By the numbers.
- 2 pairs vampire fangs.
- 22 petrie dish desserts... 2 of the dishes broke.
- 31 - 17 Nebraska over Missouri. Boo hoo.
- 1 grandpa, 6 high school seniors. The conversation was pretty funny, actually. Grandpa enjoyed himself immensely.
- 3 girls from France, 3 cousins, 2 neighbors, and one Granny.
- 3 babies, but one of them dodged my camera somehow.
- 41 guests - friends and family.
- 40 breadbowls, 3 kinds of soup to fill 'em with.
- 4 kinds of beer, 2 kinds of hard cider (Hubster loves me).
- 21 trick or treaters, ranging in age from 19 months to 18 years.
- 3 handsome 13 year olds who aren't willing to dress up any more, but who followed the trick or treaters none the less, helping (a little) with the babies and jumping out of leaf piles to scare the people on the hay ride wagons. One of them did use a fake hand to his advantage -- he trick or treated with a mild joke, then dropped the hand into the treat bowl, scaring many of our neighbors (Dear Son was very amused.) They had 13-year-old-boy fun, I guess. And ate a substantial amount of candy. We told them that next year, they should make a haunted forest out of our side yard and scare people there...
- 6 large bags of Halloween candy (about 1000 pieces), 1 bag left.
We heard several good jokes this year.
- Where is Beethoven now? He's decomposing.
- Did you hear about the new constipation movie? It's not out yet.
- A little boy: Why don't vampires drink root beer? It makes them burp. Followed directly by his sister with Why do vampires drink blood? Because root beer makes them burp. She probably goes around righting his universe all the time.
- What did one grave say to the other grave? Is that you coughin'?
Amanda, Rachel, I know I'm missing some of the good ones...
"She probably goes around righting his universe all the time" .... LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!
