Well that plan didn't work. ldc got home from ToTing with the kids and saw how much we had left and was out front like a carnival barker "We have lots of candy left down here!" I made fun of her for sounding like a creepy pedo "Come to my house we have candy" but she couldn't be stopped. We have none left.Originally posted by HuskyFreeNorthwest View PostGet confident, stupid

I bought a ton of candy given the turnout of the past couple of years, but the numbers just weren't there this year. Toward the end of the night I started giving out handfuls of candy to try to get rid of it (the kids who cheered for my BYU shirt got huge handfuls), but we still had half of a bowl leftover. I guess I'll take the leftover candy to work and give it to the horde.Originally posted by HuskyFreeNorthwest View PostNot that, sickos.Comment

Only one set of trick or treaters so far. A lot of renters in this neighborhood so not may kids.Comment

Our first trick or treating experience in Texas. I love how everyone here sets up chairs in their driveways with a bowl of candy and just people watch. Kids had to knock on very few doors. It was awesome.Comment

Halloween in Texas is awesome. Gorgeous weather and fun communities. Most people do the same here as well lawn chairs in the driveway while others walk down the street with wine glasses.Originally posted by LiveCoug View Post"Discipleship is not a spectator sport.

It would sometimes be nice to be a Jehovah's Witness for today only. Don,t have to take kids trick or treating or hand out candy yourself. Community has trunk or treat and Hot Dog Chilli feed. I went to that. Someone gave me piece of Candy there. Didn't,t do spook alleys or haunted houses. No candy in house. Had to turn a couple trick or treaters away. A few years ago I took all the Candy to trunk or treat, it was all gone so I gave soup instead. Didn't this year.Comment

People do it here in SC. No one did it in Georgia when I was a kid, but, it used to be cold at Halloween time. Now, it's warm, usually.Originally posted by TripletDaddy View Post"Wuap's "problem" is that he is smart & principled & committed to a moral course of action.

Our new neighborhood is awesome. Tons of awesomely decorated houses and mobs of TOTers. One dude had two sets of huge portable stadium lights set up on either side of his house. The bulbs were purple and blue, creating a glow that could be seen from anywhere in the neighborhood. He also had a DJ blasting tunes in his driveway. We had so many people out with bowls in their driveways that I almost thought I was in Texas until I realized I wasn't being eaten alive by mosquitos and I hadn't stepped in any tobacco spit all night.
Mini candy bars made us high rollers in our last neighborhood, but my kids got over a dozen full sizers and even a few king sizers tonight. We'll definitely have to up our game next year.Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss

No one came to our house last night. Why? Because I worked late and wasn't really in the mood for trick or treating when I got back. My wife and I went out to dinner, then came home and kept the lights off in the front of the house. It was a nice, relaxing evening.Not that, sickos.Comment

The bowls aren't on the driveway. People are sitting in lawnchairs while they hold the bowls.Originally posted by TripletDaddy View Post"Discipleship is not a spectator sport.
