Halloween

We live on a street that gets some of the highest volume of Halloween traffic in the city.  People drive their kids to our street.  We had a steady stream of munchkins and non-munchkins from 5 p.m. until 8:35 p.m.

Mrs. Ref was working on football awards (I'm in charge of handing out the awards for the funny/odd stuff that happened this year), so I was handing out candy, mostly from my knees because most of the goblins were short.

The best costume of the night was the tall young man (probably a high school junior) dressed up as a French maid.  The little skip-to-m'lou bit he did was equally entertaining.

Second best costume of the night:  Any kid shorter than 3'-6" -- they are just TOO CUTE.

Best Trick or Treater:  The little three-year old princess with curly hair who, when I opened the door, bounded in, gave me a huge hug, gave Mrs. Ref a huge hug, told us how much fun she was having, that she liked our house and, oh, is that the candy I can have? and started helping herself.  All while we were dying of laughter and her parents were trying to reign her in.  Not shy, that one.

Best Trick:  When I knocked back at the kids from the inside, opened the door and said, "Trick or Treat!"  It terribly confused them.

I hope you all had a fun and safe night.
