If your little ones come to Madison, WI for college, they can do the "drunk" and the "Halloween" all in one! Ooh, that's a scary thought. Daisys last blog post..I just can't hide it!

Green Jello: I actually had two teenage boys, fourteen or fifteen, no costumes whatsoever (unless denim shorts seventeen sizes too large could be considered a costume). They just stood in front of my gate, without a trick or treat back, wordless, holding out their hands for candy. Fortunately, they were followed by a set of twin girls in homemade fairy costumes. They were about the most adorable things ever.

Apathy Lounge: Ooh, I’ll have to head over. I want to see the pictures.

Kool Aid: No S’mores! Have you had a DNA test?

Green Jello: That’s it. We’re packing up and crossing the state line.

Laurie, when I lived in Nevada, everyone trick-or-treated on October 30th. Why? Because October 31st was "Nevada Day", the day Nevada became a state. And there was no school on the 31st. :) Perfect for teachers! GreenJellos last blog post..Howard Gardner's Eight Types of Intelligence Test

I tried, I really tried to let the kids eat as much as they wanted, but my momminess (is that even a word?) took over after about 5 pieces each. I mean, come on! We had to save room for the s'mores! Which leads me to another funny - apparently Little Man doesn't like s'mores. There must be something wrong with that kid - either that or he isn't mine. Kool Aids last blog post..Halloween

I also love the homemade costumes. They're the best! I don't mind giving treats to teens who dress up. If they aren't, and want candy, they have to sing me a song before I'll give them anything. Some will do it, some will pass. I give out good candy, so they usually pony up with a song. :) GreenJellos last blog post..Blogtations

Ian: I never much cared for the candy either. I can’t say I’ve ever had liquid for Halloween either. We have been guilty of handing out fruit, or whatever else we could find when we ran out of candy. I am also guilty of slipping into the candy supply and helping myself to a couple of sour punch straws this morning so I’m right there with you on the blood sugar levels. A Happy Halloween to you.

Sal: We’re just going around our block a couple of times. The children seem to have more fun handing out the candy than they do going door to door. No, I never visited a house more than once. We’d just walk until exhausted, then cross the street and walk back.

Melissa Donovan: That happens to me every Thanksgiving. Daisy makes at least three different kinds of pasta and I just eat until my head is swimming. It is beautifully indulgent and euphoric.

Melissa (today, the rock star): We should never get too old for Halloween. My wife and I both dressed up this year. I tigger, she a picnic. Of course we have kids, but my sister dressed up and she did it just because Halloween gave her permission.

Bamboo: Fries and ranch dressing for me.

B. Wilde: Put them in the drunk tank! Mine ended up a bit under the weather. Mia had a lollipop “for her throat” and that was it. : > (

Laurie: November 1 – national holiday, what do you think?

As a teacher I was always so glad when Halloween was on Friday or Saturday. That way when the kids woke up the next morning all hung over, they weren’t getting ready to go to school! They could recover with the ones that let them over treat! :O)
