I have a consultation with an orthopedic surgeon, so I decided to dress up as a spooky witch. So really, that means wearing my normal clothes and adding a witch hat. I’m also going to the feed store and I might just stop at the tattoo shop to take advantage of their Halloween flash sale if I have time. Very exciting stuff. We live out in the sticks, so there aren’t any trick or treaters.
@andyw I miss doing that. It’s kinda fun seeing the kids (and sometimes parents) in their costumes. We live too far from town now, no trick or treaters here.
Kiddo’s gymnastics class is still on and mom is busy so I’ll be playing Mom at Mom and Tot gymnastics and then taking him to trunk or treat at his school if it’s not raining. First time we haven’t handed out candy since we lived in this neighborhood. I have to make sure the automations don’t turn on the porch lights tomorrow night.
Handing out candy with the dog. Hopefully it’s not as cold as last year. And hopefully the dog isn’t as spooked by costumes as she was last year. She will be a bat this year, and I’ll throw on a black cloak and witch hat. I need to get the massive amount of candy out of the house so I don’t eat it.
Nothing in the evening - so few trick-or-treaters come down my street it’s not worth it. But meeting for lunch with my cousin, her spouse, and 8 of her relatives plus my mother and brother. I’ve only ever met her and her husband up till now. Might wear something slightly Halloweenish!
No one is brave enough to walk down our long and dark driveway. I don’t think trick or treaters even know there’s a house at the end of it. Therefore, Halloween is just another day for us. Gonna install some new sinks and faucets.
I usually get candy to give out, but it’s 50/50 if we get any Trick or Treaters. Do have cheap crap candy for older- no costume teenagers and good candy for the little tykes.
We’re passing out the full size candy bars to the trick-or-treaters in our neighborhood, a tradition we started about 3 years ago. This year we’ll add a pop-up since we’re supposed to get rain.
Try to get some work done on this gorgeous 80° day! Hand out candy to 50 to 70 trick or treaters while chatting with friends and neighbors. Halloween is fun here!
Taking my nephew trick or treating and bringing a bag for myself too. I fully expect to get candy with him as I’m dressing up as a witch and he’s either a skeleton or super baby (he wants to be both). At my dads funeral, my aunt had capes and mask (for her grandkids) and he put one on to play and I called him super baby so know he thinks it’s a real thing. I got a black sweat suit and some iron on letters and his shirt says super baby snd a cape and mask for him to wear if he wants to be super baby tonight.
I had to go and find another costume on the book face bc mine from eBay has been lost in the mail. Then just now I got an email saying it’s supposed to be delivered this morning (but the claim I filed says it’s not in my state) so we’ll see. All in all I’m excited. He’s 2 so we’re gonna have fun as long as it doesn’t rain tonight.
we have a long dark driveway too, only a few friends on our street come by with their kids. no candy but I have a bucket of fidget spinners I got from Meh a coupla years ago. everyone else goes to the crowded neighborhoods where they can load up.
Last year, we had temps in the 70’s & had all kinds of “starving-for-candy” neighborhood kidlets to feed…and we did, happily! Over 300 by our estimate! This year, temps are only in the 40’s, so I’m guessing the number will be much lower–not sure if it’s the kids or the parents who’ve gotten “soft” over the years! Either way, I’m prepared on my honor to do my duty…nearly 400 individual pieces of candy purchased, and ready no matter what!
I’m not. Got better things to do than play make-believe.
@IndifferentDude like what?
@spacemart You know … grown-up stuff!!
@IndifferentDude, I don’t believe that you do.
Handing out hot cocoa grab bags to the little buggers that venture our. Supposed to pretty cool tomorrow so we’ll see how many we get.
@kjady Sounds Kool!
Well, technically we aren’t there yet.
But tomorrow probably going to bed early. Got an early Friday morning breakfast meeting.
WFH and not answering the door.
Taking my kids trick-or-treating around the neighborhood.
Handing out TrackRs
@lonocat I sold many of them for $1 each at some recent garage sales. Or maybe they walked off. Either way I was shocked!

Staying home and giving our treats.

Going in to the office like most Thursdays and I have no plans after work.
Uh, nothing…
If we get some candy, I’ll be changing the lighting colors to reflect the holiday. Otherwise, I guess we’ll have an ordinary evening?
Going to a pub quiz, like every other Thursday.

Work, give out candy, go to sleep.
Dressing up and handing out candy!
