I remember when I was young, it was only ever a handful of kids roaming the neighbourhood, and they were usually from the families who didn't give a shit what their kids were up to. There was no way in hell I'd have been allowed to participate. <br /><br />It kind of makes me giggle that as parents we spend so much effort teaching stranger danger and all that, but then come Halloween the kids are encouraged to accept all and sundry from strangers. I'm not entirely comfortable with it yet. xMadeleinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04193070164584925505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5961604105772410147.post-62487749514999573382012-11-04T08:29:20.797-08:002012-11-04T08:29:20.797-08:00In Australia, I was never prepared for trick or tr...In Australia, I was never prepared for trick or treaters. I think - once - I bought a bag of jelly beans. Or maybe J did... but that's the most we'd ever been prepared.<br /><br />Enjoy your treats! ;)Madeleinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04193070164584925505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5961604105772410147.post-33606748941972297272012-11-04T07:22:16.784-08:002012-11-04T07:22:16.784-08:00The costumes look great!

Love the pics though and I'm glad the girls got to celebrate in style. <br /><br />I had laid in treats too and had a sign on the door but we didn't get anyone! And this is the first year I've been prepared.<br /><br />Luckily I didn't fork out on that witchy hat after all. melbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14032793912135092967noreply@blogger.com
