Do you decorate your house for Halloween?

An Trebil: Pumpkins are the best! I really dislike all the junky, gory stuff. It's just gross.

Pasty Cobbett: Cook lots of freezer dinners before hand and stick them in the freezer, get some people who want to help and make a schedule (you will want it), get a whiteboard for keeping a feeding chart (so you remember who is eating when), and be prepared for feeding three (be it bottles or getting a pump). Start a schedule as soon as you can, which will be a couple months. And get clothes that are simple and easy for both the babies and yourself. Get a hair cut that is simple to do and plan some trips for your older daughter to go to people's houses and out with her daddy and grandparents (if possible). And look up triplet and multiples clubs online, some will give you free stuff with the birth certificates (can help with diaper, formula, bottles, paci's).

Frank Crummell: Of course! I love halloween! We decorate, do Halloween crafts and food. It's fun to ! do with the kids. Not too many other people decorate around in my neighborhood though:(

Foster Koopmann: at my house we only carve pumpkins too :P

Majorie Chester: Congratulations!! My friend had triplets when her son was 2 1/2! They are now 9 years old. Wow how time flies. She had 2 sets of grandparents and they hired a nanny. Between everyone they managed to make it through. It takes a lot of work! I hope you have family around - either that or a lot of great friends. :)The babies slept in the same crib for a long time. They had a very strict schedule as it was the only way to make it through. 3 highchairs were lined up against the wall in the kitchens and were used a lot. Once the kids were old enough to be on the move they were "corralled" in one room with baby gates. That way mom wasn't trying to chase them through the house constantly.

Joan Stavropoulos: my son is 2 he watches the same cartoons and blues clues the wiggles and th! e backyardagins he learned alot from them he can count to 6 he! knows way more than 50 words

Fred Caminita: First, ask if it's OK if he comes over to visit you at home. After your parents have met him, they will be better able to judge whether or not to allow you to go places outside of your home with him.

Marion Wieboldt: First sit act really responsible and then say that you know this really nice boy. Tell your parents that they can meet him and tell him to act all mature. It really works

Sena Highman: Well first start preparing your daughter for the new babies. Before I had my second I went to the dollar store and bought coloring books,toys,measuring cups(to play in the sink) and I stuck them in the closet...when things got crazy and everyone needed me at once I would pull out one of the new activities for my oldest to do. Make some sheets on the computer to check off which baby has been fed and changed so you can keep track and you aren't changing one twice and missing the other. Cook some meals ahead of time and ! store them in the freezer or buy some meals that are very simple to prepare. Line up someone like grandma to take the oldest to the park once a week or go somewhere fun...or line up someone to watch your new babies so you can your oldest can go do something together. Once the new babies are here try having you and your spouse get things ready after your two year old goes to bed...if you will be bottle feeding premeasure formula into bottles so you just have to fill them with water, lay out several outfits for overnight and the next day so they are nearby for a quick change. Once they are here you will find your own way to do things. Just try and get as much prepared and laid out now so you don't have to do it later :) And remember to ask for help!

Coleen Carignan: Nooo. But we do eat a lot of candy on halloween!

Dexter Gold: Just put carved pumpkins up on the fence posts and on the porch.

Nelly Kikuchi: Your guidance as a parent determines the couch potato!

Wally Gower: Ahah we used to when me and my bro were younger but! now we are all so busy with school and stuff and everyone in the neighborhood has grown up. Now we all go hang out with friends or to party's than trick or treat. Bt ya my neighborhood is completely boring. I think only one house might put up one little thing to decorate bt thts it. Mostly cuz us kids r older now and go to other places anyway,

Bethanie Menden: I am 13 and in 8th grade, I understand that is really young, but please just hear me out.I have liked this guy for 2 years he is 14 and in 9th grade, and this morning he texted me and told me he liked me and next time we see each other he is gonna ask me out. (He didn't say exactly that, he was acting like it was someone else who liked me and he was telling me what the "other guy" was gonna do.) I have liked him for 2 years and I really want to go with him on a date, but I don't know what to say to my parents.How can I convince them to let me go with him?Don't suggest I not tell them, I was raised better than t! hat, I don't want to lose their trust forever.

Nia Monopoli: Yes, we do decorate. We carve pumpkins, hang webs and some window decorations but we aren't too over the top.

