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".

Yeah, but since when is science safe? Especially when it's capitalized?

I'm in programming class. I left my porch light off and recycling bins in the middle of the front steps as a sign that there is no candy this year.

Dad is being mean now - he is making them pick up the bit of bottles that are everywhere.

Hee. Good for Dad.

Sounds like my dad. Both the experiments and the cleaning up.
Actually, it sounds like my brother even more! He has nearly torched the neighborhood every time Alabama allows fireworks sales and even a few times not. The kids LOVE him. Their parents... well, I dunno. Same parents let their 9 year old roam with a pellet gun.
