Are you going Trick-or-Treating??

No... I'm 20.

And actually, I'm working anyway.

Happy Halloween everyone! I have gone to Halloween parties the last four or five years, and, love that! This is the first year in a long time, I don't have a specific costume, and, only briefly dressed up Friday night to go to a party. I don't remember the last year I actually went trick-or-treating, though, but, I do remember the last time I passed out candy to a lot of kids. I lived with my husband (now, ex) in Olympia, Washington, and, we got a lot of trick-or-treaters. I think it was about 9 years ago. Since then, I can't remember ever getting very many kids coming by...not in Olympia, Virginia, Texas, or here...it's just not as popular anymore, from the looks of it. People are scared nowadays.

Ever since that urban myth about the razor blade in the apple...oy. But, we have candy here, just in case.

I will be sitting on the porch passing out candy. I loved trick or treating as a child and I enjoy passing out the candy as an adult. I just love seeing all the kids in their costumes. They are so cute!

I was just telling Anna that Katie and Tori are always on the chair and up in the big picture window and it is quite a site and the kids love it...adults too! Always lots of oohhhing and awwwing and pointing...lol. We have even had a few trick or treaters ask if they can come in to pet them. The pups love the attention!

How could I be so stupid? Do I really need to "start thinking" of a costume for my son for next year? NO! He should be a chicken nugget!!! LOL So now all I have to do is somehow find a baby-sized nugget costume...

... Anyone got any ideas?

Ha ha, you'd be better off probably making one.

Or having one made. I just pictured soft, pliable wire holding the material in shape, your baby's face peeking out from a hole...and, little dipping sauce buckets for shoes...ha ha! Or even a chicken nugget box with a nugget hat.

Well the girls had a blast, a lot of fun, it is only really taking off in NZ now, I had no callers but next year I am going to make sure I do by inviting them in with glowing pumpkins or something on the gates , a few houses had this so the kids knew they were wanting some Halloween visitors, they got lots and lots of sweets, and even some money, a good time was had by all, I enjoy seeing the kids walking the streets all dressed up as well, bit of a novelty still here.

**dogzr#1** · 10-31-2005, 07:13 PM

Nope, I'm not going to trick or treat. We don't celebrate Halloween.

Note to self: I have one year to become resourceful and creative so that I can create a nugget costume for Nug. (NO dipping sauce necessary though - Wendy's nuggets don't need it! LOL)

**Flatcoatluver** · 10-31-2005, 07:36 PM

everybody's plans sound so much fun!

You're so right! They are awesome...although I do end up still getting ranch.

That comes from six years in Texas, though...they put ranch on everything!

I love ranch on everything too and I was born and bred in Maryland. I put it on fries, pizza, etc. Just not Wendy's nuggets. I don't want to do anything to alter the wonderful, perfect blend of spices that make up my legal crack fix.
