Re: GTKY - Halloween Edition

  • What are your halloween traditions?
    •Every year we go to Filasky's to do the soy bean maze, hay ride, and get our pumpkins. I can't do the craziness of Milburns in October. My mom usually takes the kids there in September.

    We have a pumpkin carving party at my moms.

    On Halloween we take a bunch of pictures, and then A goes around our block with his friends in the neighborhood and Greg and I walk M.

    What are the kiddos dresing up as?
    •A is being a ninja and M is a baby owl.

    Do you dress up your pets? If so what are they being? N/A

    Are you dressing up?
    •This is the first year my mom isn't have a Halloween party. So nope, not this year.

    Do you hand out candy? If so, what kind do you get?
    •I do once we get back home. Usually I sit outside with M handing it out, while I wait for A to come back around the loop.
    A: 10.02.03    M: 01.28.11
  • What are your halloween traditions? We really don't have any.  I like fall, but kind of eh about halloween.

    What are the kiddos dresing up as? No kids, no idea what the stepkids are being... ex is still mad we found our about Lilly's ER visit.

    Do you dress up your pets? If so what are they being? Hunter has been a pumpkin the last 2 years, I think I need to head to Target and get him something different this year.  He LOVES halloween... kids come to him to pet him! 

    Are you dressing up? Probably not, flannel and a cowboy hat if anything to hand candy out.

    Do you hand out candy? If so, what kind do you get? Yea, I love handing out candy and we get a good amount of kids!  I try to get a snicker variety pack and whatever else looks good!  I have to wait to get it and hide it from Jeff.

    ETA: Do you like going to the scary haunt house/hayride/etc? nope lot a fan... I like sleeping at night without nightmares.

  • What are your Halloween traditions?

    The Seawitch parade in Rehoboth

    What are the kiddos dressing up as?

    My little sisters are as close to kiddos as I've got.  I helped my littlest sister put together an awesome pirate costume last weekend.

    Do you dress up your pets? If so what are they being?

    I have in the past but they are too fat to fit in any of their old costumes and I don't want to spend money on new ones.

    Are you dressing up?

    It's up in the air right now.  We may go out with a few friends so I pulled together a couple of tourist costumes out of stuff I already had b/c I didn't want to spend money if it wasn't a sure thing.

    Do you hand out candy?  If so, what kind do you get?

    I have never handed out candy but I may go to my mom's house this year to hand out candy with her.

    ETA: Do you like going to the scary haunt house/hayride/etc?

    LOVE them!  I hope to get to at least one this year.

    What are your halloween traditions? Doing Halloween with my grandparents and my bff Stacy and her kids.  And carving pumpkins with the kiddos...and sticking my baby in a pumpkin- watch out C!!

    What are the kiddos dresing up as? Lil is going to be a bunny and C is going to be a duck

    Do you dress up your pets? If so what are they being? Pickles would not be having that.

    Are you dressing up? nah...

    Do you hand out candy?  If so, what kind do you get? I usually leave a bowl bc we go out with the kids. At our old house we got almost no one..I'll have to ask about our new neighborhood. I think I got mini Hershey's bars the other day (is it bad I don't even remember what I bought?)

    ETA: Do you like going to the scary haunt house/hayride/etc? Not particularly...and H hates them!

    What are your halloween traditions? We don't have any. I'll have to start some.

    What are the kiddos dresing up as? T's going to be a monkey. He isn't a huge fan of the costume.

    Do you dress up your pets? If so what are they being? I used to dress Murph up but I haven't in a few years. He doesn't like it anyway.

    Are you dressing up? I'm not. We were invited to two parties but we aren't going to either.

    Do you hand out candy?  If so, what kind do you get? I don't because no one comes around in our neighborhood since it's full of old people. I can't wait to get into a neighborhood with kids so I can! I love seeing all of the different costumes.

    ETA: Do you like going to the scary haunt house/hayride/etc? NO! I hate it! We went one year and one of H's friends snuck through this corn maze thing and scared the crap out of me.

  • What are your halloween traditions? - Watching Hocus Pocus at some point.  We've carved pumpkins together in the past and I'd like to do that again.  There just doesn't seem to be time this year, though.

    What are the kiddos dresing up as? - My niece is going to be super-girl!

    Do you dress up your pets? If so what are they being? - Negatory.  Jack is a cool cat, but that's not his jam.

    Are you dressing up? - Yes!  For school I'm going to be a minion (along with the rest of the 2nd grade team) and for "real life" I'm thinking about being a snowman.  Like this:

    image

    A tutu was part of my costume last year and I was obsessed with wearing it.

    Do you hand out candy?  If so, what kind do you get? - Yup!  M&Ms and Reese's peanut butter cups.

    ETA: Do you like going to the scary haunt house/hayride/etc? - I'm more of a haunted historical tour person (i.e. Fort Delaware, Gettysburg, etc.) than a Frightland type place person.  I love a good ghost tour!

    What are your halloween traditions? We don't really have any for Halloween.  We try to do pumpkins, but no biggie if we don't.

    What are the kiddos dresing up as?M is being a pink and purple monster.  She's not really "in" to any characters.  She liked this one at Target.

    Do you dress up your pets? If so what are they being?  I have a black cat.  Figure that's good enough.  ;)

    Are you dressing up? I have a witch's hat that I wear

    Do you hand out candy?  If so, what kind do you get? I normally get a Hershey blend.  I'm all about the Reeses and Kit Kats.  I also get a bag of non chocolate too. 

    ETA: Do you like going to the scary haunt house/hayride/etc? No!


     

  • What are your halloween traditions?  Normally friends get together & carve pumpkins and someone always throws a Halloween Party, offically called HIFOP (Halloween is Finally Over)  because one of our friends used to own a Halloween Store franchise and a lot of us worked for him over the season.  He doesn't own it anymore, but HIFOP still happens, lol

    What are the kiddos dresing up as?  No kiddo's yet!

    Do you dress up your pets? If so what are they being?  hahaha, no

    Are you dressing up?  I am for work, I don't know if we're doing anything else though.  For work, I'm going to be a skeleton

    I ordered this shirt for work

    Do you hand out candy?  If so, what kind do you get?  Normally not, because a lot of kids normally don't come to our house.  I might still pick up some candy if I'll be home, just in case.

    ETA: Do you like going to the scary haunt house/hayride/etc?   Nope, I'm a total wuss!

  • What are your halloween traditions?

    Don't really have any, but planning on starting one this weekend.  We're going to go to Milburn Orchards to get pumpkins and apple cider donuts.  I have to have a picture of Logan in a pumpkin!

    What are the kiddos dresing up as?

    Logan will be wearing a skeleton onesie that I bought him a while ago.  It will likely be too big since its 3 months and I bought it before I knew he would be over 2 weeks late and an October baby.

    Do you dress up your pets? If so what are they being?

    Diesel will be a bad dog (prisoner) like he was last year.  Can't justify buying him a new costume this year.

    Are you dressing up?

    Nope.  Of course this is the year we have multiple parties to choose from...but we will not be going to any parties this year.

    Do you hand out candy? If so, what kind do you get?

    Yes.  I hand out whatever bag I buy at the store.  This year I am handing out the large tootsie rolls.  Not really my thing, but they were on a good sale at Christmas Tree Shops so that's what this neighborhood's kids are getting.

    ETA: Do you like going to the scary haunt house/hayride/etc?

    LOVE this part of Halloween.  Hayrides are my favorite.  I used to always put one together at Milburns with a bonfire, but haven't done it in a few years.
