I know that mostly only the U.S. has it, but Happy Halloween to those who celebrate it! http://img5.ranchoweb.com/images/lad...pkinbounce.gif Anyone have any special plans? Costume parties? Going trick-or-treating? Giving out candy at home?

I'll be giving out candy later on tonight. We usually get a big crowd too so I have to buy a LOT of candy. Now and then though we get a skimpy crowd and I end up with all that candy LOL. It's different every year so no tellin. This year the weather is really mild so I'm thinking we should get a decent crowd. Hopefully they will all dress up as something. Gets on my nerves when they don't even bother to dress up, or kids trick-or-treat when I know they gotta be 17 or older, which is too old dangit!

Either way, this time around I made extra sure to buy only candy that *I* like, so if there are leftovers I'll actually be kinda glad LOL. Will also be the first Halloween spent snacking on candy instead of chain smoking, yay! (I quit over 2 months ago btw). :D

So what are your plans for tonight?

Happy Haloween to you too! I'm jsut trying not to get egged.

I'll put on the micheal myers mask and scare the hell outta some folks.. [img]smile.gif[/img] Give out candy and then jump into World of Warcraft around 9pm EST of Argent Dawn in Duskwood for a huge party [img]smile.gif[/img]

And DVR "House". [img]smile.gif[/img] Love that show.

Happy Halloween!

PS: My Mod has decorated up for Halloween too! Loads of decorations and stuff.. Will last till Nov 10th.

It's my son's birthday, so in addition to the normal trick-or-treating, we're having a couple of friends over. He already had a special breakfast (bowl of ice cream - his choice [img]smile.gif[/img] ), special lunch (Lunchable, his favorite), and will get a special dinner (McDonald's, I assume... ugh).

Then candy, going house to house, and other fun. We'll have a fire in the fireplace and another in the chiminea on the front porch.

I'm dressed up as Scooter, a garage guy. Only problem... it's hard to tell it's a costume [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Eventually I'll do some gaming, change the IW Trivia contest category, and get to sleep [img]graemlins/sleeping.gif[/img]

*edit* Forgot to add congrats on kicking the habit, LadyZ! Way to go!

Happy Halloween to you too! As you know, I'll be handing out candy all evening too. :D

It's so cool you've go the snacking to do and not the smoking, LZ! I think it's amazing and wonderful you've done the 2 months+ !!

Geez, I haven't had too many try to trick or treat without costumes, but a few do it just about every year... go figure!

Happy Birthday to your little one, Bungleau! Hehe...sounds like he's having all his 'favorites' today because they aren't on his daily list of 'ok' stuff. :D

I love Halloween! Now that my girl is old enough to trick or treat it's possibly my favorite holiday. My wife will be staying home to pass out candy with our newborn (dressed as a pumpkin) and I'm taking out my girl for a candy grabbing blitz. She's Dorothy (we are in Kansas, after all) and I'll be in my customary Jack Lambert costume.

Picture of my girl...

I'll be handing out candy tonight. We usually don't get very many kids because we the neighborhood we live in is small houses, and most don't have kids. We usually get a few though.

I'll admit that I was one who didn't want to dress up as I got older. In junior high, I would have preferred not to go out at all, but my Mom wanted me to go with my little sister. One year I dressed up as a paperboy (which I actually was--which got me extra candy when my customers recognized me). The other year I was trying to come up with a minimal effort costume, and it ended up being my scariest ever. I wore a suitcoat and tie, and used masking tape to spell out "IRS" on a backgammon briefcase. That was the only year I actually had adults screaming in fear and slamming the door shut [img]graemlins/showoff.gif[/img]

I love Halloween! There will be a real nice moon out tonight as well which is an added plus. I'll be handing out treats. Everyone stay safe.

I live out in the sticks, we don't have much Halloween here.

<font color=skyblue>I'm here now waiting to hand out candy...so far only one person has come by.

We do not get many people down this road because most people who trick-or-treat in this area of Winston are white, but my street is predominately black...so I don't lose too much money since not that many people come down this way.

I have a cauldron on the poarch filled with water and some dry ice in it, making the poarch look all smokey and stuff. I think it looks cool.

The kids are out right now with my wife, doing their rounds and I cannot wait to see what they bring back for ME. ;) </font>
