We hid and poked at the dog to make him bark more.

Stoopid parents kept sending their little kids up our path, ringing our doorbell. We had NO decorations, NO porch lights, NO light in our living room (until we put the TV on which was around 8pm) - err take the hint guys, if we wanted to to do Halloween, there would be a pumpkin or two!

So the poor dog still ended up going mad, should be nice an quiet next year when we're out in the country (You watch we'll get even more).

I doubt it somehow. However our kids made out like bandits as everone spoils them and the few other trick or treaters rotten. The rule is though if there are no lights on, then leave them alone. The vast majority of places though were lit up and enjoyed seing the kids having fun.



Bad picture of kids pumpkins, they did their own carving this year

Last year we had a couple of dozen, whereas this year we had none even though it was a nice evening and the kids who came around did quite well last year (and it wasn't the wolf, he was inside behaving himself). Not that I care overly, but I've got two boxes of treats to get rid of. Decent ones too - none of that hershies cats piss chocolate.
