...and all through the house. Not a creature was stirring - except me digging through the candy buckets trying to find all the butterfingers. Man oh Man! We had a very wet and very cold but pretty great Halloween. It was kinda miserable at first, but we were determined. So, we all got wrapped up and headed out in the freezing rain. At first, there was no one on the streets at all. It was weird. But as if by clock work... right at 6 pm, all the doors opened and people were coming out on the streets in mobs. About a half hour later there were so many people on the streets you could hardly find your own children. This was the kind of Halloween I remember as a kid. It was too cool! One of funniest things was a guy in an Army uniform with a horrible mask on his face, walking around with an ax dragging the ground. He just walked around super slow and would zone in on a kid and start following him. It was hilarious! And then there was a house with the garage door open and smoke coming out from behind a strobe light. A chain saw guy was in there and would crank up his saw when kids walked by. Well, Allison had nothing to do with it. William was like, "I gotta fill my bucket... I don't care!" So he takes off to the porch and...
It wasn't too long into the evening that Emma gave up. She was dressed as a Genie and was freezing her butt off even after I gave her my coat. She and Billy went back to the house to hand out candy and Allison and William and I went around one more block. At one point, William tripped over his poncho coming down some steps and fell flat on his face. A whole groups of kids were all in line to get on the porch and they all stopped what they were doing and helped him up and picked his candy back up and put it in his bucket. So sweet! Overall, it was a good evening. A cool thing about it... I actually knew a few people and that was nice.
Now we're in November and still no clue about Billy's mission. I bet they don't even go.
