[QUOTE="donna723, post: 474465, member: 1883"] Even though I live right in the middle of town, I haven't had any kids come at all for the last two years and before that it was just a few. I think tonight there is some kind of harvest festival at the middle school so they may be doing that instead. And for the last few years the church across the street has been doing this thing where they all pull in to the church parking lot and the kids go around to the cars and get candy from the other families. Whoop dee doo! Doesn't sound like much fun to me, compared to what we used to do when we were kids. Every year I buy candy because I would hate for anyone to come and not have anything, and every year I end up eating it myself which is not good. This year I got smart and bought peanut butter cups! I use those to make my famous peanut butter sandwich cookies every Christmas, so if no kids come, I won't have to go out and buy more before Christmas for the cookies. We were lucky when my kids were little. My brother and sister in law lived on a dead-end street full of young families who all knew each other so my kids went out with my nephews on Halloween. I got so into making their costumes when they were little. When my daughter was three I made her a multi-color striped clown suit with a big ruffle around the neck. My nephew wore it the next year, my niece wore it the year after that, then it got passed down to friends. That little clown suit is still probably making the rounds somewhere in Florida. She was an angel the next year and that got passed down too. When my son was little I made him a little gray mouse outfit with a long tail and mouse ears and drew whiskers on his face ... that one is probably still making the rounds somewhere too. [/QUOTE]
