Halloween

We had a really busy Halloween! We had at least 70 kids at the door. Did we buy enough candy for 70 kids? Erm, no. Whoops. So some kids got quarters instead. It was a total surprise, having so many kids come this year. I'm sure we didn't even have half that last year, and yes, last year we DID have enough candy for a small army. Halloween. Ya never know.

A couple of the cute little trick-or-treat-ers wanted to come right in our house, and would have if their parents and I hadn't stopped them. It was pretty funny. Boy were those kids not shy at ALL.

Ben was pretty good. We used tonight as an opportunity to brush him up in his manners about the doorbell, i.e., stop barking after we tell him one time. There was freeze-dried chicken involved, so he caught on pretty quickly. And no, we did not dress up the dog, but look what I did find in Zellers:

I think Jackson got a kick out of all the little kids. He seemed very fascinated when we'd answer the door. Whether that was the kids or the costumes, who can say, but he was happy. I also got a couple of pictures of our double-sided jack-o-lantern, just for fun:
