Hallowe’en 2008

Marshall had a fabulous night. I picked him up a bit early from Cathy’s place. We managed to get a couple of pieces of a peanut butter sandwich into him before too much candy. We were out for what must have been about an hour or so trick-or-treating around the nearby blocks, then brought him back – he had started dragging his feet and said it was time to go home because it was too dark out.
His little pumpkin bag was getting pretty heavy too. So we came home and dumped the candy out and convinced him to go another few houses with Rick, who had been home handing out candy.

We didn’t have a great number this year, and I had bought enough for 100 kids. I think we got maybe 30 this year, although I think we had about 70 last year. Our little block has only a few houses on it, and a couple of those people weren’t home, so I guess the kids generally don’t bother with our block. Oh well… must not eat candy and chips now.

I added some pics to our picture page – have a look at the smilebox and also at the October 2008 album.
