Surviving the Day After

I survived another Halloween!  Last night was noticeably lighter compared to past years but we still received numerous visitors - probably around 350 this year.  The first one arrived around 5:30 and the last one rang the bell about 9pm.  Lots of Marios, Disney princesses, and babies being held by adult parents with their bags out to be filled.  One little girl trick or treated with no coat or shoes - yes, she was barefoot!  I couldn't believe her parents let her walk around like that in the dark of night filled with rain.  As the hour grew later, the teens arrived- a mix between guys with no costumes, just regular clothes, and girls wearing Playboy brand getups.  The highlight of the evening was the reactions Stubbs received when all the visitors saw his dinosaur outfit!  He was having a grand time because, due to his incessant barking each time the doorbell rang, I held him for most of the evening. 

P.S. Happy Birthday Mom!!!  You continue to be greatly missed - wish you were here to share our Halloween bounty!!!
