Trick or Treat?

[tonym]

Well, now I get to clean crap off of the car and house. That'll teach me to give the kids anything.

Somebody threw poo at your house and car?

That's weird. I never heard of kids throwing poo on Halloween.

Do you have dog poo in your yard? Maybe a kid tripped and fell into dog poo and went stark raving mad.

Anyhow...ewww.

I live on 20 acres with a driveway a third of a mile long. My street is a 45 mph zone with no sidewalks. No trick-or-treaters. A pity; I had a pot of beef stew that I could ladle into their bags.

Halloween was on Tuesday, as well, meaning the kids had to trick-or-treat early. Next year it falls on Wednesday. I'd bet cash money that some tavern will have a "Hump-Day Halloween Bash"

We had 18 kids, between 5:30 and 8:00. IIRC, it was a little more than last year. (Continually amazes me, as I live in a city - by definition, densely populated. OTOH, in my small hometown of barely 1000 people where my parents still live, they get between 50-100, between 5:00 and 9:30. Weird.)

Some folks have to ruin it for the rest of us.

Next year, I recommend bringing lawn chairs out to the end of the driveway and sit there with a bowl of candy and a cooler full of your beverage of choice......

Those 11 kids were all we got. If I had gotten home earlier we might have had more. All under 12. I expected a few older ones. No scary ones either. I think a few tried to be scary but were to small and cute to be anything else.

Speaking of small and cute....meet mini Aurora dressed up as Tink......I swear she looks more like me everyday. (The wall puts a funny orange cast on the top of her head. Her hair is blonde)

She's adorable!

Our 21-month old was cute in his Spider-man costume, but he didn't care much for it, or for the trick-or-treaters. In retrospect, maybe I should've saved my "with great power comes great responsibility" speech for next year.

We got about 10 _after_ I finished taking my 23 month and 7 year old on their rounds. I expect my wife was quite busy while we were out. And even then we had a late start, having been at my son's school carnival earlier.

But we live in a fairly large apartment complex, there are _lots_ of kids around.

As long as it's NOT beer. That probably wouldn't be a good idea.

Oh, and especially don't offer that to the kids.
