Halloween plans. Not handing out candy but what else is new I haven't handed out candy at least since we moved back out to the family property in January 2009 including to the few relatives that would come to my parents house. Hopefully I can pick up another junior frosties coupon book from Wendys for nephew and a bag of haribo gummy bears for niece (they are 15 and 17) since due to her chrones she can't have the frosties. Other than that I have coupon books for the little neighbor girl next door. She is 7. And for my girls. Not bothering with costumes this year or going out either. Not sure if my mom and sister are making up packages for the kids or not. They might just make them up for my girls along with niece and nephew plus a slightly smaller package for the neighbor girl. Normally we would go and do some trick or treating mainly to relatives and family friends though depending on the weather-not a bunch of snow, pouring rain, or 50-60 MPH winds hit a complex a few miles N of us where some relatives live. (nice thing is we can park in their driveway for part of it even though my granddad's cousin in her 90s goes to bed before 7 pm-she is up at 4 am though and does not take a nap during the day. This gives us a base to do quite a bit and then we go and park on the street for the other half of the complex. We also usually hit a smaller churches party where they get to play some games and win a few prizes. Normally we go to the inlaws house and also hit up the neighbors on either side plus a couple houses down on the same side of the street on their block-a whole 6 houses if we stop by everyone. Again weather is a factor every year. This year they are calling for it to be 42 dropping down to 38 but no rain and no wind so a bit on the nicer side especially here in my part of MT.
We might do pumpkins either painting or carving if the girls want to do them They each have one. By carving or painting I mean 15 year old does hers and 13 year old picks out a pattern and either 15 year old or DH does it for her.
I had thought about seeing if my parents, sister, and brother's family wanted to join us for a wagon ride at the zoo which would run us quite a bit at $15 a person. Until I learned that unless you have a group of 15 you are sharing a wagon with others. We might have been able to have my aunt come but we still would have been short the number of people needed so I dropped the idea and didn't even bring it up to my mom.
