It was a very good Halloween at Russet House. Chloe arrived home in time to carve her pumpkin, she did a Hello Kitty pumpkin, very cute. Wanda was the first to arrive. She wasn't dressed up, but she brought us pumpkin shaped Krispie Treats and apple cider. Mark arrived shortly after. At first we were afraid we wouldn't have anyone show up. But, finally one girl showed up. Doug told her since she was the first, she could take three treats. She ran up the street to the group she was with and we heard her say, "That house is the greatest!" Pretty soon we had all kinds of kids. I think we ended up with about 15 kids for the night, an all time record.
Amy, Pat, Ella, Breckin, Dan and Gail showed up a little before 8. They stayed to have a little soup and chatted for a while. Ella was a rock star and Breckin was an Iowa Hawkeyes fan. Nick, Ana, Alex, Sarah and Jacob also showed up. Ana was a French woman, Nick was a robot and Alex was an alien.
