages of 9 months and 16 yrs, ON THE BOTTOM END OF THE STREET ONLY! We never could count the rest of the street!

Trick or Treaters??
Q

Last night I got about 150 trick or treaters. I wore Lauren's donkey costume and got called "Donkey" from Shrek, a horse...and got my picture taken by parents 6 or 7 times. LOL. My favorite trick or treater was a little girl about 3 who just kept taking handful after handful of candy from my bowl. I had to raise the bowl to the other kids because I didn't think she was going to stop. lol. Most kids only took one piece even when I said "take a couple". My least favorite kid, about 9 or 10 who asked if I could see in that (meaning my donkey head) and when I nodded he told me if I couldn't he was going to take more candy. I had older teens too. I also found one corner of my post outside knocked out onto the sidewalk this morning. It's been loose for a while but I wedged it back in there. The last half hour I still had lots of candy leftover and gave out handfuls, still had some leftover.

Trick or Treat hours are 4:30 to 8 p.m. in our town. We stay dark now, after sitting and waiting and getting only a maximum of ten kids the last year we participated. (Houses on 1 - 10 acres.) Seems to me Halloween is *always* windy and rainy; it was here, but is to be in the 70's later this week. Our DIL's parents live in a Chicago neighborhood where there are plenty of kids plus those bused in from poor neighborhoods. They spend $500 a year on candy!

What do you give your trick or treaters?

I really like the coco mix idea! Our lights are out on Halloween, but I put together a bag for my sprites every year. I always include non candy items like temporary tattoos, glitter gel pens, spider rings, hand painted Halo tangerines and baby pumpkins. They both love "hot" things, so I make a mix of spicy pretzels, hot nuts, hot and spicy cheez-it crackers in which I add an extra dusting of wasabi powder. Candy corn and Halloween M&Ms added to my mix make it hot and sweet! Those girls love it! (And so do the adults.) As for the sweet stuff, anything goes. They will love the hot coco mixes.

How many trick or treaters?
Q

We've lived here through 16 Halloweens. We've stayed 'dark' the last ten, after getting between zero and ten children. Wouldn't you know, last afternoon about five p.m. we had a group of eight small boys with someone's big brother, then a pair of little girls, big enough to be out alone. We had no decorations and no lights inside or out, but it wasn't dark *out* yet, so they didn't realize we weren't 'doing' Halloween. Wah! Next year I will resume just-in-case-candy mode. Maybe our neighborhood is changing more than I realized. This is an area of houses set back on two to ten acre lots. The street has dim 'gas' lights, spaced far apart. The city allows trick-or-treating from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. DGS and DGD go out from their other grandparents' house. There are mostly 20-foot-frontage lots in the city. LOTS of kids -- local and 'imported'. TONS of candy. Whole new 'pathways' are created, shortest distance between doorsteps.

We only had 4 here. I was expecting an additional 20 or so like we had last year... so we have lots of leftover candy.

It was an okay Halloween for us. In terms of the truly scary, we only had one scary-as-hell adult and one adolescent thug show up at our door. We also had about 60 kids, most of whom were bused in from the 'hood about 1/2 mile away. They parked right in front of our house (four minivans with 10+ people per van) and then stopped at our house coming and going. Yeah - twice.

Next year, I'm opting out. It's just not what it used to be.