Coleman Coscia: Yes. We recently moved and hope they do in our new neighborhood. We didn't use to, but when my kids became older teens they wanted to get lots of things. We have a fog machine, a strobe light, a life size man caught in a big spider's web, lots of tombstones, orange lights, bone lights that go up the path, etc. We get new cob webs each year.

Todd Stogner: Remember to budget! Sometimes you are dealt this hand.

Stevie Kizziar: I would not let my daughters go on a solitary date at your age for any reason. But you can suggest a group date, or have your parents invite him for dinner and a movie (either at home or an outing, but with your parents present)

Curt Broadhead: have you heard of teen mom? yeah that will be you if you do date that young..smart parents

Olin Hallin: Ohhhhh dear. You do sound to be in a bit of a pickle. ! All I can suggest is that you learn to plan meals, outings, bathtime even with military precision. Oh, and get yourself back on the pill/ injections at your 6 week checkup LOL!

Willie Tun: lol my 9 year old made me, this year! bahhThere's "Enter at your own Risk" yellow tape all over the windows and doors and fake cob webs all around the house.

Nelly Kikuchi: The American Association of Pediatrics recommends NO television whatsoever for children under two years of age and only 2 hours a day for older children. I have a 5 month old and there is no way I am letting her watch TV so young. The only reason your baby is interested in the TV is because of the movement and the bright colors/light. I wouldn't recommend letting your child watch TV at all, focus on her development by reading to her, playing games with her and giving her toys that are age appropriate. I know it's more work than letting the TV entertain her but you are building a person, give her the best st! art you can.

Thurman Buege: No. We don't live in a neighborhood and nobody trick or treats out here. We don't do the inside either because we never have people over. Maybe we will get more into it when the kids get older.

Jorge Detlefs: i personally do not think it is ok, but it sounds like you have already started her. children need to learn how to entertain themselves, if they start tv that young they never have a chance to explore the world around them. i do think children started on tv very young are less active and primarily continue to watch tv. it is proven that tv produces very little brain stimulation and that is the last thing you want to do to 4 month old child. thier little brains need all the stimulation they can get, it is thier most developmental stage, age birth to 3.

Avis Brantner: she will only be a couch potatoe if you allow itremember as she grows up you need to cut back on the TV.. since TV shows jump too much they actually contrib! ute to Attention Deficite.. they know kids have short attention spans s! o play into that.. which ironically helps keep kids having short attention spans - thus creating Attention Deficite..

Gwenda Micheals: my daughter loves baby Einstiens and Mickey Mouse Club, and a few other cartoons. do you think its ok that she watches these or do you think shell grow up to be a lazy couch potatoe?

Margart Stimpert: Ok You seem like a reeeaally responsible girl, and your parents should trust that you know how to choose good people and dating at that age if you feel you are ready is completely and entirely normal! Youre not going to get pregnant for being out going, your responsible enough to not do that... Youre not too young at all! ;]

Sylvie Snetting: no everyone around here knows we have 6 kids and that is scary enough.

Joesph Smithmyer: I LOVE Halloween and actually I had started to but just a little bit. We homeschool & the kids have already enjoyed making cut out life size skeletons which they hang around the house then on the! front door Halloween night. We also have started displaying their Halloween crafts as deocrations too. As for outside, not yet. I would love to do it, just need to remind myself to buy stuff after Halloween when it is cheaper. A year or so ago I saw some really need Halloween Towns you could buy. Like the Christmas towns with the cute light up houses but Halloween themed. I collect the Christmas towns & I would love to start a collection on the Halloween ones too. But yet again money is an issue....Show more

Ardell Luy: i don't think 13 is too young. you are a teenager now and are having experiences most other teens are having. just wait until he asks you so you can give your parents the details (where, when etc.) and then tell them that you would like to go on a date with a really nice boy you've known for a while who is responsible. if they say to a solitary date then suggest that you and he both invite some other friends who your parents (if possible) know and are! familiar with so that they know you are not going to become involved i! n anything silly (sex or the like).

