What time are you taking your dc(s) trick or treating?

[lucysmam]

And what are you up to? ('Cause I'm nosey and a bit bored).

Dd2 is itching to show off her costume already & has been practising her joke in case anyone asks for a 'trick' (yes, I know it's not a trick, but she has the timing down to a fine art!)

We're actually not going until their dad gets here from work & we've all had tea, so maybe 6pm ish for an hours wander and then home.

I've set her on with sticking many spider cut-outs up in the hallway for the mo, which is keeping her very busy

What time do you head out?

We get visitors between about 5pm and 7:30pm, peak time between 6pm & 7pm.

After 7:30pm we've usually run out and shut up shop, and I think by then it's mainly older teens chancing their arm anyway.

We are going about half 5.

She's 8yo. Very very enthusiastic...she's just nipped into the kitchen to tell me she's off to pick makeup

I've run out of vaguely spooky things to do except a couple of light up balloons with stickers to make creepy faces on them.

Green spaghetti and eyeball meatballs sounds good; we had spooky shaped sandwiches, severed fingers with blood to dunk (cocktail sausages and ketchup),acid baked ghosts and bats (Lidl pickled onion flavour, shaped crisps), pumpkinbread (pumpkin shaped gingerbread) and bats poo (raisins) for lunch . I didn't think to do spooky later on too!
