Goblins' Night!

I had one little goblin (dressed as a pup with a black nose) among a group of about six bigger kids that actually took possession of my candy bowl (I was holding it in my arms, she was hanging off it -- feet off the ground).

I had to beat her off with a stick while yelling , "No, that's enough! Stop! Let the others have a turn!" She was looking up at me with death in her eyes.  In fact, it WAS quite chilling. Even if she only came up to my knees, she wished me dead.

A Witchy Night . . .

Ooooh, ooh.  I KNOW there had to be witches on the road last night.  The authorities knew it too. They canceled the goblins' trick or treat endeavors.  It was a PERFECT "All Hallows Eve".  Rainy and blustery . . . AND . . . the lights went out! The roof lifted up off the hours two or three times.  I kept dragging a duvet around the house trying to find a safe place in case of tornados (later--when the lights came back, I found out there WERE tornado warnings).  Wow!
