I hope to not get trick or treaters. I have no candy. They can have ice cubes and fine tequila. I just need to get home and get unconscious as quickly as possible.
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yikes, beth! Maybe keep your clothes on.
The bowl was TAKEN, GONE. People are just tacky.
So tacky!
I'm pretty sure no one would come to my door, since I have no decorations on it. I'm guessing that's the code. I did hear a little girl ToTing on the other side of the building (there are two staircases that go up from the lobby).

Given the noises outside still, we could easily have given away twice the candy we did, but I have my limits.
Casper is back and eating Pixy Sticks. She ran into her Pre-K teacher taking a little boy in her class trick or treating, because he didn't have anyone to take him. I'm thinking we got one of the good teachers.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
yeah, I think door decorations is a good path to follow, we just buzzed everyone we know. I have to work out a better plan for next year.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Halloween!(G is handing out candy tonight)
Happy Birthday Daniel!

I'm taking Noah to my friend Susan's for trick-or-treating, or just hanging out. He hates his sweetpea costume, so he's going into his cute Mamma's Lil Pumpkin onesie instead.

I have a ton of candy leftover. My neighbor told me to expect 50-100, and said we'd easily get 100 on a good night, so I got extra. Maybe we had 40 kids come.
msbelle, does mac want some craxy Canadian mini chocolate bars?

Sadly Playboy guy did not answer when I called back. But I had no idea the Playboy corporate headquarters were on the Magnificent Mile.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Aww.
We're just getting started. I swept the deck, moved all the potentially dangerous in the dark things like rakes & pokers and such clear of the path. But I didn't decorate. This is a very kiddo-oriented neighborhood, so I doubt that will stop anyone. Only, one of the neighbors has moved out, so their house will be empty, if the trick or treaters start there.
Anyway, I have seven bags of candy, two of them large, and am ready for the rampaging hordes. The dog is fed, but will be hanging out in the office here with me while the SO does kiddo duty. Last year we ran out and had to make a desperate pilgrimage to the Walmart in the middle of things. This year they're getting what we got, because it was madness going out in it, madness I tell you.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
my neighbors - twin 7th grade boys are exploding plastic bottles with dry ice. Dad is a junior high science teacher. It is pretty funny esp since one of the boys is in a tyvec suit with sunglasses and gloves. So far we know it has been heard two streets away.But I am with mom - this isn't exactly safe - but there are 4 or 5 boys saying ' but , it is SCIENCE".
