We always have soup or stew to warm up before ToTing. I'm making pasta fagioli and garlic bread tomorrow night (and hoping that it won't be totally freezing outside).

Probably pizza like 99% of the other families in our neighborhood (given the time estimate of how long it will take for our pizza to ready for pick-up, lol). We should have learned from last year's 90-minute wait.
We are going to my parent's house for ToTing, they live in a neighborhood and we live in the boonies. I'm bringing frozen pizza to toss in the oven after ToTing. No cooking, no delivery cars flying around little kids, DS is sure to eat it. Done and DONE.
Probably do something for E before TOT and then do something else for us after she's in bed. I need to check with DH on what he's thinking.
Same. We'll probably make pizza when we get home - we have that most Friday nights anyway.
My MIL often has spaghetti if we are over around dinner, but her spaghetti involves cooked noodles simmering away in tomato juice in an electric skillet. I usually try to have other plans.

Candy is the only right answer to this.
Kidding! We'll probably do something in the crockpot just to make it easier on me. Maybe chicken tacos or tomato soup. No traditions yet, maybe we'll start some when A is a little older.
We're going to a pizza party in the lounge of our building. The dads were all bummed that they're missing all the costume parties earlier in the day so one of my mom friends decided to host a party so that the dad could see all the kids together too.

Chili and hot dogs. Always.
This was our tradition growing up, and our first year together, I just started cooking at H's house, and he was all, "Did you talk to my mom or something?" Apparantly, this was also their tradition growing up.
Halloween is my anniversary so usually I make a nice meal after the TOTing has died down. This year, I will probably pick up a small pizza on the way home from work for DD (and I'll probably have a piece to hold over the empty-stomach nausea). We will go to a few neighbors' houses and then my parents are heading over to watch DD so DH and I can go out to dinner.
Plan is to do chili and Fritos (I mean, PNW Fritos, i.e. the organic version from TJ's ) with neighbors before heading out for trick-or-treating. Our block is chock full of kids five and under. It's awesome.
I grew up having pizza on Halloween night before trick or treating, and we still do it today. We don't get any trick or treaters at our house so we go to my parents and have a little fire in their driveway and eat pizza and hot dogs.
