Halloween!
Oct. 31st, 2022 11:37 pmI managed to make the huge 9th House skull I was thinking about making, as a decoration for trick-or-treat night. We had a number of kids!
This year I finally got my act together to order some toys ahead of time. The "mochi" squishy animals were a hit, and there were several takers for the fidget toys as well.
I decided to dress up at the last minute: black clothing, clip-on sunglasses for my glasses, sword, and black and white face paint. My hair wasn't the right color, but I made it stick up on end pretty well. That rendered me Cavalier Primary to the Ninth. ;)
Partway through the evening, Belovedest came home and was able to swap out the bulb in the entrance light for something that would do colors, so I was able to sit in dim purple light instead of light so bright I could barely see outside, or only scattered light from the living room so nobody could see my haphazard nun of the Locked Tomb skullface.
We got only one little group after 8-something, so we closed up shop at 9, though I spent another little while culling the candies we don't like from the group (sour apple, banana, peanut M&Ms) plus some token other ones, out in an offering basket on the doorstep.
Much internal silliness with Steph claiming some gummy sour worms for Science! (unknown type) and other such things. Steph has "absconded" with the big box of Welch's fruit snacks and most of the sour gummi worms.
Now I get to go scrub my face, take a shower, and get some sleep before it's Fun Time tomorrow morning.
People have my post-by-email keys, so there may be a few updates after I have to surrender my phone.
