Have You Had Many Trick-or-Treaters? - Page 5

I had a lot of Trick or Treaters. Up till 9p.m. with the older kids. My favorite was a set of identical triplet boys dressed all the same as Spiderman.

We didn't get any, but my brother and SIL live 2 streets over from me and they got 800 kids!

Their street is very wide and everyone decorates to the extreme! It is like a street fair with police at either end of the street to help with traffic and making sure the kids can cross safely.

The costumes are amazing and even the dogs come in costume!

Lots of fun. Reminds me of when we were kids and our neighborhoods were packed with trick-or-treaters.

Yes, quite a few. We live in a rural small country addition. There are only 50 homes in our circled neighborhood.We had around 65. We are between 2 cities and I'm thinking people thought it would be safer here. Also we know most of our neighbors...many which are friends...so we had parents and grandparents bringing their treak or treators here. Years ago it was more like 100. These days safety, I think, is a real concern for a lot of people.

Wow, did we ever have a swarm of trick-or treaters this year: 60 of them! My husband always thinks we'll have a lot, when at the most we ever had in the 20+ years we've lived her, is about 20 kids. If I added up the number over the last five years, it still would be way under 60 combined.

We were running out of candy and had to go into our pantry to find some snacks, just in case. Luckily, we had a few pieces of candy left and we ended up throwing out a bunch of stale and expired snacks, so that's something.

Had none but saw a group of 5 kids dressed up---heard them in the breezeway but they didn't knock on doors--I live in an apartment.

We don't get trick or treaters. We are not a gated community but we're off the road in park like atmosphere. It's dark. But there were more kids than usual out in town. My niece and grandson came back loaded. A lot of people gave full size candy bars and baggies full of candy. Now to get rid of it.....

CANDLEQUEEN · ‎03-09-2010

We only got 6, it was snowing and icy and hail was coming down, so it was a messy, nasty night here, so I think a lot of kids stayed home, or did other things.....

My granddaughters, who live about 1 1/2 hours North of us had snow as well, but no hail and ice, so they had a lot of fun and there were lots of kids out.

We normally don't get many kids by us anyway, but last night was so few!!!!It was so cold as well......

Our church did a "Trunk or Treat." We had so much fun! DH decorated our car, and I dressed as a good witch. When the kids came near the car they stepped on a mat that laughed. They entered my "lair," and took candy from a box that creaked when you opened it. We had a singing pumpkin we bought here last year before Halloween. It was a hit then, and it was tonight. It's one of the best Halloween decorations we've ever bought!

We served hot chocolate, cider, and cookies. We had about 300 children.

At home, I left a box of candy at the middle of our driveway with a sign. It was about half gone.

After we got home I ate my traditional Halloween chili and watched a Halloween episode of Friends.

It was fun!
