Guest guest Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 This week's group questions are about plans and party ideas for this time of year. Do you host or attend any Halloween parties? What sort of treats or foods do you prepare to celebrate? Are you dressing up? Going out? Staying home and handing out candy?

We're new in town and don't really know anyone, and besides, DH's business trip which was supposed to last until the 29, got extended another week. He's really the one into Halloween. But I did get little tubs of playdoh to hand out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 We're attending a party at my son's martial arts studio this year. He'll dress up as usual (the boys try to see who can come up with the most disgusting costume), and I'll just go as myself. LOL! :-D Everyone has to bring a dish, but I'm bringing three. Just to be sure there's enough food for everyone coming. :-D On Halloween night, my husband will be working late, and this is the first time that he hasn't been home for trick-or-treating. So now I'm trying to figure out whether to put my huge bowl of treats on the porch with a note that says " Happy Halloween! Help Yourself! " while I take my son out trick-or-treating. Or...whether I should just leave my light off while I take my son out, and then turn it back on to give candy out when we return. Sure wish my husband was going to be home earlier. It's always worked so well with him taking our son out while I give out candy...and then he comes home and gives out candy while I take my son out in the opposite direction. :-D Pat Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 i love halloween, but my husband and my son could care less. this year i'm taking my son to a pumpkin carving party at our friends' house....that's saturday morning. that night his school is having a parents' night out halloween party...drop off the kids at the school and they party down there while the parents go out for a quiet dinner or something. a classmate from his school is having a party sunday afternoon. monday night, we will stay at home and hand out candy. i'll make spaghetti for dinner, like i have for the past several halloweens, and try to pass it off as bloody guts/worms and my family will not be amused (and probably won't eat). lol. my son doesn't want to dress up and doesn't want to trick or treat. he enjoys handing out candy instead. we get hundreds of trick or treaters. we usually just sit outside and visit with neighbors in between swarms of trick or treaters. it's still a pretty fun night. i checked out a couple of books about mexico's 'day of the dead " at the library and i thought it would be interesting to read those and make some 'pan de muertos (bread for the dead). one of these days i would like to make/decorate some of those cool sugar skulls....i know you can order kits online, but i never think to do it in time. maybe we'll make some paper mache skulls or something. i hope we can find the time to do that. susie --- ~ PT ~ <patchouli_troll wrote: > This week's group questions are about plans and > party > ideas for this time of year. > Do you host or attend any Halloween parties? > What sort of treats or foods do you prepare to > celebrate? > Are you dressing up?

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 We aren't really doing anything this year however my daughter is talking about going to school as grafiti. I think that is a funny costume. She has jeans that everyone has written on and a pair of converse sneakers with writing on them. She will wear a shirt with writing or things drawn on the top half and let her friends write or draw on the bottom half... I thought that was great when she told me this on the way home from school tonight. When my kids where little my husband used to stay home and pass out the candy and I would take both kids trick or treating. Gayle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 What a great costume idea!! It sounds like your daughter is very creative and artistic. I don't think I could have ever come up with a unique idea like this when I was younger. Heck, I can't come up with good ideas like that now! LOL! I just buy my son's costumes off the rack. Two years ago, he wanted to be a Ninja, and when I took him to a Halloween party that year, there must have been 30+ little boys running around as Ninjas. So nope, no unique costumes here. :-D Pat :-D FareChase: Search multiple travel sites in one click. http://farechase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
