Halloween

This year's Halloween was great. More than 200 trick or treaters came by to collect at my house and while this is a large number it is actually down from the past years.

The best costume goes to the 13 year old boy dressed as static cling. He was in all black with socks stuck all over him.

The cutest went to the 3 year old girl who told me, "Happy Christmas."

And honorable mention goes to the dad dressed as the Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz who had about a dozen kids with him.

Someone asked what Amanda was for Halloween, per her usual, she was generous. Amanda doesn't like going out at night because she doesn't see well or maintain her balance with any real confidence when in the dark. She has discovered the joy of giving, and she loaded the kids up this year. A lot of them knew her on sight and would yell out, "Amanda's lives here." And then more kids would yell. That makes for a fun night.

I hope everyone else had a fun time too.
