Lots of little bees this year, unsurprisingly. Was worried I was gonna be stuck with a ton of candy, but starting at about 6:45, it was on. Probably had about 70 kids so far.
I don't really have a security blanket... unless you count Mr. Pointy.

not your mom's socks.
I'm upstairs in my Emily Dickinson costume* with a basket to lower down should anyone brave the bowl of candy at the steps. But no. Alas.

This stinks. DH should send me cute photos of my kid. Someone tell him to do that. Grump.

She got into it once she knew about it.
If anyone is wondering, I have gotten hardly any actual work done today. And I'm gonna stop even trying to work pretty soon so I can pack up my decorations before I go home.

Our wings are not tired.
Aww, hippocampus, may you soon be showered with candy and pics of cuteness.
We had somewhere around a billion kids. At this hour we are now getting the kids from miles away with parents crawling in cars collecting large barrels or trunks full of candy. At 8 PM I am turning out the lights. I don't mind the teens and all that, but the little kids that are driven miles by greedy parents, not so much. They still get candy, but I get to grumble to my internet friends.

We ran out of candy and shut the lights a fee minutes ago.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I am hiding in the back room with all the lights out in the front of the house. BAH GHOSTBUGS! or something.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
We got six t-o-ters and gave it up. We maybe could have had a few more, but the doorbells don't really work, so it was kind of a pain. One kid came as Donald Trump, "the scariest thing I could think of."
