Spin off - how much candy do you give out?

[Freedom]

Well over 300 IF I wanted to! I stop at 75. That is usually the local children, and the youngest ones.

We have them come by th ecar loads from down city PRovidence, up to age 18 and NO costumes. I refuse to cooperate.

I do not give out candy, never have. High bounce super balls, wooden airplanes, toothbrushes (NOT a big hit except with the parents!), activity books, stickers, coloring books. I order on line in Sept while the prices are still discounted.

Anyone still give out popcorn balls? Gawd, I hated those things when I was a kid and soon learned which houses to avoid. Maybe they did it on purpose?

We get alot of kids here, ALOT of kids. Our neighborhood is very popular, this year I planned on sitting outside with Mikey and giving out candy because I didn't think I made Fright Fest, and I didn't want to trick or treat. I did last year though But low and behold I DID make Fright Fest and am working this halloween. I get paid to scare the crap outta people all night, sounds much better then what I originally planned even though I love my pup.

My mom lost count last year of how many people we got. She stopped somewhere around 66

We live in a medium sized development, BUT, our driveway is a private road with four houses and it's a pretty good pitch downhill. It gets pretty dark down there for kids, I think, and we don't get a huge number. The neighborhood has a party at the playground/park area and then the kids go from there, but it's supposed to be over by 7:45 I think (we have no children).

My husband usually buys about 4 bags of candy bars; we generally go through most of that. He sits out front with his monster feet and hands on, with a big metal bowl of candy; I feel bad for him when we get basically no kids - he really looks forward to it!
