Did you see a lot of trick-or-treats?

We never get any, and it makes me so sad.  I love seeing little ones in their costumes. 

Re: Did you see a lot of trick-or-treats?

  • Aww that is too bad.  I was starting to worry that we wouldn't get any, but we ended up with about 15 kids.  They were so cute!
  • We got about 40-45 total. They started around 6pm and we got about 3 dozen in the first hour, then only 5-10 between 7 and 7:45.

    Since we got so many in that first hour I was worried we'd run out of candy. Normally I let them all pick 2 pieces, but eventually I said just 1 to make sure we had enough. I wasn't expecting the big drop off of kids after that first hour. I thought we'd get a burst around 7:30 after the Patriots game. We still had some candy at the end.

  • We've never had any at our house, so we went to my father's house to watch the game and see his trick-or-treaters. There were barely any, and most of them were the questionable aren't-you-a-little-old-for-this? age. Very disappointing Sad

  • I was supposed to help at our friend's photo booth thing yesterday and would have seen lots of cute kiddies but I decided to get sick instead and hide out at home Stick out tongue. Even though neither of my porch lights were on, I still had people ringing our doorbell a couple of times. WTH? I just ignored them because I hadn't bought any candy since I didn't plan to be home.
    I'd rather be rock climbing or playing volleyball

  • I kept a tally going all night.

    We had 256 kids- plus a handful who didn't take any candy. I'm in shock!

  • My favorite costume of the night: a baby dressed up like a lamb...I just melted!

    (Costume looked similar to this, without the giant bow.)

    I know! I'm mostly amazed we had enough candy. We had 2 bags of 115 fun size bars from BJ's, then my friends brought us a bag of mini snickers the day before, and after those ran out, we only used about 1/3 of the enormous bag of kisses. It was a lot of fun to see so many costumes.

  • We didn't get any. We never do. Dressed up our little one as a lobster though and she looked super cute (if I do say so myself.)

  • Steady stream from 7-9. We went through about 3/4 of the bucket of candy we had.

    We had some seriously CUTE costumes too!
