Trick or Treaters

Do you expect a lot of kiddos to come to your place ?

Re: Trick or Treaters

  • Not a lot but a few. We've got at least a dozen little kids on our street.
  • if we turn on the lights, YES.

    They were very respectful of lights off last year.

  • I'm not sure. First year in our new house so we shall see. We have four little boys that live on our street so I plan on having candy at the ready for them. But E has class that night and Simon freaks anytime anyone he doesn't know comes to the door so I might just turn off the porch light and lights in the front and hide in the living room at the back of the house.

  • We don't know either. First halloween in this house. Will have to ask some neighbors. There's zero kids around here, so I can't imagine we'd get many. We have the perfect driveway to decorate with luminarias or pumpkins though.

    I might ask our neighbors too. We live on the end of a dead end street but there is a walking path through to the next street. We also live about half a mile from an elementary school so I'm sure there will be quite a bit of foot traffic but being that I'll be home alone I'm not sure I want to make it obvious that I'm here.

  • Last year I thought we would get tons and bought a crap load of candy. We got maybe 10? So weird. I guess we aren't in the hot zone for my area (there are some streets that give out 1000+ pieces of candy a night.. hard to compete).

     

  • No, we have a long driveway that I doubt any kids will ever walk down. Also, there are only a few houses on our street. A new neighborhood is being built across the street, but I'm sure when that development is finished they will stick around there. If we really loved Halloween we could do a pretty cool haunted walked down the driveway, but neither of us are hugely Halloween fans.
  • if we were home, probably. There are quite a few kids in our neighborhood. But my IL's go all out with their front yard & decorations so usually DH and I go there to hang out. Stinks that it's a Monday night this year.

  • Probably not... we live in an apartment complex and there aren't very many kids.
  • Nope.  We live in the sticks and although there are lots of families on our street, I really don't see them walking way up here for a small piece of candy.  I'll make sure i have some full-size candy bars on hand, just in case, but I'll be just as happy to eat them when the day's over.  Wink

  • We had about 30-40 last year. Not sure what to expect this year (since last year the Giant's World Series game was on during the trick-or-treating, and perhaps some kids didn't come out as a result).

    We're loaded up with candy though, just in case!

  • Not a ton, but a decent amount. I think last year we probably had about 50 - 60 kids. My parents usually get around 100. The street one over from us is the "happening" street, although I've been trying to encourage the moms group to spread the word that our street is pretty cool to TrT on as well.
  • We haven't had any in the two years that we've lived here. Our driveway is long and steep and the weather has been crappy the last two years.
  • Not sure as this is the 1st Halloween in our home (still enjoy typing that out). We are part of a Neighborhood Association and one of the local vendors near us will be doing some Halloween events so hopefully that will bring some kids around. Based on what some of the neighbors said, they got about 20 last year but in previous years it has been 50+!

  • No. There weren't many last year, and there aren't many kids in our neighborhood. Too bad. But we shall see!
