Will your LOs trick or treat this year?

Sep5Bride · September 2014

I feel like DD would really enjoy trick or treating this year, especially if we went with some of the "older" (3, 4 y/o) neighbor kids, but I don't want her to eat all the candy. My concern for taking her is that she will definitely latch on to this candy as "mine!" (even though she doesn't know what candy is) and I don't want to cause a meltdown when we could just avoid it. Are you taking your LOs this year, or waiting until they're older?

We go "trick-or-treating" at a large strip mall that has a Halloween parade and many activities for the kids. It is geared toward kids of all ages and most places have options if pretzels and stickers. Of course there is some candy too. And (this part is still strange to me) around here, Halloween is "scheduled" on a weekend during designated times (always on the weekend). Many towns have it on different days and at different times, so it is not as crazy.

Dd will go with ds, we'll probably just do our street then go home while dh and ds finish the neighborhood. I'll give her a couple pieces of candy and then it will disappear while ahe sleeps and she will never remember it exists.

We will take dd trick or treating to a few friends who live nearby. Maybe a house or two with her cousin too.

DS isn't great with always holding our hand so I'm not sure he's quite ready yet. I think we will wait another year or two.

I haven't really decided. We moved to a new house this year and I'm fairly confident that we won't get any visitors. I'm thinking just taking DS into town for the first 1/2 hour just because I know he'd love it. I actually don't think he'll really even think about the candy, will just love the walk.

Our town does a little trick-or-treat down Main Street that we'll probably go to but we're planning on taking him to my ILs for actual Halloween. Our "neighborhood" is weird and is only one street. This is our first year here and I have no idea if anyone actually does anything.

Our compound does trick or treating and so DD will probably walk around while DH gives out candy at our townhouse.

My church does a trunk or treat that she'll go to. Haven't decided on regular trick or treating

I think DS would get a kick out of ringing doorbells and collecting candy so we'll take him to DH's parents and maybe a few friends houses in our neighbourhood. I still can't bring myself to let him eat more than a piece or two of candy so it still may be a couple years before we go out for the mother-load.

We will take DD trick or treating this year, im sure she will love it. As far as the candy goes DH and I will help her with that part.

Our town does a trick or treat in the downtown but it is extremely congested and pretty much chaotic. So I don't think we are going to go that route this year. J is still not great at holding hands. However, he might do good in the stroller...so we'll see.

On Trick or Treat night we'll take J to both Grandparent's house for sure and we've been invited by friends who have a 4, 2 year old going trick or treating....so we might go with them in the old neighborhood we used to live in. Luckily ours is from 5 to 7:30pm. So that is plenty early to go to a few doors.

I'm hoping to just let him keep a few suckers, a few chocolate items. But we'll keep the rest away.

The Switch Witch is a great idea!!

If I'm not in the hospital (DS2 is due Halloween), we'll be going to the grandparent's houses and the daycare lady's house. Maybe a few more if DS1 seems into it. For purely selfish reasons, I hope this baby is a little early because DS1 is going to be a giraffe, and I found a great newborn giraffe hat at our local children's boutique that I'm going to get if he comes before Halloween.

Heck yes we are going! I was actually trying to get DS to understand the concept of trick or treating yesterday afternoon. He was starting to get that when he said it, I would put one of his toys into a bucket. We probably won't go for long or very far---and the candy will definitely be making a disappearance somewhere....maybe to my desk drawer at work.

after he eats a piece or two.

We will do some houses in our neighborhood and then come home to pass out candy. She can have. Few pieces but my DH is really excited to eat her spoils!
