Trick or Treat

Chad and I were all ready for the trick-or-treaters on Monday night. . . and nobody came!! Well, I take that back. Our neighbor's grandchildren stopped by. There are three of them. . . only two are too old to trick-or-treat. One just stopped by to talk and the other one was taking her brother around to houses. Then my uncle dropped by with his two girls. One is 7th grade and the other is 9th grade. Oh. . . and the 8th grade boy from next door came over with is cousin just to say hello. We might have had 5 other kids for trick or treat.

So, we've got this HUGE amount of candy left over. I'll probably take it to work and let the kids have it. . . like they need any more sugar!

They had a "trunk or treat" at the high school track on Monday night, so everybody went there. . . which left all of us "regular folks" stuck home with a ton of candy. :-(

We gave up early and came inside and watched TV. I tried to go to bed early, but I didn't get to sleep all night. At 3:30 the phone rang. Last time the phone rang at that time of the morning, Chad's dad had a stroke and they were going to the hospital. This time it was some jerk asking me if I knew the muffin man. Of course, he called right back. . . with heavy breathing that time. The third time they just giggled, and I told them my husband said to quit calling and bugging us. the fourth time, I let Chad talk to them. They didn't call back after that. :-)

We got caller ID put on the phone on Tuesday. We'd been too cheap to have it put on before now, but we decided to have it installed. I don't get many weird phone calls from kids, but I do get some from parents sometimes. No more guessing about who's calling!
