We upped our decor game this year. The kids had been begging to get more so Dave took them and they bought a graveyard set up for like $100 (ridiculous) and the evening they set it up we had a windstorm and all of the figurines blew away or broke. We went back to the drawing board and remembered how sturdy Nowayjose has been over the years and went to work. We had so much fun creating and decorating each of our gravestone, it will be great to pull them over the years to come.
Halloween was cold this year, 34 degrees, but sunny. I can always count on Dave to give me a detailed forecast about 10 days ahead of Halloween as he eagerly anticipates the holiday and crosses his fingers and toes for a promising forecast.
We were very strategic and went early, 5-5:45 and came home in time to hand out candy to about 200 trick or treaters. The kids had lots of fun sitting with me in our foyer, watching the kids approach and then taking turns placing candy in each person's bag. Our numbers were down this year, which we had anticipated because of the weather, it was fun nonetheless.
