Hiding in the dark, and praying no one rings your doorbell or knocks on your door???
I myself don't plan on being in the living room tonight, since I live back in town
I don't have money to "treat myself" with chocolate tonight and I sure can't afford
to be passing any of it out;
I don't even have anything to give to the neighbor's kid, she'll have to have
an apple and be happy she got that...
so what will you be doing tonight fellow Myloter's?? Trick or Treating??
passing out those treats??
hiding in the darkened room??
go to bed early??
or go somewhere else??
you have to see this funny picture I found while doing a search, for one
to put on here;
LMAO! ITS SUCH A "HOOT"!!!
here is the URL where I found it too, if you are in need of other great
Halloween tips on pumpkin carving for NEXT YEARS'S HALLOWEEN PARTY or just
to have out in your own yard..
oh CRAP! I forgot I STILL CAN'T COPY PASTE until I reach friggin 500!
do a search for BearCreekLedger.com and you'll see all of their wonderful
Halloween ideas;
BE SAFE TONIGHT!!!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

I hope no one rings my doorbell or knocks on my door because we will not be home but we need the porch light on since we will be out of town for a few days. We are getting ready to leave soon to go to my daughter's. I will be watching my grandson trick or treating tonight unless he goes to a friends house for a party.
Hope everyone has a safe and fun Halloween.

We are still at my daughter's and we had such a good time last night. The grandson has just turned 11. She and I took him and one of his friends out trick or treating, not many houses here were giving out candy because it is a small place and they had a football game here. hahaha We went to the town nearby, 20 miles away, and the kids got a pretty good bunch of candy, main thing they had a really good time. My grandson was a Ninja.

I'm turning off my front lights and hoping that no one knocks or rings the bell.
I'm so not into this stuff.
Besides, the roomie may get a sleep study tonight and if so, I've got to take her to the study about 10 p.m. and pick her up around 5 a.m. I may turn on the lights at that point.

HI Keya: Yes today is the best time to buy Halloween Candy, most places will
have it marked down;
I hope you get lots of cute kids dropping by;
The neighborhood where I am living is not the ( ideal place ) on any night
but especially tonight;
If anyone does Knock they will have to announce "who they are" first..LOL!

I would LOVE to hand out treats but I live too far back out in the country for kids to come there. If I lived in town, I'd do it in a heartbeat!! I will be going out to eat tonight, though so I will probably get to see some of the little ghouls and goblins.

Hi Wyldrose; That's ok I personally would love to be back out in the country;
Have a good dinner in town tonight and I hope you do get to see some of the goblins
and goul's running around;
Happy Halloween!!!

We do not hide but our front door leads into our dining room and as we do not use that room other than to eat in it is quite easy to make it look like we are not in. Plus the council give out signs for us to put up in the window if we do not want to be bothered by trick or treaters. I did a special treasure hunt for my children this year as they did not want to go out in the cold, I painted their faces and sent them all around the house hunting for treats! Then the final bit was a ghostly scare off hubby in the garden for them, so it was great fun.

i just gonna wait for those kids to come to my house. i just get like five kids to come to my house anyway. They are really young so they all wear like princess or pooh or something. So i just give them a hand full of candy from the bag and then I eat the rest myself. That's the best part. eating all the candy that is left over. I mostly but an extra bag, just so i can eat it all by myself. Yeah, as you can tell i love candy. Happy Halloween to everyone and enjoy eating those candies. I know i will.

Hi there: Well that's good number really to get like the 5 kids to come;
And eating the left over candy is the best part right?? Heck I used to buy
bags of the stuff when I was still working, I loved all those bite size pieces
of course they sell them that way year around and have for a long time, I guess
I kinda just "dated myself there huh"??? LOL!
LOVE CHOCOLATE TOO!
ANYTIME of the year...Tis Good! its all good!

No, I won't be...I give a goodie bag to my Niece and Nephew but that's it. I just don't do it...I used to but have gotten out of the habit. I prefer to just spend a quiet evening with Hubby.

