We had an interesting Halloween. It was our second as a family, and our first as homeowners. We weren't sure how many kids to expect so Doug bought two huge bags of assorted candies at Sam's. We didn't decorate much: a plastic skeleton on the cucumber/green bean trellis (it looked like it had died "on the rack") and some glowing pumpkins in the window.
Spirit, the dog, and I (dressed as a hippie witch) stayed behind to hand out candy while Doug (dressed as a hippe) and Weslee (dressed as Superman) went trick-or-treating. They left around 6 p.m. and within 15 minutes, children began stopping by and
kept on coming. Spirit growled at some kids and others, she didn't even stir from her nap. Weslee's foot (from the surgery) gave out by 8:30, and the candy was pretty much gone by the time we turned off our lights at 9 p.m. Dog and boy were sound asleep by 9:30 or so.
But ... while I was handing out treats, the phone rang. Guess who? Yes, at around 8:15, John McCain's camp called again. Another RoboCall. Geez, didn't he get the message that we've already voted? We cast our ballots Wednesday afternoon, now leave us alone.
And today, at around 4 p.m., our doorbell rang. The same front door that says "no soliciting". Yep, it was a poller or somebody, wanting us to vote a certain way on certain Amendments.
Tuesday isn't coming fast enough for us.
