We won't be here so the little darlin's will have to go elsewhere!
We do have a little bowl of candy to leave out on the deck incase someone actually shows up.
I bet we haven't had a real trick or treater here in 10 years. We still buy some candy....just in case.
Hershey bars, 100,000 dollar bars, candy kisses and Reeses Peanutbutter cups .....just in case!!

The halloween candy at my place is almost gone, I keep on buying it and keep on eating it. Let me think, I've bought m&m's junior mints, peanut butter cups and crunch. But no kids inthe last 5 years

I used to do that too! When we got home, the GIANT bowl of candy I had left was always empty. I never knew if I got 1 trick or treater or 100.

I finally bought some yesterday, knowing full well that there will be not one trick or treater visiting my door.(There are no children living in my building here) BUT, I just couldn't resist buying it. Miniature Butterfingers, Baby Ruth's & Nestle Crunch. Guess who's going to have a belly ache later?

I have no idea what crabbypattys are! I misread it first and thought it said something else. In the neighborhood where I grew up in Topsham, we got hundreds of kids too. I remember it was my dad's favorite time of year. He would/still does invite each and every kid just inside the door and admires each and every costume. Although nowadays on IAH, they might only get 4 or 5 little tricksters.

I was going to make finger cookies but one of the honorary daughters requested chocolate chip pumpkin cookies. I'm going to make them small and turn them into mini whoopie pies.

Default Blessed Samhain and Happy Halloween



Happy Halloween and blessed Samhain to all. May there be much chocolate in your cauldrons and may the tricksters be benign.

We have mini-Kit-Kats and Reeses Cups and for the "...Season of the Hex" open house today, home made autumn leaf and acorn shaped sugar cookies and Hershey kisses and mulled cider.

Y'all come...

Star have a wonderful open house! I wish I could drop by

We have a huge bag (600) of tootsie rolls this year. I went with the cheaper stuff because I thought no one would be here long to pass it out anyway--wrong! I'll think I'll stick with those though. I've had them here since the beginning of the month, and no one has gotten into them. I know, it's strange, but it's like that here--there's a candy jar in the kitchen that barely gets opened.... you'd think it would be the opposite, but the kids and I just aren't big candy eaters.

msina DH *loves* those Crabby Patties!! Mermaid those are a gummy type of candy, stacked to look like the crabby patties on Sponge Bob

Jake is the only one trick or treating this year--Katy did go last year, but just won't be up for a lot of walking around this year with the mono. Well, *I* say she won't be, she doesn't agree We're the meeting house for some of her friends that are going out though, so I'll be doing a little baking today

We'll hand out plastic bags with candy and McCain Palin cards and stickers.

Never miss a chance.

lol At my house it would have been the dad, not the kids. I bet it's a blast at your house on Halloween with six little ones!
