Happy Halloween

I'll have candy but don't expect to see many kids like normal.
They usually take the kids "trunk or treating" or will go to the fancy neighborhoods where they hand out full size candy bars.... Greedy ass kids.
Plus its going to be cold as hell today.
Get home around 4:00 from work, trick or treating ends at 7:00.... I'll usually scan the block and if theres no kids on the street at 7 just turn off the front light and stop answering the door.
I remember the streets being FILLED when I was a kid, now I'm lucky if I see 10 kids.
I hate the parents who bring the kid in a stroller and trick or treat for them.. Listen lady, I know the candy is for you, not the kid.
Oh for sure, we would be pounding on doors all damn night back in the day.
Technically the hours are 3:00 till 7:00 but even then, making it earlier doesnt help when people aren't home until 6:00 or later from work.

we took the kids last year to my parents house, (our old neighborhood) it was great, lots of kids, almost every house had stuff up, reminded me of how it was growing up. My wife was amazed becasue it was never like that around where she grew up, my neighbor hood now.
My parents still live in your old neighborhood and get a good amount of kids too I believe....
The ones I hate the most for me are the high school kids just hitting houses on the way home....
Realistically though I'm just not big on Halloween anyway so that could have something to do with it.
Our neighborhood is packed and has people coming from other areas... it is from 4 - 7 tonight and I will be out with our kids +1 from their school. We've plotted out our course over the last few days for "efficiency" and to maximize their haul. I then bring big canvas bags for them to dump their buckets into as they get full/heavy so they can keep going.
Cold doesn't bother us.

My side of the road is all multi acre lots spread out and the other side of the road is newish nieghborhoods... Been here 9 years and never had a single kid knock for candy. First 2 years I candy on hand but ever since I figured out they don't come over on our side of the road never bother anymore. GOOD I like not having to deal with it... but if I did though I would just leave a big bowl for them to help themselves and either play pranks on them/ try to scare them anyways like I had done to me when I was young...
I grew up in Wheeling/Arlington Heights area until age 13. We had some really good takes back in the day...
Are you really surprised there's a ton of trick or treaters in your neighborhood?
I hear most of the kids from Streamwood go to Barrington or Bartlett to get their fill for the same reason.
With the full size candy bars!
Just like in Stranger Things S2!
But yeah, I remember starting around 4 and basically walking as far as my legs would carry me. We'd case block by block.
