Trick or Treaters...?

We got our two pumpkin lanterns stolen last night.  I don't know whether to be upset or pleased that I did such a good job of carving them that somone would steal them.  We had a load of them last night - about 75 at the door.  The 5:30 - 7pm ones were the young kids dressed up with the parents loitering at the end of the path.  Then as the evening progressed the older teens and even adults (15 to 25 I think!!) just turned up in masks and hoodies and were a little scary to be honest.  We just let them take as much as they wanted out of the bowl and shut the door as fast as possible.

Doodle bops!!! I used to watch them. they're kind of scary if you really think about it, people dressed up in body paint and clown costumes and plastic wigs-their songs are about sharing and finding adventures. i think blues clues or dora is less frightening, though.

I love Halloween.  I enjoy it the most because it is my new year, but I also enjoy dressing up and generally having a good time.  It's the one time of year I can dress the way I want to without people making snarky comments.  I love fall weather and the changing leaves as well.  I've always been a big Halloween person, it's become more and more important to me recently, though.

I call it Halloween. I was raised in Michigan although I live in Georgia now. Back in MI we dressed in costumes and went Trick-or-Treating. Many churches had Harvest Parties or gatherings to offer an alternative to celebrating Halloween, which is believed by many to be a festival of death and demons. In many Latin countries it is parallel to "Day of the Dead", or Dia de los Muertos, or a remembrance of those who are now gone from the earth but remain with us in spirit.

Try this idea..........For halloween we take a walk around the block with the kids and adults that want to go.....Everytime we come to a house that is empty and for sale, one of us makes up a story as to why they are moving, or who died there, or who was murdered there...........Some of our made up stoies are quite elaborate........they can be funny, sad or downright  gruesome.\nIt.s up to the storyteller to hold the interest of all.  Good luck!

I was totally irritated by the fact that there were more teens in casual clothing with supermarket bags trick or treating than little kids in costumes. Maybe this is why there were less houses offering treats than in years past, my kids had to stay out a little longer and wlk a little further and still weren't able to fill their bags.

Gosh Rick.......\n\nYou came to my house and got the idea for this question didn't you? Ohhh admit it. *sigh* I didn't actually do it on purpose.....I'm just so busy that I'm about 2 months behind on everything. So it was valentines day and we prayed to baby jesus. Ok the kids forgave me for that one. It was shouting happy new year during the St. Paddy's day parade that they couldn't get into. But I gotta say.........we had the best Easter egg hunt ANYONE ever could have on Memorial Day.  I can't wait for the 4th of July so we can go trick or treating. See ya then!!!

What about the girls dressing like fantasy characters, like tinkerbell, fairys, elves, princesses. I'm seeing wands, fairy dust, castles, very large pieces of candy. Of course, snow.\n\nHope this helps. Just have fun.

Ask them for their phone numbers so you can call their parents.  You can also call the cops and they will pick them up and take them home.  My guess is the parents are not saying it is ok.  It's kids like that will take the fun out of trick or treating.  Those are bad little ghosts and goblins.  You were too nice, I would've said "beat it!"  right away.
