Every year I decorate the Wendy house with fairy lights, cobwebs, a full size witch on a broom landing on the roof and spooky screams and howls coming from the cd player and DD takes all the kids up and down the street. I didn't do it this year as dd had a birthday party to go to so she didn't go trick or treating
I still bought some sweeties though for any other kiddies who might venture out (we have fought long and hard over the years to get a sense of community going on this small street and encourage all the local kids to join in when we do things like this).
I remarked to OH that no-one had called and we'd better eat the sweets ourselves then. It was at that point he laughed and said no-one had called because he'd locked the gate and they couldn't get in - MEANIE!!!!

Well I never! DS2 has just gone trick or treating with a friend. A bit of a spontaneous affair, enabled by a mask from Mum's ever-present "Blue Peter Studio" equipment.
He has come back with a ton of sweets and also some serious cash?
DH and I are considering retiring and simply sending him out to work the neighbourhood for 4 hours once a year!

We've just driven home from Wales, so we haven't been out tonight. I had a bowl of sweets ready, but we only had one set of kids, who live across the road. I haven't had chance to decorate so I answered the door with my python wrapped around my wrist, and said they could have the sweets I was holding in my hand They were about to when the snake moved slightly (I let them get some sweets from the bowl after though)
