Just had two witches and a zombie girl who, when I answered the door, said
"Oh. You looked like this last year."
I smiled and said
"I look like this every day."
Watching the
the neighbor lady is REALLY A VAMPIRE OMG
thoughts go across their faces was great. I love Halloween!
and I was picturing some sort of mark on your fence like hobo marks, only to warn Mormons away from nonmembers.
No stick drawing of a kitty for you!
and then after he got the candy "Have a nice day!!!" I could hear him saying it all up the street.
Baby Lauren (who is now 2) was saying, "Bless you!" to every person who sneezed or coughed in a restaurant today. Lots of "thank you" as well, but it was the random blessings to strangers that I found most charming.
My favorite was a threeish-year-old at the church thing the other night. I didn't recognize the costume, so I asked him who he was. He looked at me and said very clearly, "Sean." Well, all right then.
Sometimes kids say the absolute best things.
He was actually Optimus Prime, Cass. Geek parents! I was ashamed I didn't know who he was. Or who he was dressed up as, I should say.
I smiled and said "I look like this every day."
When I told Sara that you dress that way every day, she was amazed and impressed. I could see the wheels spinning in her head, too, I have to say.
Crap. I took a double dose of the fake!sudafed instead of a single of the real. No wonder it isn't working. Feh.
A man and woman came to my door with a baby in a stroller who was no more than a year old. The baby was dressed as Superman. I tried to hand the baby a piece of candy, and the father said no, that I should let the baby take it from the bowl. I tried holding the bowl out to the baby, but he seemed to have no interest in it, so I just gave him the candy, and the father looked very disappointed.
I smiled and said "I look like this every day."
fucking awesome.
We have had two people. I blame us being elsewhere, trick or treating, earlier.
As we are ALWAYS starting later, I encourage kids to FOR GOD'S SAKE, TAKE AS MUCH AS YOU WANT!
We don't get T or T'ers here. I called a friend who lives in the complex and let him know that his daughter was welcome to knock on our door. I have a treat for her. But even that didn't bring us a T or T'er.
CJ is out with some friends (all girls, I believe). They had planned on "reverse T or T'ing". Knocking on doors and handing out candy. I didn't see him before he left the house, but I'm willing to bet he dressed as a ninja.
