I got those too -they were on on sale in Rite Aid.

I spent Halloween trick or treating with my grandchildren. They live in town, so there's lots of trick or treating. Almost every house was giving out candy, or at least, had a bowl on their porch. All the kids in the area went together with the parents, so we were quite a crowd. We ended up at the firehouse. They had a hayride on the fire engine, sirens. lights and all. Then, a costume parade and a costume by grade. Mackenzie and Brandon won for their grades. Then, Mackenzie gave her prize ($1.00) to Kassidy because she felt bad for her because she didn't win.

You have no idea how thrilled I was. Here I am, a native New Yorker, in the middle of this wonderful small town America Halloween. I just love the values up here. In NYC, Halloween is mostly a mean spirited holiday. The older kids run the streets egging, shaving creaming, and fighting. There is a great deal of vandalism. The dark side of some people's values really come out.

I love that my grandchildren are growing up here.

I went out to a party with a guy I work with. I was a can-can girl I'll post a pic later. My friend Dan also showed up because he wasn't doing anything so I made him meet me there lol. My roommate stayed home to hand out candy until 9, and then she was going to a movie. We had two boxes of candy... and we got 5 trick-or-treaters So more candy for us now!!!

That's what we started thinking Haley, right before I got married. When I was young, we only went to people's homes we knew. The only ones who came to our house were people we knew and we would always have fun guessing who each one was. Then we would see the parent around the corner of the house and then we knew....LOL...so much fun.

Right before we got married there were kids we had no idea who they were or where they came from. After I got married, Mom started have over 100 kids and some were so big it was scaring her. She no longer stays home on Halloween.

I hope Micah had a great time.
