woohoo. the children came, ravaged, and left. heh.
today, while i was at school i stole our studio pumpkin. when i got home i quickly made a ghost out of a white pillow case, plastic bags, and a thick black sharpie. I decided that if i wanted kids to come, i'd have to at least show them that we were in the halloween spirit. when i went to go get the candy out, i realized jeremy and john had already eaten half of it! i had to pull out some reserves from the back of the pantry (large packets of nerds).
jeremy cooked thai noodles for dinner. as i was washing the dishes, jeremy rang the door bell pretending to be trick or treaters. i quickly turned around half expecting it to be kids...but it wasn't. ten seconds later, i hear jeremy and john yelling at me telling me that there are kids coming. i was like "yeah right, whatever." they were like "we're not joking." the next thing i know, jeremy is ducking behind the counter and john is running up the stairs. there must be some pedaphobia in our house or something.
i answered the door and sure enough, there were kids. my first trick or treaters.
i said "trick or treat!" and gave them each two pieces of candy.
i got quite a few groups come and go through out the evening. at one point, i had a group of savages come and ravage my bowl. they were kind of rude and just started grabbing out of the candy bowl. no manners. there were some really cute costumes. this one little girl was dressed as a lady buy. it was adorbale. a lot of the kids were not in costume though. i wonder if it's trend for kids not to dress up anymore. i'm also wondering how much candy is the norm to give out. at some points, i passed out the candy and the kids were still standing there waiting...expecting more, i guess.
oh well. i was just happy they came.
happy halloween!
we had just finished a nice yummy thai noodle dish that jeremy had cooked and i was washing dishes.
