And actually, this year, I had mostly little kids. Previous years, I always had several kids I thought were a little old to be trick or treating. Not this year. Some cute costumes too. Several little girls dressed up like Sarah Palin and some cool skeleton-type costumes too. One kid was actually hissing through his skull mask; sort of creeped me out.

I was trying to be Ted Nugent but I came off as looking more like Stevie Ray Vaughn.

Well, I spent my evening taking my two sons (aka Pirate Guy and Tigger) through several suburban developments accompanied by my niece (aka Hannah Montana) and several other sugar-jacked five year olds. I'm not sure who was more exhausted by night's end, my wife and I or the kids. We poured our boys into bed around 8:30 PM and they were both asleep before they hit their pillows. Now I'm resting my sore feet and enjoying a beer. Happy Halloween everybody!

The family came to the station, and then we went to a High School football game but we had to leave at half-time because of some drunk chick. Now we're back at the station and I just got done with some before-bed chores. No horror movies today! It was one of those weird work days where we were busy all day but most of the business was dept. nonsense and just so called 'busy-work'.

I took my nephew, Jake out around the neighborhood (he was a skunk) for the first time trick or treating (he's 3). He did quite well and we had a good time. My sister and her husband and the dog were with us while my parents watched the triplets at home and passed out candy. It was a nice day off and I had a good time with my family. Hope everyone else had a great time and a very safe night. Peace.

It's that time of year again, folks...

That "Guy in an Iron Maiden shirt and sweats" costume worked out pretty well for me last year so I'll probably repeat it.

Seriously though, Halloween is on a Saturday this year... my six year old is totally psyched... he probably thinks I'm going to spend eight or nine hours taking him trick or treating all around town. Haha. Not bloody likely. We'll go out but it won't be till late afternoon...

Rumor has it they're talking about possible rain on Saturday as well. Figures. Kids finally get Halloween on a non-school day, which only happens once every seven years, and it might get rained out.

LOL!!! I will probably throw on a Maiden t shirt too while I take Megatron and Snow White (Again!!!! My daughter loves to be Snow White!!!!) My 7 year old is more excited then ever this year.

Happy Halloween Everyone!

We worked the local haunted house (actually a haunted trail this year). I played two different characters this year. Yesterday I dress as a priest for a costume contest at work. Today my family and I will be going to see a hockey game. Happy Halloween.

So in the US Halloween is ging on for days?

I went to a few parties, but dont ask cause I dont remember

I had less Trick or Treaters this year than in year's past. Not sure why. The weather was perfect but I have a ton of leftover candy that I'll be taking to work tomorrow.

It'll be interesting to see how long it lasts at work. Even though I've got probably 50+ candy bars, I bet it doesn't make it to week's end.

Some things I learned during this year's Trick or Treat session (I give out full-size candy bars):

I rule!!!!

This house rocks!!!

This is the house everyone's talking about!!!

Trying to buy friends with candy? Hmmm.....at least you're not driving around in a side panel van.



Seriously though, that's awesome that you give full sized candy bars. Hail to you brother!

I took the girls trick or treating. I always have fun watching them. It's a right of childhood. I feel bad for kids who are denied the fun. Momma stayed home and handed out the candy. We've had our house in Halloween decor since early October and I have a corner of my garage that has Halloween lights year-round.

My youngest and I watched the original Halloween while the oldest was at a birthday party. No nightmares were reported last night.

Drank my usual arsenal of High Lifes, and smoked an entire pack of cigarettes. Rode my skateboard in my ninja costume to the local liquor store for some pizza. Good party was good. Passed out around 4.00am.

Set up a haunted graveyard and passed out candy. We were the only house on the block that decorated.... Most kids didn't even bother dressing up.

The weather was kinda crappy in NJ so the kids only trick or treated for about 45 minutes. Even so they still got a pretty good haul cuz every house we went to, the people were like "Wow, you're the first trick or treaters we've had all day! Here, take a whole bunch!"

We only had three kids come to our door, and they only came cuz they're in my son's class and he told them where we lived.

Took my two kids trick or treating.We always take them to a local church were they have a trunk or treat type thing.Its pretty good.Then we always stop by some friends house and watch scary movies.This years movie-Halloween

Slammed a bottle of NyQuill and cried myself to sleep.

My band played our first show in our new hometown, it was kick ass!