Krystal Cordovano: We carve pumpkins and throw a few strands of orange twinkle lights in our front bushes.There's a lady on our street who collects witches. Come Halloween week, her house is all done up, both inside and outside. She's got this funny decoration that she puts on the front of her garage -- it looks like a witch flew straight into her wall and is just stuck there. Pretty cute.Kinda like this http://www.1halloween.net/html/garcrash.html except, you know... flat and into a wall. Whatever, it's adorable. Take my word for it....Show more

Abraham Ladick: Omg!!!! yes i do i LOVE Halloween, i love decorating and carving pumpkins its awesome this year is the first year i am doing my own thing, with my daughter and her dad, but when i was living with my parents we always decorated its like a tradition, we decorate on holidays like Easter, Christmas, and 4th of July.

Russell Mckinzie: My daughter is now 2 years old an! d I wanted to have another. Instead I got triplets. Any tips on organizing. There going to be born in April.

Irvin Guiles: No one cares about Halloween here :/ :( they just carry on like it's a normal day.

Foster Padgette: Its perfectly fine. My son adored Noggin - preschool for kids its wonderful. Now he is three, he is very active (Sometimes I wish I could bottle his energy for myself) he still watches tv but he is by no means a couch potato.

Alisia Sutphen: I suggest to limiting her television time to no more than half hour a day. She needs to be more active at 4 months than plopped in front of a television.

David Kuper: No we don't really decorate at all. Mostly because we don't want to spend the money on it.We do carve pumpkins though. That's always fun :)

Mayola Sylva: Just tell them that he's just a friend and you guys wanna chill. Lol.

Norris Rosener: I would suggest that there are better and more stimulating experiences that! you could provide for your child. These should include touch, seeing ! your face, smiling, cuddling, loving and togetherness.I often read a book to my daughter at 4 months of age and encouraged interaction. At 5 years of age she read "The Hobbit" to me. She is now a very bright, athetic 15 year old that watches very little TV, by her own choice.Other TV Programs at a later age that promote coordination and interaction I would suggest would provide better value. You could maybe join in. Be fun for both of you.

Marvel Mcaulay: Tell them that you have liked him for a long time now and that they dont have to worry about you that you are very smart and if they dont want you to go thats fine but please let you.

Isreal Kochheiser: No, not really. We make our own Jack O'lanterns that we set outside, but that's about it.

Frederick Mccoach: i would tell my parents that he is really nice and has good manners and you really like him and he really likes you and that youve been waiting a long time and OH dont forget to mention hes rees! ponsible that always helps

Robin Tommie: We live in an apartment, everyone on our block does, but we still decorate. We have a really nice landlord who lets us use the little yard in the back as we please, only rules are everyone has to agree and everyone has to be allowed to use anything back there, theres no "thats my swingset", so our building always gets together to decorate it into a little haunted cemetery for Halloween. Everyone contributes and makes something, so it turns out really cool. We have graves and a scarecrow, skeletons, ghosts, and bats hang from the tree, which is lit up, one of our neighbors has an irish wolfhound and they bring them out to act as the "guarder of the dead." We dont have those blow up things, which is fine by me, personally I think they look kind of cheesy and sort of ruin the atmosphere. All of the trick or treaters come around back to see it every year and its always a lot of fun. We decorate our door a little and the kids make d! ecorations for inside. Our kids love spooky stuff so they love Hallowee! n, and Halloween is also my husbands birthday, so its always a fun day....Show more

Rachal Osaki: Everyone is so sweet though. People are coming over with identical outfits for all 3 of them. I decided that I would be dressing them alike until I know that they aren't going to run away from me at the park or something. My friend who makes shirt even got me a "sister #1, sister #2, sister #3, and sister #4" for each of the girls (they are all girls if I didn't say).

Clifford Gombos: Not Halloween, but we decorate for fall. We live on a farm and at the end of the driveway we have some a bale of straw, a scarecrow, some pumpkins, and a pot of mums.

Adelle Weight: Anything educational is good. My daughter watches Baby Einstein, Fimbles, Bear in the Big Blue House, and her favorite is Muppets (well, Muppets isn't that educational, but the music really gets her going). As long as your daughter is exposed to the outer world, you shouldn't have a problem...there! is so much to explore!

Carmina Stickney: She'll only be a lazy couch potato if, when she's old enough to make choices, you let her be a lazy couch potato. She's only four months old. Relax.
