Halloween is here!
Candy has been purchased and much to my amazement my hubby didn't open the bags and begin eating it. I am guessing going to school has changed his focus and candy wasn't so high on that list.
I hope I can get out of work early so I can get home and get the dogs settled before the kids start coming to the door. I usually sit on the steps since most of the really little kids have trouble getting up our front steps in full costume or they get scared to come on to our enclosed porch. The dogs scare some of them too and the dogs go nuts every time the doorbell rings so intercepting them at bottom of the stairs keeps the chaos at manageable level.
Costumes have been put together. We usually don't buy pre-made costumes but put stuff together from various places like Amvets and Target. My costume requirements are simple - it must be warm if the weather is chilly so usually I'm not the one in the overly sexy costume!
We'll be stopping by the (e:strip) party at some point. I'm thinking 10:00 - 11:00pm time frame. We have friends meeting us and joining us for the (e:strip) party so coordination plans are underway. @paul Bob and James said they're coming to the party too.
Random updates:
@tinypliny I have not seen or even talked to Patrick who owns East End to ask him about his prices. It is that time of year when we hardly ever see our neighbors since everyone starts heading in doors.
Recently my freak magnet worked in reverse. I was drawn to the crazy instead of it coming to me. :-)
