Mine was a 2-yr-old Snow White. She forgot to say trick-or-treat and wanted to come in and pet my kitties. :)

mmonohon 10-31-2010 05:27 PM

None so far and super sad, I have a huge bowl of tootsie pops and bubbles.

craftybear 10-31-2010 05:27 PM

how cute, we didn't have any live in the country

DebraK 10-31-2010 05:28 PM

Mario and a princess.

Leota 10-31-2010 05:29 PM

None so far... lots of mini tootsie rolls and dumdum pops...

luvTooQuilt 10-31-2010 05:30 PM

we live way out in the country. We never get trick or treaters.. ever..

maine ladybug 10-31-2010 05:35 PM

My one and only trick or treater was a jack-o-lantern.

Chele 10-31-2010 05:36 PM

I couldn't tell what the first kid was, but every kid that came was adorable and polite. And no tall teens this year. They'll probably egg or TP my house later. LOL! I almost gave out razors to some last year. If you have facial hair, you might want to give up trick or treating! The littles are so cute though. You just want to eat them up. And my dog wanted to literally eat them up!

NancyG 10-31-2010 05:39 PM

None yet.....but still expecting our 2 grandson's that live next door....which is about an acre away. Use to live in town and got hundreds of little gobblins. I really miss that. Boo hoo!

sewgull 10-31-2010 05:41 PM

16 year old taking his 7 year old brother out trick or treating. Both are nice kids, they live down the street.

Navy Wife 10-31-2010 05:51 PM

Ours was a hay wagon load of 40 tweens. We turned off the light at 7:30 after 300 candies had been handed out. All were cute as could be, and polite. Lots of parents along, most friends of ours. Our DS and DDIL came over to hand out goodies. They love kids, but live in a subdivision with none. In the older part of our subdivision, there are 400 to 500 kids coming by. We're the first group of houses in the city, and all the county kids come here. We have to have police to direct traffic on the other side.

gmaybee 10-31-2010 05:53 PM

We live in the country, so we didn't have any.

Sadiemae 10-31-2010 05:56 PM

I live in town, but the kids don't trick or treat. There are many town activities on main street for them. They did these things last night.

ICU_FOSTERMOM 10-31-2010 05:57 PM

We don't have sidewalks here so everyone goes where it is safer walking with the little ones .

Hunny took Ruthie to the side walk area too.She is only three so she didn't need too much.

Also She went trick or treating at a campground last month and had a great time. She had never been trickortreat before so just the event was wonderful for Her . I think She would have loved it just going around saying hello to people in Her costume . Forget the candy . LOL

BTW No kids come to our house

dream56 10-31-2010 05:59 PM

None here. Anyone for Reese's PB Cups of Kit Kats

abonda 10-31-2010 06:02 PM

I had a group of 10 all small so cute. A little superman about 3yrs old with flaming red hair! soooooo cute. We didn't have as much as you Navy Wife!!!! But I turned the lights out at about 7:30 when I ran out of goodies. I don't really think the kids liked my treats though, I gave out little bags of pretzels They always get way too much candy from everyone else. I was trying to be good to the parents. but the kids just went Oh Pretzels? lol

mountain-moma 10-31-2010 06:04 PM

A little princess 3yrs old she was so very beautiful....We only had 2 all together...Got plenty suckers left with cute little pumpkin faces on them...Our trick or treaters came last evening Saturday :)

sunflower126 10-31-2010 06:06 PM

Ours was held on Thurs night. Our first was a cheerleader and a football player. We had more kids than ever this year. Many were driven in from other areas. A lot of cars dropping kids off and large groups of kids. Some areas had Halloween tonight.

ICU_FOSTERMOM 10-31-2010 06:08 PM

Speaking of Reese's

My Hunny bought 2 bags of candy, one of them the pb cups...and He knows we don't get kids at our door.

Hummmmm...What do You think that's all about...???

LOL

redkimba 10-31-2010 07:12 PM

I suspect that most of the kids came by last night, or would have if I was home.

Nobody came home tonight. Now what will I do with these Smartie candies???

magnolia 10-31-2010 07:13 PM

We've had several trick-or-treaters here. I don't remember what the first one was. But, several of the littlest trick-or-treaters have asked if they could take Penny trick or treating! (my chihuahua-she is wearing a pumpkin costume)

JanTx 10-31-2010 07:14 PM

A little butterfly came by our ... truck! At our church we had "Trunk for Treats" as we lined our cars/trucks with the backs to the sidewalk to pass out treats. Had hot dogs in the fellowship hall and kids played on the lawn outside. Great fun for all - got to visit with our church family members and hand out treats. The friend and I who worked together had pencils and a Hidden Picture paper to hand out. The rest of the vehicles had candy. (Do your pretzels seem better than that?) :)

melslove 10-31-2010 07:19 PM

I think our first one was a monk, not sure but he had on a brown robe with a big cross. LOL, dont think i have ever seen a monk trick or treater. :)

SherriB 10-31-2010 08:05 PM

Our little DGD was the first. She went outside and knocked on the door and Papaw filled up her little bucket. LOL!

