It's 10 days until Halloween so I want to know the following:
- Do you hand out candy? If so, what kind?
- Do you get alot of trick-or-treaters?
- Do you dress up to hand out candy? If so, what are you going to be?

Re: QOTD 10/21
I've never gotten to hand out candy. Last year we were on our honeymoon. I'm really excited and will hand it out this year for sure! I've been buying bags of mixed candy all month as I see them on sale. The problem is I got too much stuff that DH and I like. I think we are just getting fat at this point.
I had someone house sit and hand out candy. She said she went through like 5 giant bags of candy. She said we had a ton of trick-or-treaters. There are a ton of kids in the neighborhood so that doesn't really surprise me.
DH bought a Biohazard costume and we have some things at home to make me look Biohazard. I have a bunch of costumes from my early 20s, but I don't really want to hand out candy to children in skanky costumes. Lol!
He loves halloween because Kids come to him! He waits by the door all night for more kids.
2. I request every year that my mom doesn't hand out anything I like. Unfortunately, that would only leave Almond Joy, Mounds, Mike & Ike, and a few other random things. She ignores me and I eat most of the candy that she buys...
3. We get a decent amount of kids. My mom is the principal of the elementary school in our neighborhood and the kids know she lives here. I would say at least 50 kids from her school stop by to see her every year. It's cute when I answer the door and they're like, "Oh no! Is Mrs. Principal home?"
Tough to tell for this year. Last year didn't seem too busy kid wise. But I think I might have been biased on that since I grew up in the city and am used to tons of kids going through the area.
Probably won't this year if we actually do hand out stuff. Last year, I dressed up as a mime and my husband went as a lumberjack since it allowed him to keep his beard for a costume.
