When the group that came to the office was leaving, before the door was shut tight, I heard one of the boys - maybe 10-11 or so - say "unbelievable!" referring to the fact that I had nothing for them. :rolleyes: And this was one of them without a costume. :rolleyes:

In Southern Florida, I think it was Miami but maybe not, the mayor tried to discourage trick or treating because there were still power lines down all over the place. One 12 year old they interviewed on the radio said this "Are you kidding? Once a year we get to take candy from strangers, the rest of the year we're told we can't take candy from strangers. So this is the one time of year we can take candy from strangers and they're telling us to stay home? I don't think so!" :D :D

Trick or Treating here was from 6 to 8. At 7:30 it seemed everyone was done for the night, so we headed inside but left the porch light on.

At 8, Andy and I started to take off our costumes when there was a knock at the door. A kid that had dressed as Vader was back with his mom and a camera and wanted pictures with us. :D

Andy had most of his put away, but I still had most of my costume on and was happy to oblige.

Then the other kid with a GWB mask wanted to pose for some pictures.

So I had her get on her knees with her hands behind her head and aimed my blaster at her head. :eek: :D

The mom was thrilled and we all had a good laugh.

I wish I could get a copy but we didn't exchange email addresses.

That is so neat, Kimmie! :)

We had about a dozen, all total, and I was "home alone" and my dogs were having a fit with just the little bit of commotion caused by that! Even Murphy, who is deaf as a post, was pacing and prancing at the gate. They all four lined up at the gate so that they could see the front door and check it all out. The most precious were my two little "friends" from next door, a Princess (3 years old) and a football player (1 year old). OMG! They are the reason I even got a bag of candy because I love them so much and I knew they would come by. :)

Same here. We always but a bag of candy, just incase we do get any kids. We didn't get any kids this year though. One year we had one trick-or-treater, but we never have any other year.

We've never had any in the 3 yrs we've lived at this house. There aren't many in my neighborhood to begin with, but then add a steep, long driveway in and I wouldn't want to come up either ;)

We got about 150. It wasnt buisy this year because there was a thunderstorm,and it rained most the night...

We got quite a few but no one counted. Went through atleast thru 8 bags of HUGE bags of candy. I believe the bags were 400 count. :eek: I put out a plastic pumpkin full of milkbones for the doggies, too.

One little girl was Dorthy and was walking her Cairn around. :D

We had 6, and I didnt even hand out candy. I was crying too much.. :(

Had about 70... then we ran out of candy, otherwise we would have had tons more, I couldn't believe all the kids that were out here last night!

We had about30 My Daughter and her hubby came over as they never get any one(16miles off any road DUH)we had pizza and played cards and old time radio shows. She and I dressed up as serving wenches.
I just want to know whats up with the blood dripping masks this year ? Had it on teens but on wee ones it was awful. Daughters favorite was a very tiny (2-3)cowboy with six shooters and chaps he was cute she missed the best Little to small to walk in a Dalmation costume in dads arms.
Heres last years pic same costumes.

We had 26 - yes, I counted, plus one canine (he got a biscuit, not chocolate). I *love* handing out the candy. The 5 kids from next door were first, then there was a tyke - maybe four years old, if that, from down the street. She was a pink fairy, complete with magic wand, blonde whispy hair and big blue eyes. You have to climb a flight of stairs to get to my porch, and when she was two steps from the top, I opened the door, and she said (honest to goodness) "Twick-or-tweet?"

What more could anyone want! Everyone was polite, lots of original costumes, and a nice night.

Miss Hoppy opted out this year, and napped inside instead of greeting visitors.

We had a few families and some out on their own but I found yelling "hang on a minute just got to muzzle the dog" scared them away!

I wore a mask that looked like my mouth was stapled open. I scared Superman, almost made a Princess cry, and Darth Vader threatened to chop off my head.
