myLot reputation of 98/100. tattylashes (4277) 4 years ago

well we managed to have a fun halloween me nd my 4 year old grandson, because we don't have kids in our street i decided that i should take my grandson out and give away treats to the best costumes, so we toured the streets looking for people who had the best costumes and gave them treats, my grandson made £12.00 in cash and a whole box full of sweets on his travels, then we popped into the local pub where they were having a kids halloween karaoke night, he won a toy gun and some sweets for best dressed kid under 5's, then we went to a fireworks display on the field close to my home, we sat and ate baked potatoes and sausages before we headed off home to watch some cartoons on dvd, because he was staying at my home, i allowed him to stay up later than usual...shhhhh don't tell mummy...wink lol, well he stayed up for an extra hour, so it wasn't that late,he went to bed about 10pm, alkso because it was the weekend, we had so much fun on our little tour last night and he said to me this morning that he had a great time and wished it was halloween again tonight, the only thing we forgot was my camera, so we didn't get any pictures..sad..so how did your halloween go guys, did you have a good one?

What a lovely evening you both had. I did my three younger children some party foods for their teas and then I made their faces up. My 8 year old was half werewolf and half skeleton, my 6 year old was a skeleton, and my 2 year old girl was a werewolf. To say that I had never done face painting before they did not look too bad and the face paints only cost me 99p!

Once they were painted I set up a sweetie treasure hunt that led them finally into the garden where there was a glowing pumpkin and my hubby waiting to scare them to death! Then I came back in and watched the last part of my favourite programme Most Haunted Live!

i think what i will do next year is a sweetie treasure hunt, my garden is way massive so i can hide them all over the place, maybe ask his friends to come along next time, it sounds like you had a great time gem, and all that face painting, only 99p, well at least you got 3 kids out of it...LOL....

Hi, Tatty! It certainly sounds like you had a blast last night! I'm sorry you forgot your camera but can't get upset with you... I've done that so many times myself!

We didn't get one single trick-or-treater! I was hoping that we'd at least get a few, but nope, not a single goblin, ghost, witch, zombie, princess or butterfly. Not one. I'm stuck with all this candy, too! Oh, what to do, what to do? Guess I'll have to eat it all myself. Sigh!

We live in the country AND on a private road, making it a rather long trip for most trick-or-treaters. I just thought that a few who lived close by would come. I thought that at least some of the more greedy kids (or parents) would drive their kids around here because we live in a relatively well-to-do neighborhood... you know, more money, better candy! wink But, no. Sigh!

Next year, I guess I'll just have to 'borrow' some kids and go have fun with them. Maybe I can find a costume party someplace.

I was so upset by no trick-or-treaters that I completely forgot to take pictures of our jack-o-lanterns! I hope to do that tonight, anyway.


myLot reputation of 98/100. tattylashes (4277)  4 years ago

awwww i am sorry that no one came to do trick or treat, you could always go and hand out sweets to the kids who are doing penny for the guy...you know, bonfire night, the kids sit outside shops with a stuffed toy that's MEAN'T to look like guy fawlkes and they ask for pennies...LOL...i have seen some funny guys around lately, there was one kid sat outside the supermarket today with a guy with no legs, i asked him where the legs were and he replied "oh he got frost bite so i just brought his body" LMAO..lol.lol.i love halloween night but like you i live in a secluded place so no one can find my home, also there's only residential homes all along our street so no kids actually ome this way, Jordan loved halloween last night, he wa telling his mum all about it when she came to pick him up....shame about the camera though....sigh!


myLot reputation of 99/100. mentalward (6158)   ranked 4 out of 7,518 in enjoy life  4 years ago

Well, there's always next year!

You just reminded me of when I bought my first video camera. This was way before digital! I had one of those huge clunkers that hurt your shoulder if you recorded too long.

Anyway, I had bought it JUST before Christmas one year because I wanted to record my kids opening their presents on Christmas morning before they got too old. This thing cost $1,000.00! (Yeah, they were relatively new on the market so the price was WAY up!)

