The One With Halloween 2022

 

 

Today was Halloween 2022 and we definitely had a memorable day. This was the first year that Bri and Kiff were on their own with friends. And they were looking forward to it. Here are the highlights of the day.

 

 

 1. In school, I did my annual "Legend of Sleepy Hollow" showing. I have to admit that the 8th graders were more into it than most classes I got. Not only did they get the humor, they also got the nuances and had a lot of commentary.

 2. I booked it out of school as quick as I could. It was weird going to Natick and spending only a short period of time there, instead of setting up the Natick spectacular we used to do.

 3. We quickly made sure to clear off walk when I got home. I also had a chance to chat with John next door for a while.

 4. Sandy next door brought over some goodies for Bri and Kiff.

 5. We had our annual Sweet and Sour Meatballs for supper. I love that food tradition. The kids had to eat quick so they could go out. We watched America's Fact or Fiction: Trick or Treat while eating. I forgot how good that show is.

 6.  Kiff dressed as some mutant Tron character (although I doubt he would put it that way). He had a black track suit with blue lighting. He traveled with a group of friends - Jason, Adrian, Josh, Connor, and Finn. Bri, who changed into her costume at Erica and Raina's house, was the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland.  They met up with Sienna as they trick-or-treated.

7. At home, Emmie and I manned the fort. We had a record 33 trick-or-treaters show up. We've never had that before. Of course, I think it is because Emmie decided to serve full size bars.

8. I did post my annual Halloween Peanuts post on Facebook (with the picture above).

9. The night ended with the yearly visit from the Great Pumpkin. Oh yeah!
