It would seem like after the third or fourth house, maybe more if you have a high tolerance, that maybe a parent's judgement wouldn't be where it should be and the kids will have to take care of mom and dad.Brittany Vantreasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07031889863481625710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177319937053720737.post-20693047918856253692018-11-02T09:00:59.334-05:002018-11-02T09:00:59.334-05:00We had fun.

No rum for the parents, and a light on the porch means you're giving out candy. In my area, when Halloween is on a Sunday, the neighborhoods usually hand out treats on Saturday.

I guess every area does things differently.Heidi@OneCreativeMommy.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05928910036233038919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177319937053720737.post-24589299085121842892018-11-02T04:24:12.266-05:002018-11-02T04:24:12.266-05:00Guess I'll be the odd man out and not like tha...Guess I'll be the odd man out and not like that tradition.

Almost all the house were dark, it wasn't as fun as I remembered. We live in a very small town now and everyone is out! They have fire-pits on their driveways and some people even have apple cider and food! Oh and yes, some of the apple cider is ADULT ONLY! We love it!Echo aka The Mad Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03696495190321897480noreply@blogger.com
