The weekend before, we went to 2 parties. Canyon and I went to the Bost party ourselves.
The next morning we went to the Downtown Fall Fest. It was very cold and windy. We were working Dr. Paul's Counselling booth for 5-6 hours. Sahara was with us and we left there to go home and get ready for the Star party/dance.
We carved our painted pumpkins.
The next day was Halloween. Our plan was to sit on the porch and hand out candy. Lots of 'new' for us. New house, new neighborhood (with a great front porch for handing out candy), Sahara's not here, Canyon is 21. I thought it was a good time to switch Canyon from being a treater to being a passer-outer.
Turns out it was too cold to just sit on the porch. It was our coldest Halloween in documented history actually. Starting off the month with our 2nd hottest Oct 1st. So, we sat inside and watched out the big window for treaters to come up. Actually, at 4:10 I had the first treaters arrive. I then put a sign on the door that candy would not be ready until 5:30. That was crazy early! It was 5:45 before we got the next group.
By 7:15 we had 85 visitors. Not bad for a cold school night. I had over bought candy though and still have enough for another Halloween.
Then I caved. We turned out the light and hit the 7 houses left on the block that still had their lights on.
Never too old!!
