And then there's Halloween!

But, how in the world do you sort-out the candy and see what prize items you actually have?

We had exactly one group of trick-or-treaters knock on our 3rd floor door on Halloween here at Hampstead Rise. It just happened to be three dear kids we know quite well -- Reeve, Gabi and Rania. Ours was the last stop before bedtime for them after they collected quite a bit of loot from the homes of other ISKL teachers out by the school.



Alas, by the time Reeve got to our place his pirate hat had been relegated to to the car, meaning that "Grandpa the Photographer" (no relation to "Joe the Plumber") was not able to get the full effect. It was great having them stop-by, however. (Grandma Nancy missed the occasion since she had volunteered to chaperone students at a Habitat for Humanity "40-hour fast" down at the ISKL library.) - rw
