Trick Or Treat Preparation - R U Done?

lashbear · 10-28-2010, 04:02 PM

I've just put the finishing touches on dozens of cute candy-bags for this years onslaught here in Forster.

Mum doesn't quite get into Halloween so in previous years children were more likely to get a carrot or hand-cream sample than anything sweet.

Each ghostly bag contains Fizzing Whizzbees, Candy Sticks, Chocolate Sorcerors Balls, and a mini Toblerone.

I'm also thninking of installing one of those trick doorbells where a spider jmps down and touches your finger while you ring it. Similar to this

I am so not ready. I'll be performing in an interactive walk-through spook show (a very tame, family-friendly one) at the Gaylord Palms and I need to take a look at the script. Also, I have a little project that has to be done by Halloween - I'm getting so very close - and by the time this month is over, I'll have juggled so many things, I'll qualify for Ringling Brothers.

I'll be in Washington D.C. Plus I live in an apartment complex, so no trick or treaters here if I was home.

Wander down to Georgetown. It's quite the street party. Last time we went I saw a guy futilely trying to argue with the Police that running through the crowed running his gas powered chain saw was not a problem because he'd removed the chain.

I say "futilely" because he was face down on the street in cuffs and I don't think the officer standing on him was even listening.

I want to trick or treat at the Bears house! A fizzing whizzbee just sounds like fun and who could turn down a mini Toblerone!

We have a bag of treats and the boy wants to dress up to scare the kids but we'll see. I didn't really go all out this year, everything is a little different with the boy in school.

I did make a batch of tester fudge though.

We are never home and when we had an animal sitter there would only be a dozen or so little ones who came for candy. Most kids trick or treat outside our complex in the neighborhood across the street.

Plus we always go someplace spooky this year the tradition continues Knott's Berry Farm's Halloween Haunt again

on halloween night

I am sad that Halloween is about to be here and then no more scary stuff til next year

I always buy candy and rarely get kids. This year will be the same. I may put up some decorations on the sound shield if I am home.

We won't get many kids but I have candy and will be home to plunk it into their bags.

I wasn't home last year so I don't know if we will get very many but I do have some candy and I'll put up a few decorations. Maddie's going to a friends house to trick or treat in their neighborhood.
