Happy Halloween!

Lots as usual. I think the high school didn't give out homework tonight, because we had more big kids than ever.

We also went to the annual elementary school Halloween costume parade. (The hours of adult productivity that this school sucks out of the community to build good will to set up its constant fundraising amazes me.) Notably, the principal kept referring to the dress-up event as "wonderful imaginative play," which I assume is code for "not devil worship."

We've had quite a few, and are still getting stragglers. Tori's party was very fun- the kids were all worn out by the time they left. (Just a few minutes ago). There were six girls, three boys and an assortment of hyped out dogs and cats. We had pizza delivered and there was a ton of candy, punch, pop, chips, cookies, cupcakes, etc- the kids are so tanked up on sugar and stuff that their poor parents won't be able to get them to sleep.

We also took them around the block trick-or-treating, and I discovered that our new next-door neighbor is the son of an old friend of mine. I used to cut his hair when he was a little kid, and now he's all growed up and married. Yup, I'm old.

Hehe. When I was still in retail I used to run into my 5th/6th grade teacher, the student teacher from that class as well as the principal from that school all the time. I must have done wonders for them

We only had about 12-15 visits totalling about 80-100 kids. They traveled in large groups.

I was dressed as Jack Skellington, and when they came to the door I filled the hallway with fog, I had lights and the soundtrack song "This is Holloween" going. It was cool, and the kids got a big kick out of it. I did scare a couple of the little ones a bit. But not too bad.
