I'm taking Timmy out trick-or-treating tonight.  It's cold enough I doubt we'll go any further than our own cul-de-sac.

How about you folks?

Nothing. Cat is locked away in the garage to protect him from amatuer satanists.

I am going to man the door while my wife takes my toddler Trick-or-Treating.  And I have a paper to write about a play...and unfortunately nothing Halloweenish about the play.

Been going out with my nieces every year since they were born, but not really in the mood tonight.

Pick up kids, rush home, give neighbors a bucket of candy to hand out for me, put up sign on front door, get costumes on both kids, then put winter coats over them so nobody will be able to tell what they're dressed as, and rush over to my brother's house.  If I'm 2 minutes late I'm sure my sister in law will start taking her kids around without me.  Cuz everything's always on her damned stay-at-home-mom schedule.

Payoff will be later tonight, sneaking Reese cups out of Tommy's bag o candy.

My town(and the others in the area) postponed beggars night until Saturday due to some cold temps.

In my day, it would be sleeting and we would go out. No rest until the pillow case is half full.

Yeah, postponing it?  That's fucking pussy... rain or shine, sleet or snow... it's like having a mailman's creed as a kid.

Pottery class. :)

Kids are all too big for trick-or-treating and too young to appreciate giving out candy, so I'm expecting my house to be egged when I get home. :glare:
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Taking Carl out trick or treating.  :)

His costume turned out awesome, if I do say so myself.  :D He's a samurai, in full armour. Pics to follow later.

No kids here, so it's not an important night for me.  The tower keeps children from entering, so I don't even have to worry about seeing them.

Turning all the lights off, locking the doors and pretend no one's home. Like I've done for 20 years.

The baby is dressed up like a skeleton.  My toddler was supposed to be a pirate but he made such a fuss at the custome store he ended up being Thomas the Tank Engine.  Ah well it is all trains all the time it seems.

As an adult, surely honestly obtained Reese's cups are not beyond your grasp? :P

Watch movies, have sex, go to sleep early.  That's what's on my schedule anyway.
