Trick or Treaters
First we had 2 trick or treaters come, both of them grand-children. Then we had a mom and 2 children that we didn't know. The mom had a sack for candy too. I asked who it was for, thinking she maybe had a sick child at home. She said "for me." I said "Oh, OK" and gave her some. We had plenty. That was a first for me. Last we had 2 great grand-children. The older one was a tooth fairy, the little one was a tooth.
So cute! Their mom made the tooth costume out of an old sheet. That's their daddy dressed as a hunter sitting in the chair. That's not really much of a costume for him.
The little tooth was adorable. She walked around in that costume just like it wasn't there. Once she fell over backwards and didn't hurt herself at all because she was so well padded. She's only 15 months old. I tried to get a picture of the 2 of them together, but they wouldn't hold still long enough. I'll show it to you anyway.
Someone said their mom should have dressed as a toothbrush, but she didn't think of that. This is what she looked like.
The next night was the annual fish fry that our son-in-law has. He fishes all year long and freezes the fish. Then he invites everyone he knows to a fish fry. They live next door to us. It was a success. Lots of people came. The food was good. There was enough fish. No one fell into either of the ponds. No one got burnt by the campfire out front or the bonfire out back. No one got too drunk that I noticed. (Of course, we left early.) I was really tired so went to bed even though the band in the garage was still playing. After I lay there awhile listening to the boom of the drums and the bass, I remembered that I had ear plugs. So I put them in, lay down on my side, put a little pillow on the exposed ear, and went right to sleep.

Clever costumes - the tooth and the tooth fairy! Sounds like a great Halloween - a fish fry is an excellent idea!
I bet the tooth and the tooth fairy won every one's heart. The on going band at night would drive me crazy.
Sometimes they practice once a week. If they were just renters we might ask them to leave, but they are family. When they practice our daughter makes them stop at 9 p.m. It's usually on a week night. We live far enough out in the country that there is no noise ordinance. I'm kind of glad that we can't hear the tunes (if any), or the words (which I'm pretty sure I wouldn't approve of.)
How CUTE the tooth and the tooth fairy! What fun! And the fish fry sounds like a good idea too -- as long as it's only occasionally, one can't complain too much about the band!
A beautiful familial Halloween!
