5. It is like this every year around here....
My neighborhood seems to be Chicago's trick or treating theme park. The kids love it....

7. I don't know how many I've had - probably about 50-60
It's been a lot of fun. I just had the cutest little boy dressed as Mr. Potato Head. He was probably about 2-1/2. :D

I screamed at them about how scary they were. They laughed.

12. Classic!
My favorites among the older kids - three boys dressed as the Keystone Kops! They had great costumes! :D

4. Have you considered taking in a movie next year?
You've done duty for at least Halloweens, if not more!

6. Nah...
I was invited to the triplets' house for dinner tonight (they are only 4, their father was cooking). But had I left, my 92-year-old mother would have sat in the dark. This is not a night I cannot be home. The kids love it. And I like seeing them have such a good time.

13. We have had 0
I think there have been 6 in the last ten years total. I am at the bottom of a cul-de-sac that winds up a steep hill. There are houses only on one side of the street. Not worth the effort I guess.:shrug:

14. What? I live about 6 blocks down from you, and I didn't see a single one!
Nobody on my block even has a freakin' jack-o-lantern! Well, we're going to look for a house up past Devon, so maybe we'll have better luck next year.

Happy Halloween, GAofT!

15. North of Devon????
No idea what happens around there.

My street seems to be Halloween central.

17. A Sunday get-together? Maybe...
But I am swamped. Remember that Moody's meetup in September? I said that the only thing that would keep me from going would be if I found a job? Well, I found one, and I've been working like a dog ever since. I'll see if I can get it together for the 7th.

16. I had three this year,
None last year. Not a lot of kids in my neighborhood. It's become mostly older people without little kids at home.

20. I had zero
I live in the bad part of town. Even the kids who live right next door don't trick-or-treat in their own neighborhood here.
