Happy Halloween!

The years creep up on you.....Mariah is out trick-or-treating with girlfriends and one of the mom's and one of the dad's. They all stopped by our house for intermission and a break, then took off again. Gib went straight from school to his friends' house for a costume party followed by trick-or-treating. His party rocks until 11 pm. Indy and Taryn are home right now. That may change shortly. They handed out candy, but we don't get many trick-or-treaters here. We had so many in our other neighborhood that I had to buy 20 bags of candy to survive the night. Here, not so much...maybe the equivalent of 5 or 6 bags and the girls give out handfuls since we know there won't be many at the door. Our favorite of the night was the cutest 1 yr old baby who was an adorable purple witch with a tutu'ish skirt (think Anne Geddes style). She said Happy Halloween, trick or treat and "tank-oo". The funniest was a trio of middle-aged boys who stood there with their bags held out but didn't say anything, so Indy just stared them down. The two G.I. Joe's and a "Grease" dude with face piercings crept closer and she cocked a hip and said "aren't you supposed to say something?" and they still stand there and she goes "you supposed to say trick or treat" and the big G.I. Joe goes "I ain't sayin' trick or treat" so naturally Indy replies, "then I guess you aren't getting any candy then are you?" but the other two who said trick or treat get lots of candy. And then big G.I. Joe just goes "TREAT" with Attitude. Luckily for him, Indy was slightly amused and gave him candy anyway. She says he was just joking around.
