Put your Halloween traditions here!
We got two pumpkins on Sat. We got out of the habit of carving when SIL turned her annual carving party into a "you can't take then home, I'm using them to decorate my restaurant" labor camp. Sad to see you go, awesome punkins!
Now with B we might carve them this week. What a mess we'll make! And my sis has now claimed Halloween as her holiday, so she'll have a party we'll prolly go to since we get zero trick or treaters in my hood. Last year B spent the whole time screaming, so I'm hoping she'll be more social this time. She's going to be a sunflower. I have no idea what DH and I will be. We've half assed it in the past, no telling what we'll pull out of out ass this time. The only time I've put in effort, I was Wonder Woman and I milked it for 3 years. It's still my favorite.
Enough about me. Whatcha got?
Tradition!

Re: Tradition!
We were all about the trick or treating when I was a kid. My mom made our costumes every year and was SUPER creative with it. We always went to the fabric store to pick our patterns and fabric, which was fun. I definitely remember eating McDonald's most Halloweens before trick or treating.
I am buying Charlotte a store-bought tiger costume this year because I don't have time to sew. We'll take her around to the neighbor's houses in her little wagon to show off her cuteness, and then head home to sit in the yard and pass out candy. We'll get lots of visitors - I teach at the neighborhood school and know many neighbor kids. That's going to be our tradition for now!
My park had a haunted hay ride and festival so we'd go to that first and start trick or treating from the park.
In the future, I hope to trick or treat with the cousins but we will go alone this year since they're 700 miles away. I'll make chili and carve pumpkins. H and I will watch a scary movie after Howell is in bed.
We don't have any Halloween traditions. I'm not even sure I'm dressing T up yet this year. Maybe we'll do a mall walk or something. My ass really doesn't need a bunch of candy in my possession.
What we really like to do is go to Magic Kingdom for the Mickey's not so scary Halloween party. But sadly we don't live close and only make that every 5 years or so.
