Just had my first Trick or Treaters, a polite group of tween boys. One football player, one in a tux, and one zombie. All of them tried not to stare at my fangs.
You know, my big sister could really beat the crap out of her. I mean, really really.

That's cool of you, Zen.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That would be so sweet, Zen!
Maybe stay inside, Chicago? Yikes!
I got six ToTers. Ah well.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
That's a great idea, Zen!
I caught up with my friend and had dinner. We came back to watch Only Lovers Left Alive, but the disc wouldn't play. So now the Burton Sleepy Hollow is on. Such a pretty phase for Depp.

Uh, yeah. I think that's wise. On my way home, I was pretty sure I was going to achieve liftoff like a scene out of Mary Poppins.

That'd be really cool, Zen.
Had a lot of older teens in no costume, but I swear, they once again proved to be the sweetest things. 3 of the 5 compliment on my prom dress came from 2 girls and one boy! One looked disappointed when I told her my mom made it. Score for 1993 quasi Goth! And they all asked about what I was (either Queen Fixit or "your future as a homeowner!")
Other compliments were from little girls in sparkly costumes. One looked me up and down, big eyed "Can I touch it?" "So soft!" Her very young dad looked a bit embarrassed, but I assured him it was fine.

We got about 14 trick or treaters...which is 14 more than we have had in the last 6 Halloweens.
K-Bug is driving me to the airport at o'dark thirty, so once 8pm rolled around, we took the sign off our door (we have no control over the porch light) and are calling it good. CJ handled the door, so I didn't see too many costumes - but between posted pictures of friends kids and the couple of times I answered the door - so much cute.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Our first at the new house. I got high on my own supply and am down to seven pieces at 7:15! Make that four pieces!

Oh bon, just make sure they are good pieces!
(I inherited my neighbors' stash from them going out. I'm left with gob stoppers, which I don't like. Left them in a bag hanging off the door.)

I've had the porch light off and the front door closed all evening, and since I've come in from the back yard I've had two groups of kids knock on the door. I don't know how many may have knocked while I was in back. I thought Porch Light Off was the universal symbol of No Candy Here.
