The morning after

The kids had a great Halloween - they only went trick or treating for about an hour, but that was plenty of time.

This morning they wanted to count their loot - - 347 pieces of candy. That doesn't count the few they consumed last night, but still. That is a lot of candy.

Last night after trick or treating, one of the neighbors projected a movie on the side of their house. They kids bundled up with jackets and sleeping bags and watched Speed Racer. The parents sat by a cozy fire and had a few cocktails. That's how we roll here in Minnesota - you've got to enjoy every last moment of Fall.

Hopefully again next year they'll let me help make their costumes. The quickest was the Hannah M shirt. Indy's jacket was a hoot, and the cheerlearder was easier than it looked.

My cheerleader, Hannah Montana, and Indiana Jones.

Good times, I tell you.
