3 days early, But to everyone who celebrates Halloween...
HAPPY HALLOWEEN,
Be safe and careful.
Anyone dressing themselves, or their children as a Silver Dollar City character this year? ;D
I'm gonna be a saloon girl!! :-*
And wear one of my many SDC garters!!
cool!! I'm just going too have a small fire in the fire pit and hand out candy and enjoy all the kids in there costumes. no dressing up for the wife and i ;D
We dress up and scare the kids when they come for treats.It's too cold to stay outside, we've had snow up here in WI. several times this week..and more to come next week.
Boy I haven't done Halloween for a few years now (ok since 2008 when I moved here), used to dress up and scare the kids or go to the parties. I love Halloween though, so watch all the scary movies when I can. Plus it's Lance's birthday on the 30th so always get him a "scary" cake and such. I keep candy in the jar this time of year instead of mints.... :D I do miss the whole holiday, maybe next year? ??? I still can't get over that it's Xmas decorations in Branson everywhere already. :o
Cheesehead.....what are you two going to be, bet it's good! Hope the snow doesn't keep all the kids home on Monday! ;)
We have maybe 15 kids all night in our neighborhood (we live in a VERY popuated area in the suburbs of StLouis). My parents, 5 miles away get hundreds, it is simply the ages of our neighborhoods. Haven't even bought any candy yet!
My church did a Trunk or Treat tonight. A few of the kids from the church dressed up. We had police officer, a pirate, a surfer (khaki shorts and a Hawaiian shirt, his mom insisted he was a surfer... whatever), a paper doll, a chicken/duck (nobody could figure out exactly what he was). My favorite was the newest member, 2 month old Barrett. Everyone calls hims "bear" for short, so he was a teddy bear! We had a 6 month old (Connor) who wouldn't stay inside in the nursery because he wanted mom who was in charge of things, so she couldn't stay inside with him. His parents only brought him a jacket because they expected him to stay inside. He was getting cold so another mom brought her son (Josiah)'s hat and a blanket for Connor to stay warm. Connor's mom kept saying he was going as Josiah for Halloween.
It was fun seeing the kid's from around town coming in in their costumes :)
One girl had on bunny ears, got all the candy and food she was allowed to have, came back about 10 minutes later with rabbit ears so she could have more candy. She kept saying the other girl was her twin, but I doubt her and her twin would both have the same scar above their eyebrow and koolaid mustache lol
We had one boy from the church who dressed like a pharaoh but he kept complaining because a button fell off of his costume and everybody kept saying he was wearing a dress because it came down to his feet. He got mad and was running around saying it was a tunic! lol
Halloween 1980. I had not turned in my SDC costume for the year yet. I was invited at the last minute to a costume party at a friends house on Fall Creek Road in Branson. Guess who showed up at the doorstep...Junior Dugan.
I am takin my kiddo out!! He is spiderman, original I know, and I am going to be a speed bump! My hubby is going to be the speed limit sign. FUN! btw: Terry is having a costume contest.....if you win you get either one of his DVDs or a personalized video.
Speed Bump???
I hate to, But i got to.. how does that work???
??? ???
yellow sweats with black teadmarks painted on. thats it.
we will be helping my friend with his haunted trail tonight. my wife will have a micro-phone & will be talking with kids as a witch from a unknown spot. i am going as a confused mental pateint. i am shaving half my beard & hair off, should look pretty funny. i need to shave anyways.. i will also be walking the trail with a video camera so my friend can put it on his website & FB page. i will try to post something once they get everything loaded up.
i believe his website is skullshaunting.com
lol missing green trams that's funny and a dern good idea. it always scares me in my neighborhood that a child is going to get hit. i pray for everyone safe return home.
I equip my son with enough blinking light necklaces and flaslights and relective tape to land a plane. I just hope I dont get too hot in my costume!

I hope somebody does not report him to the FFA!!! HAVE FUN!!
missing the green trams, I'm not sure how old you are and it doesn't really matter, but back when i trick or treated in the 70s and early 80s we had them plastic mask's and and costumes, hard too see out of them masks and hard too breath (depending ) on the type of mask but i look back at them days and think how easy it would have been to be hit by a car trip and fall wow anyway I'm glad you have enough lights and blinky things too land a plane. lol
I just turned 24 yesterday (whooo!).....and I paint his face due to mask issues. He wears regular tennis shoes with good tread. I do everything short of a leash and homing device. I get very paranoid around this holiday due to the weridos that run around and the people who party irrisponsible like. I love halloween as much as the next person its just it makes me nervous......
as i do also missin the green trams. yes in todays world you can never be too carefull,what we did was we never let the kids go alone or even with there friends, we went with them and then we would come home and have a small parrty if it wasnt a school night. i am 40 but still a kid at heart all my kids are too old too trick or treat now so untill the grandbaby is old enough the wife and i will hand out candy and watch all the kiddos have a blast. lol the grandbaby isnt even born yet and im already looking forward too taking him trick or treating. lol
This was the first year I had heard of a trunk or treat...but it is a good concept to keep kids safe. Someday if I am able to take a little one trick or treating, I will be hard pressed to allow them to eat candy from strangers. I know it sounds paranoid, but I would think very much about allowing them the process of going door to door, but sub their candy with 100% safe candy. I am weird I know.
nothing weird about that rube, with the weirdo's in to days world i cant blame you, we always went through the kids candy before they ate it, i know its still not 100% but it made me feel better and we never allowed them too eat anything home made. had too be in a wrapper. and the state where i live (Illinois) it is illeagle for anyone on the sex offender's list too hand out candy or even have there porch light on.
Trunk or treat is a great alternative, and I too live in that sex offender law state. But it only applies to those convicted after 2008......:/ anyhow. I take my kid to a few of those, and there are certain streets in my town the I feel comfortable taking him to. Its not really paranoid to be safe. As long as you dont take the fun outta it, para-noy away!!!
lol ;D
Nothing paranoid about it!
"WE" have to protect the little ones... as parents/grandparents its our job. ;D
While my sister sat at her boyfriend's house to hand out candy, I drove his two younger sisters around town and we only stopped at people's houses we knew. We also stopped at a local church's trunk or treat, but it was right before it was over so everybody was packing up their cars by the time we got there. I made the younger one cry (she's 8 ) because I wouldn't let her eat anything til I got her back to her house and her mom could go over what they were allowed to have and what they weren't, due to allergies and fillings and such. In my defense, the younger one cries about everything! She was a dinosaur and she threw a fit because she didn't like the hood even though she's the one who insisted on getting the outfit.

Note how I look like I'm about to throw up because I ate atleast 3lbs of candy all by myself and the curl came out of my hair from the humidity and trying to keep the kids out of the street.
A friend was taking the picture and she said, "Try to look happy."
I said, "YOU eat 4,000 peices of candy corn and try to look happy."

I had a lot more than 133 (134 now), but one day, the number shrank drastically, and I don't know why.
