    It rains and the kids don't go out?

    :lol: wussies...we went out no matter the weather.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Oh, I am sure they will be out.
    But I always feel bad when their little costumes have to covered by rain jackets.
    3:30 and not one kid has shown up yet.

    When do they trick or treat there? On the west coast it starts when it gets dark.

    Same here.
    Though I thought being a weekend they may start a little early.
    We usually get tons of kids here.

    I remember trick-or-treating in MN during a blizzard. I took a lap around our cul-de-sac and my neighbors gave me bags of candy because no one else was showing up....most candy I've ever gotten. On top of that schools were closed for a week afterwards.

    I remember years ago, after normal T/ T hours, a knock on the door, was a friend of mine with his kids. They didn't smell pizza, all you could smell was weed. I was mortified, trying to keep the kiddies on the porch. :).

    It was suppose to rain here morning and afternoon. Nothing until about half hour before it got dark. Just late enough to mess it up for the kids

    No not really - maybe a little - I took them to my work, good turn out this year. Not many places of employment do that for their employees kids anymore.

    My 2 youngest are 20 months and three weeks lol - no way I'm taking them in the wind and rain.
    Oh please let it rain today.

    A beautiful Fall evening, thankfully the rain held off. Lots of lovely little princesses, Ewoks, pirates, Minnie Mouses and Dorothys. All toting overflowing bags of goodies and the biggest smiles.

    Oh the magic of being a kid on Halloween. It doesn't get much better.

    We did not have any little kids at our place, but did have a bunch of middle schoolers. That's fine, they were all in costume.

    I was at the grocery store today, which is in a small mall. They had afternoon trick or treating so I got to see dozens of little fairies, ladybugs, and, yes, Minnie and Mickey Mouses (Mice?). Nice to see them, even if they didn't come door to door :frowning:

    I stopped buying candy a few years ago. The kids only go to stores now as far as I can tell.

    I separated the peanut butter cups from the rest of the stuff- the last to go.

    The general idea was if there was to be leftover candy... it would be awesome left over candy. THAT... is the work of a genius, friends. Best move I've made in a long time.

    I'm lying on my couch watching the Chiefs and Lions... peanut butter cup wrappers everywhere.

    Lions suck, man. Terrible.

    Well-done, Thirty! I hope they're the full-sized kind (the "fun-sized" ones just don't taste the same).

    Nope.

    They're the little crappers.

    All the bars were. You gotta toss in 3 to the little ghouls or it ends up being a wasted trip up our driveway. I considered trimming it back to 2 as the night progressed- trying to maintain a foothold on the peanut butter cups. Fortunately, they started to trickle in and eventually cease.
