One year, I dressed up as a gorilla to answer the door and scared the sh*t out of quite a few little kids. I ended up taking the costume off, I felt so bad. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-anything-special-for-your-trick-or-treaters#post-1181138 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 08:35:48 +0000 regberadaisy 1181138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I love this idea!!! Can I steal it??? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-anything-special-for-your-trick-or-treaters#post-1181113 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 08:31:20 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1181113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're not trick or treating or having trick or treaters this year but I plan on putting together little goodie bags in the future. Some candy alternatives - like you see in the 'party' section of the store? Fake fangs, stickers, temporary tatoos, etc. I'll have chocolate as a back up in case kids don't want the goodies but I think kids would like a change. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-anything-special-for-your-trick-or-treaters#post-1181111 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 08:30:54 +0000 Boheme 1181111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: That's such a great idea! </p> <p>We don't have a large neighborhood, and we are friends with all the people who have kids. I think they'll be hesitant to ring our doorbell knowing we have a baby! I might make them little treat bags with stickers, etc. since there are only 8 kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-anything-special-for-your-trick-or-treaters#post-1181093 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 08:28:15 +0000 Mrsbells 1181093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually feel guilty giving them candy. It's just weird for me giving all that candy as a "treat" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-anything-special-for-your-trick-or-treaters#post-1181086 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 08:27:03 +0000 Adira 1181086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: When I was little, one of my neighbors did this! They dressed as a scarecrow and had a bucket of candy in their laps. When my brother and I went to take candy, the scarecrow goes "Just take one." It really scared us!!! But now looking back, it was so funny, haha. So creative! And patient to be willing to sit outside and wait for victims! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-anything-special-for-your-trick-or-treaters#post-1181079 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 08:24:21 +0000 Smurfette 1181079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I like it!<br /> @mediagirl: Cute idea! I might steal it. </p> <p>I don't know how many we will even get. Our neighborhood isn't that big, and I am not sure how many kids we have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-anything-special-for-your-trick-or-treaters#post-1181077 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 08:24:11 +0000 swurlygurl 1181077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: HAHAHA - that made me laugh out loud! </p> <p>@mediagirl: That is a pretty awesome idea!! I'm sure you will totally make the night of those 3 kids that get the special bags :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-anything-special-for-your-trick-or-treaters#post-1181073 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 08:23:28 +0000 swurlygurl 1181073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My Dad used to dress himself up like a scarecrow decoration that was sitting next to the front door (slouched over, extra padding in his clothes, straw sticking out of his shirt/pants/socks), and then after they rang the doorbell and were waiting for it to open he would jump up and scare them half to death.<br /> Does that count as doing something special?? Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-anything-special-for-your-trick-or-treaters#post-1181070 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 08:22:41 +0000 blackbird 1181070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, I'm hoping the World Series is on, so I'll probably just throw candy at the kids and go back to my beer :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-anything-special-for-your-trick-or-treaters#post-1181036 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 08:13:40 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1181036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's sweet. One year my homemade costume was an accident victim and I used mood lipstick to create bruises. My favorite costume was store bought when I was a sparkly harem girl.</p> <p>I plan to just open the door with a face mask or make up on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-do-anything-special-for-your-trick-or-treaters#post-1180977 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 07:59:41 +0000 mediagirl 1180977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This year, I put a handful of candies in a ziplock bag with a note that says, "Best Homemade Halloween Costume!" Then on the other side, I wrote little things like, "Keep up the good work, can't wait to see what you are next year!" and "Nicely done! We love your costume and the effort you put into it!" </p> <p>We have three of these bags that I'm going to give out to kids in homemade costumes. They're not fancy and they're not Pinterest-worthy but it's something fun for my husband and me to do. :) We love seeing all of the kids on Halloween so we wanted to do something a little extra special for the kids (or parents) who put in that little extra effort. </p>
