Halloween. Tomorrow the aisles of Walmart, Target and the mall will be decked out in Christmas fare, if they aren't already! And, yes, I put the celebration of Christ's birth far and above today, but we are gonna have fun tonight too!
We are not at Fall Festival for the first time in many years. Even when our kids got too big to dress up, we went to work a booth(room). And I must say, for the last 2 years, we had the coolest room. Medic with blood and everything, and last year guts.
But this year we live in Leabrooke in Rogersville, and from what we hear, it is the happening place to trick or treat. So I am gonna keep a tally going of how many we have tonight at different times.
6:30--we have had 14 trick or treaters. Spiderman seems to be the most popular for boys so far, with a marionette raggedy ann the best girl's so far. This is the most trick or treaters we have ever had, so we are already excited!
7:00--we are up to 31. Lots of scream costumes...yikes!
7:30--94!!!! Lot's of older kids this time round...but polite. That's nice. Funniest costume this time is the fully clothed girl with sign around her neck that says "NUDIST ON STRIKE". Now thats funny.
8:00--and we are up to 143. A whole passel of girls came by asking for Barrett, not a one in costume!
8:45--168 and i don't think we are gonna make it to 300, unless we do this again tomorrow night. But this is great fun, and i am still hoping we get more.
Well, it is 9:15, and we haven't had anymore trick or treaters. We sorely overestimated.
If you find yourself in need of a peanut m&m fix, come on over. We have many.
But this has been definitely one the funnest nights we've had. Mark took pictures of all of the kids, so he'll post those soon on his web album, i'm sure.
Happy Halloween! Let's do it again next year!

Trick or treat! Save me some M and M's. You would have liked my costume. I changed the part in my hair.

We didn't see you tonight and almost came out to your house to trick or treat b/c we thought you might have been handing out candy. And peanut butter m&ms are our favorite. How fun!! I miss trick or treating. I am glad you had a good time.
