MCPS has off the next day so my DD is throwing a small party and they are going Rick or treating, then bonfire, and scary movies. Possibly a sleepover

She and her friends are going to the popular neighborhood for trick or treating.

That’s a big no for me

Handing out candy

For real? I'd skip the game.

My 10th grader is going to a party. Everyone will wear costumes

My 10th grader, doesn't know yet. Since we have school the next day no one is having a party, but she might go trick or tricking with a friend. She is not sure yet.

I'd encourage this! My 10th grader is taking his little sister and her friend trick or treating. He'll wear a low-key costume and most of the neighbors will also give him candy. Plus, his sister will share some since he's 'doing her a favor' by taking her (instead of her having to go with her uncool parents).

It's kind of a win-win.

^ dressing up

My 10th grader absolutely loves drawing up so she’s making a costume but I’m not sure she has anywhere to wear it, lol.

Mine will probably hang out outside with us if it’s nice and handout (eat) candy for a while. If it’s cold he will take handfuls and eat it while he does whatever on his computer. He stopped doing anything for Halloween years ago.

My slightly younger daughter is going to a party the weekend before and doesn’t have set plans for actual Halloween yet. It’s mid week so they are planning the party for the weekend.

My son is invited to a party but he’s planning to skip it and hang out at home/hand out candy.

My kids stopped trick or treating after 8th grade but enjoyed handing out candy to neighborhood kids at home in high school.