Our first were a darling pumpkin and a monkey...our grandkids! Our adult kids and MIL came for a quick supper of soup and pumpkin pie just before trick or treat started. We had 338 kids in just under two hours and turned out the light when we ran out of candy. I thought I bought enough to last the entire 3 hours, but there were more than ever this year. Kids in town love our neighborhood of older homes and mature trees and flock here.

We had a family, the Mom was Dorothy, the dad was Tin Man, the 3 year old was the Lion, and the baby was a scarecrow. They all looked really cute, and the mom and dad were very realisitic in homemade costumes. A real family affair.

We had a clown and a buzz light year. My kids and I went around for awhile before we started passing out candy, so with the exception of two or three smaller kids, most of the kids that came were teenagers. We ended up with very little candy left over in our bowl because my daughter was VERY generous.

My kids are going to send their candy to their daddy. They have already gone through it and picked out a few pieces for themselves and the rest went in MIL-PAC to send overseas. My dh doesn't eat much candy, but he said he would see if he could give it out to the local kids. If not, he figured he would be pretty popular with the guys that have been over there for awhile.

We don't have any trick or treaters, we live to far off the beaten path.

Aussie Quilter 10-31-2010 10:57 PM

I had four 18 or 19 year old girls turn up on the doorstep just after 9.30 last night, who when I opened the door, yelled "trick or treat" into my face! "Sorry girls, I don't believe in it." Oh, OK" and they left. Didn't look as if they had scored much either. I'd been wondering what had been setting all the neighbour hood dogs off since 7.30.

The only other time I had them was about 5 years ago when 3 7-9 year olds turned up before dark. Didn't have a sweet in the house, so gave them apples - not a popular choice I might add by the looks on their faces.

What age do they usually stop dressing up and going around (I don't mean those escorting young children)? It's not a big thing here in Australia, although the el cheapo shops do sell a few things.

FortMyers 10-31-2010 11:00 PM

Don't remember the first one, but had loads of cuties. Unfortunately we only had about half of the number of trick or treaters this year I think it was because it was a school night, we have loads of candy left over.

sew cornie 10-31-2010 11:19 PM

We have an adult foster home directly across the street. One of the residents is in her mid 30's and is our first trick-or-treater every year. She was outside in her costume at 4:30 this afternoon watching her caretaker mow the lawn, but she waited until dark to come to our door. I'd bet she put on her costume first thing this morning. She gets so much joy from this activity and we're always glad when she comes by.

We have a trunk or treat at the church parking lot and every one ( members and non members of our faith) all bring their candy and the kids go from car to car and get candy and when you are out of candy you leave the parking lot. They also have games and a hot dogs and fun things inside the church culture hall for all the kids. This is a safe way to let the kids enjoy Halloween. Some of the parents decorate their car trunks and dress up in costumes. We have participating merchants donate the food and prizes and even people that can’t stay bring bags of candy to have handed out for them. FUN FUN FUN HALLOWEEN

We celebrate on Saturday night.

We didn't have any trick or treaters last night.

finch 11-01-2010 03:05 AM

I had one little pirate,but there was a double homicide about 7 minutes from my house in Deltona, at about 4:30 so I think the parents kept the kids at home.

Nanjun 11-01-2010 03:32 AM

My little great granddaughter dress in grass skirt and coconut shell bra. She is 3. Too cute.

GladGrams 11-01-2010 03:54 AM

Now remember I am in Norway, my first trick or treaters were on "Saturday" evening, 2 little adorable girls who had NO idea they were a day early. Last night - no one. LOL

pojo 11-01-2010 04:54 AM

none

Roberta 11-01-2010 05:09 AM

We had a banner year, four trick-or-treater's came which is our all time record. We also live in the country and our road is very dark so we were surprised they came but they had flashlights, smart kiddo's

Ooooo! I love smarties!

Trick or Treat was to be held on Sat. pm in our town from 5-8. I can't remember the first ones that came, but I do remember the one family that came on Sunday evening. There were three cute little ones all dressed up (and Mom taking pictures). The cutest was their dog. He was a good sized boxer dressed up in a King outfit. He had a crown on his head and his cape had an ermine collar and ermine on the cuffs of his sleeves. He would have been handsome even without a costume!
