Halloween

Just wondering what's everyone's plans? Are you trick or treating or handing out candy? Anyone have any good ideas for things to hand out instead of candy or with candy? Last year I had playdoh and bubbles.

Those $1 coloring books that Wal Mart and the Dollar store have would be neat. Bubbles and play-doh are cool. Smile

Maybe some pez dispensers? Granted they still have candy, but they are really neat looking!

I don't hand out candy I go Trick-or-Treating with Logan... It's going to be so much fun.... I LOVE Halloween

I love the coloring book idea! This is our first Halloween with having our own child. I think we are going to maybe two or three houses right next to us so we can dress her up. But she can't eat any of eat so it would be pointless to go all around the neighborhood. Lucky, you'll have to take photos of Logan!

I took Logan Trick-or Treating the 1st time when he was almost 2 months old (gave the candy to my friend's kids, what I didn't want of it at least). We had a blast. Last year he was one (no candy for him then either, well he had a well supervised sucker).

Yeah my little girl is 3 months old...well will be 4 mos by Halloween. I just want to get her dressed up. I need to look for a costume. My neices and nephews always went when they were young and had some of the cutest costumes.

I can see her as a fairy already! Smile

We tried giving candy last year but the only people that came to the house were the ones I sent over rom work. Sad

So I'm going to get a few bags of candy, bring them to work, and hand them out there. Smile

Yeah that sounds like a great idea. You will see many more kids there I imagine. Funny thing is I live in the back of our neighborhood and last year only had about 20 kids even though we have like 1,000 houses. So I guess by the time they got to us...they were already done. LOL. So we will see how it goes this year.

I'll be staying and handing out candy. Would love to try another idea as well, but what ? we get teenagers as well as younger kids, so candy usually works.. My sister will be going out, do not know about my brother. He hasn't said anything, but I have a feeling he is.

I didn't get any teens last year. I got some tweens. They were super excited about the bubbles. But if you get alot of teens than year candy would be the best.
