Dressing as a cat, probably.
Handing out no treats because we havenāt seen a trick or treater here for at least 5 years.
We moved this past weekend but Iām going back for one last hurrah of passing out at our old house where we get lots of trick or treaters. Treats this year include packets of Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate, mini-bags of Oreos, Rice Krispie treats (packaged not homemade). Iām also going to have a big basket of beanie babies for kids to take one because MOVING and getting rid of stuff!!
I did choose an orange/yellow dress with black sweater to wear to work today with black leggings and black shoes.
Love Halloween!!! Itās gonna be a COLD one here in Northern Ohio. 38 at 6pm, the start of T or T.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN !
No dressing up but our neighborhood kid count is way up after a lull for a few years.
Candy offerings this year are Swedish Fish, KitKats, Twix and Reeseās. We do the full size bars and I usually stash one or two Reeseās in the freezer.
Only the dog dresses up now but we will probably get hundreds of trick or treaters later so it will be a busy evening.

The busiest Halloween street in town is 3 houses away (very hilly town, street is 2 miles with no hills). This year they are shutting it down to traffic and there will be police and lights, Iām expecting even more than usual. Itās funny, the rest of town seems to be angry/jealous, but since itās a known popular TOTing area, home owners stay home to give out candy, so itās just easy for the parents and kids.

As weāve done for the past eight years since moving to this house, weāll return to our old neighborhood to catch up all evening with our old neighbors as we sit in a half-circle around a chiminea in one of their driveways and pass out candy. Not sure weāll need to light a fire though as itās going to hit 81 degrees today.

I went to a party at my sonās school last week and parents were encouraged to dress up. Since my son is a Dalmatian this year I dressed as a Dalmatian, too. As soon as I put the costume on I realized my mistake. Iām not a small womanā¦I cannot tell you how many people assumed I was dressed as a cow.

Lots of new families in the neighborhood the last couple of years. I do miss carving pumpkins with my own kids.

Iāll be handing out candy. Last year we got a decent amount of trick or treaters, but we were turning out the lights at about 7:15. All the kids seemed to come between 6 and 7. I wonder if it will be the same todayā¦
Last year was the first year that our next door neighbors decided to go all out decorating so maybe that brought more kids to our cul de sac.
Most of the kids in our neighborhood are beyond trick or treating age. Though some younger families with little kids have moved in behind us and down at the end of the street. There are some neighborhoods near us that go all out on Halloween. Word is that theyāre brining in food trucks this year, so I think that draws away trick or treaters from our neighborhoodā¦
We had breakfast at our office this morning and most of the young engineers dressed up. I have a coworker that brings her dog to the office and this was the pupās costume.

Very few trick-or-treaters in our San Diego neighborhood. Husband is going to a party in a very busy neighborhood - Iām staying home because (1) hate crowds and (2) dealing with a temp crown so am being very cautious on eating and would have to skip the pizza there. So when he leaves, I will turn off lights and hide in the study streaming shows.
I have dressed up for parties over the years but not of late; not sure what Iād even wear. Our cat had a costume:

Angry about what? Jealous about what? That all the TOTers will go to just one street in town?
Yeah Iām my town in the opposite. Many people in busy neighborhoods (like ours) are aggravated that āothersā swarm the neighborhood.
We used to get over a thousand kids. Itās dwindling I think mostly because the city puts on a big celebration in one location. We still get tons - enough to go through 15-20 pounds of candy. And thereās no answering the door. Itās a constant stream, so we just sit on the porch until we run out. But in the day, they would be lined up from the street up our walk, up two flights of stairs to our porch almost the entire time.
Tonight itās cold and rainy so we will see. Not really looking forward to sitting outside that long. I think Iāll bring my heating pad and a blanket.
We have that kind of neighborhood too. Itās constant. Itās snowing though so maybe fewer will be out this year. Iām also going to bundle up and sit in the porch otherwise the doorbell is too stressful for my dog.
