I wish I could have videoed some of the responses to my decorations. I sat on my front steps and handed out the candy. I started telling the adults that it was either PMS Doe or Mother-in-law Doe, and they could choose. If the kids asked, I told them the one on the ground slipped and fell and the other was giving it kisses to make it feel better :D:

I went through 60 full size bags/bars of candy (costco, $4 off coupon, combo package of M&M (plain & peanut), Snickers, Starburst, Skittles and 3 musketeers), a 30 pack of small bags of goldfish for the little kids and one of the bags of candy we got at Mickey's Trick or Treat party.

We give out the full size candy bars so the teenagers don't throw stuff back onto our porch. We learned not to be cheap ;) I'm just amazed that anyone would throw back FREE stuff...

I did see a fun display last night...House across from my son's friend's party
Had STATUES of the HM hitchiking ghosts, tombstones also with ghosts and FOG while playing the soundtrack from the HM attraction.....Felt like I was at DLR! :)

Hey you!! Don't refer to my Mom like that!!!! :mad: When one owns the entire street & mountain behind, they can give out anything they want Mr. darph. Who do you think paid for maps & mailings? The company! Better tell MIBS you are sorry buddy. :p: Anyway, I'd take a fresh warm tortilla anytime. Miss. Matterhorn said she likes our calendars & uses them in her class. I'm now waiting for something humble from you. & NO! Not pie from The Baker. :rolleyes:

For the record, I also love Tortillas :)
I've gotten a POTC calendar past few years, wonder if they'll have one out again....
Oh, I found POTC Gummies to give out last night! YUM!

HAHA, I found some POTC and Disney Princess chocolate bars at Walgreens the other night. Apparently they weren't best sellers as there were a ton of 'em left.

Just 'cause it has a Disney character on it doesn't mean you can scrimp on taste!

Thanks everyone for the compliments on my decor!!
