Once we fonish d, we sat outside and passed out more candy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-stays-home-and-who-goes-toting#post-2646337 Tue, 01 Nov 2016 15:32:19 +0000 delight 2646337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both went and my mom came over to hand out candy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-stays-home-and-who-goes-toting#post-2646302 Tue, 01 Nov 2016 14:39:18 +0000 sapphire 2646302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh and we ran into some neighbors while we were out and just told them we'd be back in 10-15 and they waited to visit until we were home again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-stays-home-and-who-goes-toting#post-2646121 Tue, 01 Nov 2016 10:14:10 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2646121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both went because my sister in law came over to hand out candy for us. I wouldn't have minded staying home but it was really fun to go out and watch my little boy. I actually dressed up this year- very unlike me but I'm pregnant and I think this is going to be a fun baby because he/she inspired me to dress up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-stays-home-and-who-goes-toting#post-2646119 Tue, 01 Nov 2016 10:11:49 +0000 caterw 2646119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both went ToTing because our apartment doesn't get trick or treaters :( We end up going to events around town since there isn't anywhere safe to walk near us. </p> <p>I would love to stay home and hand out candy one year- maybe alternate with DH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-stays-home-and-who-goes-toting#post-2646110 Tue, 01 Nov 2016 10:02:59 +0000 Smurfette 2646110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This year I left the neighborhood party and came home and handed out candy. We have a small neighborhood so only like maybe 15 kids. I did leave the bowl out beforehand for the kids that didn't come to the party and just went ToT. DH said that LO had a blast with her new friend she made. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-stays-home-and-who-goes-toting#post-2646103 Tue, 01 Nov 2016 09:54:18 +0000 looch 2646103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, my son would rather stay home and pass out the candy, so we all stayed home! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-stays-home-and-who-goes-toting#post-2646095 Tue, 01 Nov 2016 09:47:17 +0000 FaithFertility 2646095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both went! She is little so we really just made it down the block and came back to hang outside where we had candy out too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-stays-home-and-who-goes-toting#post-2646084 Tue, 01 Nov 2016 09:23:25 +0000 ValentineMommy 2646084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both went. We left a bowl of candy out for other TOTers. </p> <p>Our town does specific TOT times. 3-5, and then 6-8. We went out 3-5, then handed out candy from 6-7 (when DS2 went to bed). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-stays-home-and-who-goes-toting#post-2646073 Tue, 01 Nov 2016 09:11:46 +0000 psw27 2646073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't get trick or treaters so we both went! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-stays-home-and-who-goes-toting#post-2646071 Tue, 01 Nov 2016 09:09:22 +0000 Adira 2646071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Same here! We both went and just left the candy outside. We only got 11 trick-or-treaters, so it's not a big deal. We pretty much saw all 11 of them while we were out and about with the kids. :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-stays-home-and-who-goes-toting#post-2646068 Tue, 01 Nov 2016 09:06:16 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2646068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH passed out candy and I took the older two around. He could pretty much see is the whole time. I came home to switch but the baby woke up so I took care of her and they passed out candy together and never made it back out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-stays-home-and-who-goes-toting#post-2646065 Tue, 01 Nov 2016 09:05:06 +0000 sapphire 2646065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both went out and left candy in the porch for the 30 mins we were gone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-stays-home-and-who-goes-toting#post-2646064 Tue, 01 Nov 2016 09:04:56 +0000 lilteacherbee 2646064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both went because LO2 is still little (aka wants to be held and not happy in the stroller for too long). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-stays-home-and-who-goes-toting#post-2646062 Tue, 01 Nov 2016 09:03:48 +0000 T-Mom 2646062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH passed candy and I took the kids. Leaving the bowl doesn't work on our street either . I saw many empty bowls and it was sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-stays-home-and-who-goes-toting#post-2646060 Tue, 01 Nov 2016 09:02:06 +0000 Caly 2646060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both went...we only did a few houses on our street so we weren't gone too long. Then we handed out candy when we got back. Neither of us wanted to miss the fun of walking around with them :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-stays-home-and-who-goes-toting#post-2646058 Tue, 01 Nov 2016 09:01:13 +0000 Mamaof2 2646058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: that happened to us too so we wont leave out a bowl anymore :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-stays-home-and-who-goes-toting#post-2646056 Tue, 01 Nov 2016 08:54:11 +0000 mediagirl 2646056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: we did so well with the little kids taking just one candy out of our bowl last night. Then 6 older sh*ts (I had seen them earlier) came by and left 2 pieces. There had to have been 75 pieces of candy in there when they got to the house. I had just refilled it as we walked past our house. :/</p> <p>Never leaving a bowl out again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-stays-home-and-who-goes-toting#post-2646054 Tue, 01 Nov 2016 08:53:50 +0000 sunnyday 2646054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stayed home this year, usually we both go and one of my parents offers to take care of our door. I am 30w preggo and mobility not the best by end of day, I loved getting to stay home and see everyone who came by! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-stays-home-and-who-goes-toting#post-2646052 Tue, 01 Nov 2016 08:52:03 +0000 MrsF 2646052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents and siblings (who don't have kids yet) come to visit on Halloween. They answer the door while DH, the kids and I do a little TOTing and then we all have dinner together. </p> <p>Halloween is also my birthday so it's a good excuse for a get together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-stays-home-and-who-goes-toting#post-2646051 Tue, 01 Nov 2016 08:51:40 +0000 tinyperson 2646051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both go out...we don't get kids at our house because we're in a townhouse surrounded by condo towers with a busy street separating us from the streets with houses. It used to make me sad but now it's nice to be able to go out together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-stays-home-and-who-goes-toting#post-2646048 Tue, 01 Nov 2016 08:50:41 +0000 winniebee 2646048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We all go and just leave a bowl of candy out. Our street is pretty quiet so there isn't any worry of someone taking the whole bowl . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-stays-home-and-who-goes-toting#post-2646047 Tue, 01 Nov 2016 08:50:33 +0000 Bao 2646047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both went, we don't get a lot of TOTers down our road though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-stays-home-and-who-goes-toting#post-2646046 Tue, 01 Nov 2016 08:49:21 +0000 Mamaof2 2646046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH stayed home </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-stays-home-and-who-goes-toting#post-2646040 Tue, 01 Nov 2016 08:46:46 +0000 mediagirl 2646040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This year we both went ToTing with our daughter. I like that - I think it's nice that we can both go. I wouldn't mind staying home to see all the cute ToTers, though. </p> <p>Do you or your spouse stay at home to give out candy while your child goes ToTing? </p>
