I cheated again, I have a huge terracotta one. We managed to stay out in the garden until 10ish when rain stopped play. There were loads of foxes and owls about but no trick or treaters.

They certainly couldn't go round in the dark on their own - we have no street lighting here. Luckily I had some treat-sized chockie bars.

Haha

, we had some lollies to give out but as we went out ourselves we only got about 10 callers, so theres lots of them left over for the kids, they got lots!.
People here went all out this year with grotto's for the kids to walk round and tons and tons of goodies to give out.
