We live in a small town with houses are far apart, so we decided to fill up a cargo trailer with hay and have all our neighbor kids hop on and slowly haul it with our truck from one house to another. They absolutely love it.

In the small town we live in it is a tradition for the children to trick or treat in the town square. The whole family dresses up for the event usually. I'm also a big family of Charlie Brown and The Great Pumpkin and watching my husband and daughter carve a pumpkin for the front porch.

My family love to make pumpkin pinatas and hang them from the tree in our front yard. We let each child take a swing until our front yard is flooded with candy. It truly beats standing by the door and they have to work for it!!! :)

Every year we go to a local pumpkin patch and pick out our pumpkins, drink hot cider and go to the petting zoo!

We are always in a hurry to get ready for Halloween trick-or-treating and trick-or-treaters after school and work. So we started a family tradition of having breakfast-dinner on Halloween night. It usually consists of homemade biscuits with scrambled eggs and turkey sausage inside. Then dessert is late with a sampling of the nights trick-or-treating bounty.

I like trick and treat as the recipient and the person giving out the candy.

We love going to Boo at the Zoo!

Ever since freshman year of college, my girlfriends and I have driven out into the Virginia countryside to a haunted house or haunted hayride. Some are really scary! One year, I was running from the chainsaw man, fell, and all my girlfriends kept running! I'll never let them play that one down. We are now in our late 20s, but those of us still around will get together and brave the haunted house together!

carving pumpkins

I love it all - decorating the yard all spooky-like, giving away the treats, costume parties, bobbing for apples, having black cats all over the house, carving the jack-o-lanterns. Okay, Im a Holiday junkie! Best is watching creepy (Not gorey, creepy like Bela Legosi and Vincent Price) movies with my son as we seek out the world's best onion rings!

My favorite Halloween tradition was making a costume for my son. He really had some great ones, an engine, a truck, a twister and a volcano. He's grown now, but the memories are forever. Thank you!

We LOVE Halloween at our house. Our favorite tradition is heading to Bates Nut Farm out in north east San Diego. I've been going there since I was a little girl and now I get to take my kids there. It's fun to be able to walk out in the fields and pick your own pumpkin right off the vine.

My Halloweens have always involved saving my sorryass friends from disgrace as they stand sheepishly, the night before the big Halloween contest (or even the early afternoon OF Halloween) with either
(a)pieces of duct-taped cardboard falling off them or
(b)incredibly bad paint jobs on their faces, or
(c)some old shirt they wrote on in magic marker that for some odd reason did not resemble what they had initially envisioned as a uniform. Oh yeah, and then there's:
(d) the plastic bag Grim Reaper attempt and
(e) the one who thinks a bozo wig or a kitty-ears headband should be plenty; no need to change the rest of themselves.
Thankfully I enjoy being the official costuming ramp-up artist. A lot!.
