I also live in an area that's not conducive to Trick or Treating house to house. I've found the mall to be a safe and very festive alternative. And as for Miss N, well, you know 9-year old girls. That pissy little attitude will melt away after a few stores. Plus, she's not just getting candy, she'll probably end up with a few cute new items in the process. What could be better than trick or treating AND shopping in one fell swoop? And if she still wants to be scared, gather a few of her friends and pop in a scary (age-appropriate) movie after hitting the mall. Hit the mall, definitely.

The 4 yr old didn't even want to put a costume on, let alone go trick or treating. We wound up driving and parking at each block, and letting the other kids go together while the youngest got to stay with us in the car and pick out a prize. We set up a few different bags, so he had to choose one of them and we'd thrown in some junk prizes like bubba teeth and skunky scratch-n-sniff stickers. It's just an idea. The older kids might have a ton of fun going out together, but I know every area isn't safe for kids on their own. Good luck. Last year, we had a 10 yr old, two 8 yr olds, a 6 yr old and a 4 yr old.
