Wow, were the kids wild today. Even at school you could sense the excitement of the pending celebrations. At school we didn’t have any type of party, as we have Jehovah Witness students that don’t celebrate much of anything. We’ll do a fall thing later instead

Both Ken and I decided to go with the kids this year. We were brave, and left our candy in a basket on the front porch. (Actually, quite a few of the houses do that so they’re not bothered by the constant ringing of the doorbell, or if they have other things to do but want to participate.) Taylor dressed up as a skeleton this year. Jocelyn was a witch and Wesley was Batman. We traipsed around the neighborhood, ringing doorbells and collecting lots and lots of candy. We were wiser than last year and brought the wagon, not only to empty the kids’ buckets into, but to put Wesley in it when he was too tired to walk anymore. After about 1 1/2 hours we went back to the house. I stayed with Wesley and Ken took Jocelyn and Taylor out for another round of the other side of the neighborhood.
