Henny have you ever just left a bowl out w/candy so that you don't have to open up the door a million times? We have done that, and you'd be surprised how honest kids can be… especially if the parents are with them!!!

I've thought of that but I'd have to leave the bowl of candy on the porch and the stomping of kids back/forth will make the boys go nuts . I'm leaning towards leaving the lights out and buying Halloween candy at 50% off the next day for my own consumption...yes, call me the selfish-Halloween-Scrooge-lady.

I don't think you're a scrooge at all, we live in L.A. and you really need to watch what you're doing especially when people are walking around in disguise. We had 8 different parents (!!) actually trick or treating WITH their kids last year, I couldn't believe it. We had children the size of basketball point guards trick or treating. We're not passing out candy and if you're a scrooge then we are right there with you , it's a Friday night too and the Kings will be on TV lol, you can't DVR sports! GO KINGS GO!!!!!

Well you are probably right… I say enjoy your evening then, and the candy the next day!!! Lol

Where in the heck do you live in LA? Yeah I lived in LA for 9 years. Well when I lived there it was chains and knives. As time has passed so has the weapons of choice changed.

Man that sounds like MY kind of Halloween… too bad I have to deal w/the kids!!! Lol

You come here, bring Wally, we will have a good time. My sister in law just gave me a nice bottle of wine from their trip to gatlinburg...we can have some of that. LOL.

Mabel loves to help. Last year we gave out over 300 pieces of candy and it poured down rain! This year they're expecting snow--but that is to be expected. There will be thousands of little Ilsa's running around this part of the country! Here is a shot of Mabel and me last year.
