What are you going to do for Halloween?

I just found out there is a Halloween radio.

Turn the lights off and pretend no one is home. Not into it. Never got to participate much when we were kids, too dangerous in our neighborhood. We will probably take grandkids out anyway.

Fly home from Dallas. Don't get any trick or treaters anyway. We are just outside of the city.

When my boys were little, we'd carve pumpkins and decorate. I escorted the kids (not just mine) and the wife put on a costume and passed out candy. 150+ kids sometimes. It was a blast.

That was nearly 20 years ago. Kids grew up and moved on. Pretty quiet since then. Turned off the lights and watched a movie. But, like most neighborhoods, the old move out and the young move in. Even with the lights out last year, there were 6 groups that knocked on my door. Didn't answer, had no candy.

There's definitely more kids in the neighborhood and on the corners waiting for the school bus this year. Part of me wants to buy some candy and see if anyone shows up. The other part of me wants to be that crazy recluse and scare the crap out of them. Lol.

I will go to daughter's house early to get the pre-trick or treating photos of the grandkids. That is barring any rain or temper meltdowns. We usually have about 25 kids show up at our house if the weather is nice.

Me and my family will be visiting my grandparents house and will be having dinner.

Hope everyone has a safe and fun evening, no matter how you're participating.

We want an easy supper that doesn't require our attention - probably Chinese takeout.

I could totally go for some sesame noodles right about now.

We don't get any trick or treat'rs at our house. We're on a busy street with too many cars for little ones to be out running around. Everyone uses the streets behind us - they're pretty quiet since they back up to a golf course so not used as pass throughs - mostly just residents. Everyone will be sitting out on their porches with their "hot chocolate" or "coffee" in their hot/cold cups chatting with the parents and seeing all the little neighborhood kids running from door to door. Used to take Princess and hang out with the neighbors while she ran around with the other kids... I miss those days! This year she is going to a High School party (eek). I'll be dropping her off and picking her up so I can confirm the parents are home (jeez mom how embarrassing!) and make sure she and her friends all get home safely (you're so over protective!) While she's at the party I'll be out having dinner with a friend and watching a bit of the World Series game 6.
Here are some Halloween pics of Princess over the years for your amusement:

not Princess!

She is just too cute!!

Let the record show, I just had my first batch of trick or treaters at 6:09 PM - the sun is still out, fer cryin' out loud!

Lights will be going out early this year, methinks.
