Yeah, it hasn't started yet. Based on last year, I'm expecting 35-50 kids.

My mom lives in a neighbourhood in Airdrie that is all grown up, so about 9:00, I am expecting a call complaining about how she only had 5 or 6 kids show up.

Just starting now, about 10 kids so far. 6 of them were under 4 years old and are being pulled in wagons! Kids don't even have to walk anymore!!

Lol. My mom lives in a neighbourhood full of kids. I expect her call around 9pm complaining that the kids are still ringing the doorbell.

I had a kid come up, where his mom said 'trick or treat' for him and was holding the treat bag for him.

Kids today!

And we wonder why obesity is a problem in North America Seriously the least these kids could do to stuff their face full of sugar and fat would be to walk it off beforehand.

0 in Braeside so far. The numbers have been decreasing for years around here.

This does not look good. Or does it? THE CANDY IS MINE!

The kids ring the doorbell at my house but they never leave...like the Simpsons episode where Lunchlady Doris is making food out of them.

I scared a kid so bad that he started crying. Funny thing is, his dad started laughing at him. Good times!

none here in prestwick yet, which is good because the puppy likes to sneak out when someone comes to the door and the other one barks crazy loud at the doorbell.

Had about 20 so far.

I'm heading out in 30 minutes for a night shift. The kids who come right before then are in for a storm of chocolate.

Had about 10 in the last few minutes mostly really young and it's probably their first Halloween.

All of them have just cruised right into the house when I open the door for some reason. It's pretty funny.

Had about 20 as well. It's been 15 minutes since the last kid.

Such a shame because it's a beautiful night.

Kids today!

We've now had about 10 within the last 40 minutes. Funny because beforehand, my dad was outside smoking and two kids walked by with their dad, who was telling them our house was closed.

I'm also handing out full size bars here in Hillhurst. Tally to now is 2.

WTF am I going to do with 28 full size bars? Freaking malls ruining traditions, why don't you just replace Santa with FedEx...
