    How many kids did you get last night?

    We got home a little late after picking up my step son from his hockey practice. Didn't start handing out candy until 6:15 which accounts for my lower numbers this year. I had 208 kids.

    I actually didn't think to count the kids, but we went thru two bowls of candy. Andy and I got into our Star Wars costumes and stood outside with Dan while he passed out candy. Stood still like statues and scared a few adults.

    OH MY LORD! I was going to start a similar thread.
    My nieghborhood (sp) has become a zoo.
    2 years ago we got about 6 kids....
    Last year I went out to dinner and came home late so I didn't have to give out candy.... but last night.... geez!
    I gave 14 bags of candy (3 huge bowls full).... to about 170 kids.
    Most were from other areas.... piled up in the back of pickup trucks and carted in.... there were even kids hanging off of golf carts.
    What happened to the good ol fashioned walking door to door like I used to do as a kid. We'd get home tired as can be but very happy!
    Kids like me because I am very generous.... don't get me wrong I enjoy doing it but was glad when it was over.

    Unfortunately we live out of town and there are no little kids around so we never get any.
    But at my work the employees brought their kids in and we had a halloween party for them. They had a blast and were totally adorable. Of course I had to have some pictures

    Anyone else get pictures???

    We get hundreds, people drive to our neighborhood to trick or treat...there are no cars allowed in driveways because of cc&r's and on halloween night there are cars everywhere

    I don't mind at all as long as everyone is nice...if the kids live in an unsafe neighborhood to trick or treat I am glad they have some place to go.
    don't breed or buy while shelter dogs die....

    Thanks Kfamr for the signature!

    Yes, that's 1 as in one - a little devil out with her dad.

    It's so disappointing because Terry gets all excited and worked up and just loves when somebody comes to the door. Finally at 9:00 pm last night he gave up hope and closed the door and turned off the hall light.

    I had a group come to the door at work, which has never happened in the 13 years I've been here, so I didn't have anything for them! However, I didn't feel too bad because only one of them had a costume on. How do you go trick or treating without a costume? In my opinion, no costume no treat!

    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 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.

    It looks like so much fun!!!

    Stood still like statues and scared a few adults.
    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.
    Bad,very bad girls !
