    One of my kids decided to be a Pokemon card this year! They’d already found one of the custom card generator websites, so he designed the card, and we got that and an upscaled image of a pokemon card back printed, and slapped those on some foamboard with a ribbon harness!

    He got a ton of compliments for it, he was very pleased with himself! Lot more adults than I expected recognized it right away, too

    My wife was in a cow onesie and I was in all black with a foam ball secured to my shoe. It had the word “moon” on it. I’d hold my foot out and she’d jump over it. We were the cow jumps over the moon!

    Went out soon after the trick-or-treaters came out to go see what the neighbours display looks like at night. Luckily I don’t live right next to them.

    Went to supermarkets to see how much halloween candy they have left, and if they’ve started discounting them… Looks like the shelves are still full (I can’t imagine how much stuff they have behind the scenes) and no discounts yet.

      They don’t discount them any more around me and it breaks my heart. I used to live for those sale candies.

    Finished my Cosmic crow costume and I’m gonna be dancing to my customized Halloween playlist for 3 hours while I give out candy.

    Joining a big protest today and after that I’m just heading home for dinner and a cozy evening. I might watch some Halloween episodes of TV shows I like.

    Wearing 12kg of armour, a stifling skull mask I can barely see in, and carrying a foam replica of the berserk sword. Going to follow my kid around and try not to die.

    Definitely: throwing a bash. Got the house like 90% decorated, still gotta make a couple treats but I’ve got the set list and food and everything else ready and I can’t wait.

    Hopefully: handing out candy to trick or treaters. Recently moved to a cute neighborhood, I got a bunch of sweets and the front porch light will be on as long as I’m awake pretty much.

    Halloween is my top favorite holiday and sharing mischievous joy is how I like to celebrate 😄🎃

      Every year I always underestimate how long its gonna take to decorate the whole house and every year I’m decorating until the last possible second.

    Out with the girls, then we came back for toasted marshmallows over the firepit and a home brew. (see mo post in Dull Men’s Club)

    The girls are all about to be off to bed - I doubt that there will be any sleep for a while yet though.

      This comment (namely, the age of “the girls” and why there won’t be sleep for a while) is awfully ambiguous for someone that did not see your previous post, especially with the home brews. Lol.

      I wanted to toast marshmallows in the backyard but I couldn’t get my den clean on time and didn’t want people to walk through and see my yarn shame. (I got into a discount bin and it got out of hand)

    I give away candy and love it. I live between 2 schools and have had around 200 kids each of the last few years. I have 12 pounds of candy, 120 packs of instant ramen, and a box of paperback books to give away. Ramen was surprisingly well received last year. Each year I manage to give away all the candy and have to close up early. I hope tonight goes well.

      That’s so fun!! I love when we get a ton of trick or treaters. All their different costumes and the little kids, it’s so wholesome! Good luck tonight :)

        The ramen was an idea from an Instagram vid I saw a few years ago. The books are new this year - had a book based trunk or treat event get cancelled and I have w bankers boxes worth of middle school and elementary level books. Seems like the right kind of time to give them away.

          If I knew someone was giving away books when I was a kid, it’d be my favorite house! Hope it’s going well!!

    I get around 250+ trick or treaters every year. So I have 30lbs of candy ready, I might need another 10 or so. Maybe I’ll go get some of my favorites. You know just in case I need it.

    Last year I barely had enough and only had like 5 pieces of candy at the end of the night. I had to wrestle my 16 year old to get into his stash the next day. It was so much easier to steal his candy when he was little. Little shits been hitting the weights this year as well.

      250 trick or treaters!? I wish. I get maybe a dozen max. What’s the best costume so far?

        Just staring here now. First 20 minutes her so only about 30. So far a little girl is dressed as odie and her brother is dressed at Garfield. She was happy because she got to lick her brother.