Left a bucket out for the neighborhood kids and took my kids trick or treating.
Nobody touched the candy I left so its still sitting out there.
While taking the kids out we ran into this cool house that actually made trick or treating into a game which was so cool to me! They made you take a stuffed vegetable (or stuffed watermelon) and you had to throw it through this homemade decorated board to get your treat. The treat box (a coffin) made a sound when you opened it. It was funny because all the kids ran by the automated witch so fast everytime they walked up to the hole to make the shot, lol. The people hosting had on their Philly garb since today was the big rally--it was all just perfect for the occasion.

oh goodness--I might be ahead of myself. I could not do the haunted houses this year but I was thinking a big ole corn maze would be fun. My oldest will be 4 and my other 3 years old (and 2 months). I couldnt help thinking what perfect timing it was that I waited to take them trick or treating. My youngest just starting to talk and repeated everything she heard her sister say such as "trick-or-treat" and "happy halloween" and you can imagine it was the cutest thing to hear coming from a brand new talker!

HI there: Wow! You left a bucket of candy out and no one took it???
You must live in a really nice area (G)! Thank Goodness!! WEll I guess its
more for you and your family then huh?? LOL!
That's ok too !!!
OH that place sounds great!!! Now that would be funny to see something like that!
I used to love going to haunted houses, the best one I can recall ever was when
I was around 16, or 17 they had one set up here in an old shoe factory and it
was the best I had ever been in;
Very scary!!!!
Thanks so much for stopping by;

I, with my mother and friend Cheryl, will be avoiding the door all day except for when Mom's flowers are delivered that Cheryl ordered for her as a surprise. Which means, I have to get dressed because I'm not answering the door in a nightie. 
There's not that many kids who come along Mom's way anymore, anyway. There are no sidewalks here and the speed limit is 50, so it's dangerous for the little ones to walk up and down Main Street. The teenagers used to (like when I was one), but we were aware of traffic, plus there was less of it and it was slower back then. Now it's maybe 2 or 3 itty bitties whose moms bring them and that's it. I haven't given out candy in years.
BTW - you could have typed the URL, you know.

Yeah I could've typed it out but it was a long one, that's why I did the first
part of it, it still would take you to the main page of all the carved up pumpkins
and stuff aren't those pictures great though?? I bet you haven't even noticed

Since I live in a house behind a house I rarely ever get any kids coming to my door. But, every year I do buy some candy, just in case I do buy candy that I or my family likes though, so if no one comes knocking at least the candy will be enjoyed by someone

HI Fwidman: Right Exactly!! Thats the best way to do it right? Buy candy
that you and your family will enjoy!
I wanted to make popcorn balls this year but didn't even get around to doing
that for my neighbor's kid...(sigh)! Oh well!!!
That's what we used to do all the night when I was a kid, my Mom and I would
make popcorn balls and pass them out;

I will be handing out treats, I have a huge bowl full of candy for the kidlets! I love hanging out halloween treats and seeing all the little guys in their costumes. The past couple years I haven't had the chance to really because we've lived in neighborhoods lacking in children. This halloween though there are a lots of kids around, so I am kinda excited. I am a bit of a dork that way lol.

where I used to live no body wanted to drive up in my driveway of a night,
not even my own family...LOL!
But it sounds like fun and I hope you get lots of cute kids coming to call!!

We live too far out in the country for trick-or-treating to be a possible thing out here, so no candy givig either.
We've been curled up watching horror movies and enjoying apple cider all night.
Halloween is an important religious holiday for me, so shortly I'm gonna be carving up a pumpkin (I know, mighty late...but it keeps to the original tradition a bit better, and that's just how its turned out this year. Even though I'm not using turnips to make lanterns and have no candles), and engaging in some meditation, prayer, and serious snackage of delicious goodies.

Nah, no bumps. Dear old Jack (the pumpkin I carved) did kinda give me the heebie jeebies though. I think I mighta made him a bit TOO spooky lol.
Well, for me, I tend to say that the fake horrific things on tv help me deal with the real horrific things in real life =D
Prolly helps I was raised on horror movies, I guess, heh.
I see you've got little monsters running around too! Hehe.
We just moved out here, and I gotta agree we are very lucky to have been able to do so.
I did have alot of fun, and I hoped you had a good halloween too!

Hi there: Another person living out in the country where I long to be again;
you are so lucky;
I guess I'm just a big old puss, I could never get into the horror shows, I always
felt that everyday life was ( horrific) enough for me to deal with..LOL!!
I hope you had a great evening watching your shows, did you hear anything go
"bump" in the night later on??
I was just about asleep when there was a loud THUMP [i][/i][u][/u] up
against my bedroom window, darn ( little monsters) that run around here in
this neighborhood... I just laid there and said out loud, VERY FUNNY!! I
was all medicated up for the night...
Hope you had a very very good evening;
