The Day After Halloween

Well, it is 7:06am and Kat is off to work with her dad. It is go to work with your parent day for grade 9 kids and she decided that she wanted to go with her dad. Which is just as well because I am sure at my work she would be bored to tears, even though she would have gotten to participate in more than just my job. She would have been able to hang out with a physiotherapist, an exercise therapist and an occupational therapist. But Nooooo, she decided to go and hang out with a bunch of male mechanics who I am sure are going to teach her new ways to swear. I just wonder how dirty she is going to be by the time she gets home.
Halloween here was very nice. Kat went to a friends house to watch movies and hang out, Boo had 5 friends that came here and made this home base for their trick or treating. Since they figure this is their last year, they would go out with a bang. I have pictures, but will wait and see about posting them, since it has their faces in it. Boo went as sort of a witch princess type thing. Her friends all had great costumes too. One girl had on a poodle skirt, so was sort of a girl from the 50's. Because of the windchill last night (about -15C), they were all bundled up in jackets, hats and mitts. At one house, the lady made some snotty comment about how this girl wasn't dressed up. How rude was that? At least she made an effort and it wasn't her fault that you couldnt tell what her costume was because of the all the extra layers they had to have on. But they still had fun. It is amazing how loud 6 girls can be. They made it around our crescent and came back with full bags. I made them all strawberry tea to warm up and then they were off to one other crescent to do some more trick or treating.
Shorty went as an army guy. I had yesterday aftenoon off so when I picked him up from school, I had to run to Walmart to drop off a prescription and so we were able to find him an army hat to go with his outfit. He was sooooo excited. His dad was to be home by 5 and by 4:00 and then 4:30 and then by 4:45, he was all dressed in his jacket, mitts, etc and ready to go. Each time I had to tell him to get undressed as he had to wait for his dad. He and his dad ended up doing three crescents in all and he has a huge stash of candy.
We only got about 50 kids this year, which I guess has been the norm for us for quite some time. We live on the inside part of the crescent. My best friend lives on the other side of the crescent but is on the outside. She got over 100 kids. Kids just seem to stay on one side and never cross over. We have quite a bit of candy left over and I think the weather yesterday had a lot to do with it. I didn't get any kids after 8:30pm at all.
So that was our Halloween. Cor took the camera to work with him so that he could get some shots of Kat. A before shot, where she is all nice and clean, and then an after shot where I am sure she will be all grease and grime covered. The pictures I took last night are still on the camera so I should be able to put them up all at the same time.
