Halloween experiences

[K9soul]

Though of course while we were hanging out outside the dogs were inside left to their own devices. I left Hannah's diaper bag open and they pulled EVERYTHING out of it... found the baggie filled with goldfish and cheerios and polished that off lol. so they played a trick and got their own treats lol

Sounds like they made the best of it . Things are slowing down here now but I've definitely gone through a lot more candy than last year. I had to slow down and stop giving 2-3 pieces to each kid.

same here... near the end we had to start giving only one peice lol. I bet we have less than ten pieces of candy left. We were starting to look around the house to see if we had anything else to give out just in case lol

Great thread idea!

First one was 520, had to shut off my light at 7:40 and I was all out. I had 4 left and that last group was . . . NINE CHILDREN! So we all agreed the youngest four could have them.

I don't give candy, haven't for years. This year I had small 24-page Halloween activity books. Came in a package of 72. Connect the dots, mazes, set of photos find the 2 the same, things like that. Small, fit in the palm of my hand. Here is a link, in case anyone in interested for the future.

I love seeing the little ones, I had a very cute Tyrannosaurus Rex, a Dragon, Bumble bee and a few others - the under 6 year old set!

After attending a carnival at our church, I took our daughter (Hannah Montana tonight) around the neighborhood while the husband took the 13 year old boy child to a party. I took our 8 month old puppy, Boomer, with us. He was such a little chicken dog.....so scared of the lit up pumpkins and of all the goblins running around......but, I think he enjoyed himself!

We had a costume contest at work today and I won second place. I was Cindy Lou Who from the 1966 cartoon How The Grinch Stole Christmas. Many people, including one of my co-workers, always calls me Cindy Lou Who so I thought it would be a good costume.

It is 6:10 right now and we have not had one trick or treater. Of course it's not really dark out yet. I plan on posting pics tomorrow of how we decorated our house and maybe even one of me dressed up. This would be a first photo of me here on PT. But we shall wait and see if I don't chicken out.

I hope we get to see the costume! Sounds like a lot of fun! Most the kids here seem done now, I only got a handful after 7 and now it is almost 8:30 and I haven't had any in quite awhile.
