Talking How many trick n' treaters did you have . . . . . . . . . .

How many prince and princes's came to YOUR house tonight?

We had a total of 50 kids off all ages, the tinest to the biggest.

Was nippy cold around here tonight in Michigan, at least we did not have freezing rain like we have had in the past.

So now we will be eating candy until after Thanksgiving!

I had enough treats for 250 kids ....... and I ran out at 7:15 pm (after just over an hour!)

I admit ... I did have more than 250 treats ... but, um ... a few were consumed before today .......

Yesterday morning, we had a cold front come through and it was in the upper 40's by T or T time. I froze my booty off because I was sitting on the front porch....didn't want poor Poochy to go crazy or should I say crazier everytime the bell rang. We live in a huge subdivision with 5,000 homes and I think everyone came. I ran out of treats after an hour and a half. I'll post some photos later of my darling Grim Reaper and the scary guy from Scream.

It was in the 90s and humid here yesterday and so last night was still warm and muggy

Our doorbell rang almost every minute between 6.30pm (when the lil ones in adorable costumes with cute pumpkin buckets started to come round ) through till 9pm when the big highschool dudes wearing the scary masks and with sacks arrived )
We live real close to all 3 schools, elem, middle and high, and so have surrounding neighborhoods filled with kids.

This year I did two big tubs of treats (300+)........one with the candies and snack packs of cookies etc and the other with little snack bags of salty stuff...chex mix, cheese its etc.........my son had scorned the idea of salty stuff as treats saying everyone only wants sweet stuff....well, he was wrong as the kids were clearly delighted by the salties... I allowed a sweet and a salty each.

We must've had close to 300 kids I guess cuz there is no salty stuff left and just a couple of tootsie roll pops in the sweet tub

My dog (a small JR terrier) hates haloween as I have to crate her till its over. She is very friendly and loves kids, but also barks like a rotweiler every time the doorbell rings and rushes out to greet people. Some kids can get scared by that so she had to be out back crated. Still sounded like the Hound of the Baskervilles at each and every doorbell ring tho
The cats take up residence in the little storage room under the stairwell till it is all over!

I don't know how many we had. I heard not a lot.

We went to my aunt's haunted house and trick or treated in their neighborhood.

We only had about 25 kids here.I live on a main street..
We had fun though!! I could see alot of kids and parents-then they would cross the street and go down the side street...
I was saying i was gonna go to the corner and just hand out the candy there..
Sooo i still have a bit of candy left...I did'nt even buy any choco candy bars this year because last year..well....they sorta dissappeared before trick or treat night
I did get to see a few cute lil witches and devils and princesses..It sure was cold here last night though..
Oh i almost forgot to mention this..LOL
My daughter locked us outta the house at one point..heehee
My son came over just in time to get a back window shimmied open and climb through to go unluck the door...

We had a big fat 0...

I had a drs appointment, and everyone else had somewhere to go except my teenage son, so he was here alone. So what does he do? Turns off ALL the lights, closes the curtains, and hopes all the trick-or-treaters think no one is home...

I don't know how much of that was because he is shy...and how much was calculated to leave more candy for him...
