Last year DD was 4 so we trick or treated on our whole street which is probably about 20 or 25 houses. We ended up having to carry DS a lot of the way because at 2, he got tired pretty quickly. When DD was 2 and 3 and DS was a baby we just did a few houses near us, maybe 5 or 6. They love answering the door and handing out candy. I am pretty sure DD enjoyed answering the door as much or more than trick or treating.

ours are 3y.o. and 16mo and we'll go to a few houses. Last year I took my DD to a few houses, DS didn't go. There are also activities in Ashburn/Leesburg area on Sat that we are going to, during the day.
on Mon, we'll do dinner, bath and then put on costumes and go out, after we come back, we'll just have to put on PJs and brush teeth and then - it's bed!
Last year we only went to a few houses of people who know us in the neighborhood, this year we might do the same, but also hit other houses. DD has a relatively early bedtime (7:00), and we try to stick to that give or take 30 minutes, so it's a little limiting for stuff like this.
We're going to go trick-or-treating to a few houses on our street. I'm not sure how long we'll be out; it depends on how long M stays happy and interested.
DD will go trick or treating with us. DS has participated trick or treating in some form for every Halloween except his first (when he was 6 months old). The first year, we only visited one or two houses b/c he was really frightened of a lot of decorations. Then he just helped us hand out candy.
When DD was 19 months we took her to a few houses on our block. This year, at 2.5, we'll take her to a few more houses with DS in tow, he's nine months.
We're actually going to my dad's house for the evening. He loooves handing out candy and seeing the little kids' costumes, but he barely gets any trick or treaters so I think C will make up for that. My cousin's town does trick or treating this Saturday, so we're going to visit for that and a little party afterwards.
Our trick or treat traffic has dropped dramatically in recent years (which is really odd - we live in a safe neighborhood and there are a lot of houses per street), so I don't feel too bad about not being home on Halloween night. As DH said, "This way we don't have to waste $60 in candy for my coworkers to eat."
We didn't take DS trick or treating until he was 2 and 2 months. Before that, I just did play group halloween parties. This year he's 3 and trick or treating and has several Halloween parties.