When I woke up that Christmas morning, I heard the worst sound I could possibly have heard... my kids tearing open their gifts! Oh, no!!!!!

I shot out of bed, ran downstairs and my jaw just hit the floor. I asked, "Why didn't you wait for me?" "We were too excited, Mom!"

Geesh. Well, there was always next year! cry


myLot reputation of 98/100. tattylashes (4277)  4 years ago

awwww i bet you were gutted when the kids had opened their presents and you didn't get it on camera, i was gutted last night, but yes there's always next year...

Usually i always have something going on on Halloween for my son and myself, however this year it was pretty darn uneventful. I'm due in a few days and haven't had the easiest time getting around lol.. So i let me son go to his dad's for Halloween this year and i sat at home with my hubby watching scary movies all night eating candy. XD It was probaly one of the most uneventful halloweens i have had thus far, but it was however relaxing.. X)


myLot reputation of 98/100. tattylashes (4277)  4 years ago

oooh you only have a few days left...do you mean, your due for a baby in the next few days? if so, congratulations, i am sure your son had a great time doing halloween with his dad....good luck with the birth....please let us know whan that happens...

I posted a discussion last night about how my halloween was. I am certainly sure it is one that I will never forget.
It sounds like you and your grandson had a very enjoyable and nice halloween evening. I think that is the way halloween should be, without people doing mean and vicious things to others.


myLot reputation of 98/100. tattylashes (4277)  4 years ago

oh we did have a great time, we just had so much fun, he loved it and asked me if we could go again tonight, but i told him that it would be more exciting if he waited until next year, the only thing that bothered me was i left my camcorder at home, i wanted to get some videos of him enjoying himself....but we had a blast, just me and him, it was lovely...

It was okay. I stayed home, and we all had an pizza. I was glad to be home. I did not take my kids Trick Or Treating. I was glad that I did not. An 12 year old boy got killed right in the same city and state that I live in. He got killed on Wise Drive last night. It was very sad.. I remember hearing the ambulance sirens all evening long.. This could be the time when the boy was killed. This type of thing, makes me not want to let my kids go Trick or Treating at all! It is a crying shame that the boy got killed while his parents was with him. The mom stayed in the car, while the father and his siblings went to the door. This was a very sad story.. I know that the little boy will be deeply missed when school begins on Monday... Things like this makes it very hard for an parent to just trust anymore.. One bad apple can spoil it for the whole bunch!sadcrycry


myLot reputation of 98/100. tattylashes (4277)  4 years ago

oh i read about that poor boy, so i can understand why you didn't allow your kids to go out, this world is turning into a bloody mess isn't it, kids are killing kids these days, the crime rate here in UK is terrible, in this year alone we have had at least 20 murders all done by kids no older than 18, i feel so bad for that lads family, they must be going through hell right now, so yes i see where your coming from about not allowing the kids to go out...it's awful....

I didn't have any special halloween.
I was at the country side with my girlfriend for 3 days, and we were totally cut from the other world.
And we have forgotten the halloweens also.. but that's nothing, because we don't celebrate that so much here in Estonia.
So my halloween time went quite good, but not with celebrating.


myLot reputation of 98/100. tattylashes (4277)  4 years ago

well at least you had a nice time with your girlfriend, that's all that matters....thankyou...

That sounds really fun! I celebrated halloween with my hubby having dinner with his elder brother and its family. I bought lot of candies for kids whose going to knock on our door for trick or treats. I was excited because I want to see kids with their costumes. I asked my hubby to go to any haunted houses he knew. He took me to the haunted house which took a long drive for us and it was foggy. But when we got there, it's almost done cry But we saw his son walking with some of his friends on costume for trick or treats. I may not have seen the haunted house though I was happy coz he tried to show me the haunted house he was telling me. I guess I have to wait for another halloween celebration again!rasp


myLot reputation of 98/100. tattylashes (4277)  4 years ago

oooh a haunted house, that must have been exciting, i would love to do that.....thankyou...
