It happens every year

Previously here in the blog, I've mentioned how Doug's mom refers to Trick-or-Treaters as "Halloweeners" and it is my favorite thing. I mentioned this to Jess the other night and they had no idea she calls them that. So it was a big laugh. Heh. Halloweeners.

We were at the hardware store the other day and they had so many cute and fun Halloween things. I don't really need one of those yards, full of inflatables and spooky things, but ya know. A fun ghost here and there. Bats or some shit.in a tree. Just a couple. But I never buy them. 

I bought a cute hat and necklace, and that was ... well. It.

I don't have costume things. I had a cool witch hat but hell if I can't find it now. I had some big plastic pumpkins that were fun to put strings of white lights in and set out on the porch. 

Living here in the DC area, I have looked over the past few years of Halloween and it has been really fun for us here. Tonight was pretty great.

We ran out of candy for the first time in a long long time. 

Well, Doug ate a lot of it. But. He insists only a little. I think it was 1/3 of what we bought. Not worth an argument, eh?

So many kids, so much fun. Dogs and kids and friends. It felt really good for halloweeners. 

I took Jess to the metro and they missed the last train. What world class city has zero trains from the suburbs beyond 11:30pm, I ask you. Jesus. 

We came back to the house and I got them an uber because I had too much wine to actually be a responsible drive my kid back to DC person. Realizing now this will publish on 11/1 and I should maybe make a 2 day post but. It is all good. 

Here's a pic of my neighbors R and J with their friends, with nothing but love for the Samhain and Halloween night. Digits below for 10/31 indeed.
