It was madness! For some reason I just wasn't expecting that many people. It was warm for Halloween here. I think it was somewhere between 45 and 50 when we were out. The local fire department was there with a fire truck, there was a police car that you could sit in, a bus you could walk through, and throngs of people. It was a lot more fun than I expected. Brandon just kept running from place to place. We had to divide and conquer - one kid per adult. Brandon wore his puppy costume that he wore to school on Monday, and Caitlin dressed up as a kitten. I got her some kitty ears, but they kept falling off. Brian put them on her backwards on accident, and discovered that they'll stay on that way! I discovered that waterproof eyeliner stays on your face all day, even through the numerous nose-blowings that Caitlin went through. Even make-up remover didn't phase the eyeliner. The kids cheeks were pink from scrubbing before bedtime. Luckily, even with going from store to store, the kids didn't get much candy. I think it's a doable amount for the next few weeks.
We didn't want to take the kids out trick-or-treating in the neighborhood. It was just dark and cold. Plus, Caitlin has a bad habit of trying to run away, which gets old after a while. We turned on our lights after we got home, and had many trick-or-treaters come to the door. Caitlin was so enthralled by it all. She kept wanting to follow the kids on to the next house. She even ran out of the house and followed one family up the street. Their kids were about the same age as ours, so maybe she felt a kinship with the littlest pumpkin! We handed out handfuls of candy, but still have candy left. Maybe I'll have Brian take it to work next week. Otherwise I might just eat it all. No one needs that.
