But did any of you ever get a rock???
<---------
My mother gives me a big bag of s ed pecans from the trees at her house every year when I go home to Oklahoma. I like to grab a handful out of the bag in the freezer every once in while just to snack on. It brings back some of those great kid memories. I would be ecstatic if someone gave me pecans for Halloween.With as expensive as pecans are at HEB, especially with Thanksgiving coming up ... I'd kill for a bag of pecans.
I miss my grandmother's big assin pecan trees.
You should greet the kids asking for candy like you are in your avatar.
That would be funny!!You should greet the kids asking for candy like you are in your avatar.
The kids so far are freaking out over the loot bags ... I think I've seen a couple of them twice so far.
And they love User's Transformers pumpkin.
Although the really little kids aren't liking the fog machine.
We didn't have many trick or treaters come to our house. The whole neighborhood was dark and we seemed to be the only ones that were giving anything out. But we did manage to give out a lot of candy and a 12 pack of Ramen Noodles, which were a big hit to the teenagers. I really only gave them out to those without costumes.
I haven't had any here, so far.
I kind of expected that since my apartment building is somewhat tucked away and dark. Also, it's really foggy and misty here today, so my guess is that there's a lot of haunted house and mall action for the trick-or-treaters.
Glad I went with the gut instinct and only bought a couple of small bags of candy.
Dear Lord, all the decorations and cars stopping to come to my house caused a traffic jam on our street, a bus couldn't get out
We had about 20 bags of candy and we are almost out. I came inside for a short break cus the smoke machine was making my contacts dry. My family is passing out the rest.
And some freak tried to steal our Jack Skellington lawn ornament
Such a thing is punishable by death.And some freak tried to steal our Jack Skellington lawn ornament
the last few kids that came by hit the jackpot!
The little kids couldn't figure my look costume out and kept asking if I was a zombie or what I was. I told them I didn't know what I was either.
i have been eating chocolate all day. i'm staring at a crunch bar on my desk right now. i think it'll be my next victim.
We had a ton of kids this year .. and some of the best costumes I've ever seen. It was awesome.
We had one loot bag left. Thank goodness both of my kids scored, big time.
I guess many people don't bring their kids to the Southeast Side. I was a little upset by this.
, we were swamped. A couple of times I counted and there was literally 20 kids in line waiting and taking pictures of the lawn decorations. And that is not including the ones my brother and his friend scared away with their costumes.
. We were drinking out on the porch, waiting for the little bas s to come get candy and nothing. We probably got about 30 kids all night.
We had 5 billion, seriously. Those sons of biches
I bought 20 mini peanut butter cups from the 7-11 across the street at 10cents each. But no door knocks so far.
I was gonna drink tonight with my brother but he had to head back to base because it looks like he might go TDY soon
Next year though we are gonna do the decorations, smoke machine etc but also a graveyard and haunted house. It's gonna be ing awesome! I hope we cause another traffic jam and people start honking their horns like idiots again.
We don't get any kids at our place, which sort of surprised me, because I know there are kids in the complex. Guess they just hit the neighborhood behind us. I wanted to go out with SFIE and the dog and see the kids trick or treating, but I had a massive headache and curled up in fetal position on the couch instead. Good times.
Sounds like you guys did a great job for the kids though. Good for you!
Im jealous.
I have to work, and i love halloween.
I cant wait to have my own place and give out candy
I went out as a pro poker player. I wore really dark shades and a big black jacket ala Phil Helmuth. I even walked around saying "With my DVD, you'll dodge bullets baby!" but no one knew what the I was talking about.
One smartass dad said, "Hey look it's dog the bounty hunter" in a really sarcastic way.
I just walked away from one house. They had their lights on and stuff so I figured it was all good. Then the lady answers the door like I was just some visitor. I said "TRICK OR TREAT BABY!!!" and she gives me this blank stare and furrows her brow like she didn't know it was October 31st. Long story short, she goes well ok hold let me get you some stuff and I see her walking down the hallway with V8 and a box of triscuits. I just booked it.
Had a decent haul overall.
3 packs of gum
3 andes mints
1 snickers full size
tons of smarties
1 pack of pop tarts
some fruit cups
baby ruth fun sized
travel size soap
pez dispenser w/ pez refill
spurs pocket schedule
A neat trick for next year is to have an air horn behind your back and just as the kids grab the candy out of the bowl.....
I watched it happen to several kids last night at one house. Hilarious
Really only used on bigger kids.
Took my daughters last night and one house gave out popsicles. I thought this was a great idea especially since they gave each kid two. Two for dad, one for each child.
