[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 92604, member: 1233"] I missed out on most Halloween this year. I WISH we got some kids at our house. NO ONE comes here, but we are in a little development in the country. Maybe next year I will try to do a neighborhood party. The kids did a community thing at the Fairgrounds a week ago, the church party last Sunday, and went to my folks house and one other street today. IF there is time. We are open until 9 for trick or treat. We go to my folks neighborhood because so many people know the kids from when we lived there. MANY people complained the year we went to the University and skipped them. The other street we do about 5 houses on. 4 are SERIOUSLY decked out, trying to top each other. One family starts making things in June so they are all ready to pull out in early October. The main reason we go there is that Jessie's BFF's grandparents live there. They are close friends of mine, I worked at their restaurant for years, and they just LOVE to see the kids. So many people go to the fancy expensive neighborhoods here. The developments with the really high-end houses are hit hard, ,mostly by kids they ahve never seen before. I see very little destruction, though there was ONE car where the MOM was handing the kids cans of shaving cream and soda to shake and spray on houses that did not have lights on. Her response when I told her to leave was that if the owner didn't want it he/she would have given out candy. MY response was to pull out my cell and dial 911 and give her license number. We were in the neighborhood around my parents and we had a cop there in NO time. They found her handing kids the cans of soda to spray 3 streets down. MAJOR scene, drove them ALL into the police station, actually made the paper with the mom's picture on it the next day. Personally, I HATE it that parents drive their kids from door to door to get candy. INSIDE neighborhoods with fairly small yards. My kids know not to even ask. If you have to be driven, you have to go home because you are not well enough to Trick or Treat. I howp you are all safe and vandal free today! Susie [/QUOTE]
