It took some time to get the hair and make-up just right but in the end the Zombie Bride and Vampire Girl were ready to tackle to 'mean' wet streets of our new neighboorhood. Grace's hair was tangled and teased to great heights, but unbeknownst to her the rain knocked it down pretty quick. Not a heavy rain, just enough to become annoyingly damp. The kids had been off school for the third day so they were plenty rested and little rain wasn't going to slow them down. We headed out to pound the doors and avoid the crowds. There were so many people in the roads that it was unsafe to drive, although a few tried. We were back in the house with socks and shoes so wet that they wouldn't dry before the week begins, but it was minor compared to the pounds of candy that the girls scored. Somewhere along the line Grace even scored a full sized Three Musketters bar...like the holy grail of treating. Sadly she doesnt like three musketters bars and gladly traded Ella for a small package of gummy bears..all are happy in the great economy of Halloween candy trading. Now the task is to get it all eaten before the Christmas candy starts to appear.
