[blparent] Halloween.

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

We had hardly any trick-or-treaters again.  My daughter carved a pumpkin, 
though, with the help of her brother who she adores.  He made one, too, so 
they were displayed on the porch.  I have a big cooking kettle which is now 
brimming with sugar in all its many forms.

kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at 
evening.--Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

We had about 6 Trick or Treaters this year, kind of cold out today!  My
daughter, 14, went out with her friends and dad and I handed out the lute.
One thing I do is ask the kiddos to tell me what they are before I give them
a cdybar.  For the most part, they all do as I ask.  Now and then someone
will say, "why," and I just saw I can't see you.
This eveing,  I asked one little kid and he seemed quite confused, so his
bigger brother just lifted up his bag.  Anyway, they were all too cute.

Hi all:

Is anyone taking their kids out for Trick or treating?  My grandchildren are
too old for that of course, but our church is having a thing for the kids.
We are going to have games and hot dogs and hot chocolate after the games.
We are going to have prizes for costumes and hand out candy.  We are having
different stations set up so the kids can come and get some candy to take
home.  There are going to be a lot of adults along so I think it will be a
lot of fun.  I love the hchildren in their costumes.  some people get so
creative.  I am not sure what kind of games are going to be set up.  I am
going to be helping with the eats so that should be really grate.  We are
having a bon fire so people can keep warm while having the hot dogs and hot
chocolate.  We are also having muffins and decorated cookies.  Well that's
it for now I guess.  My daughter Grace is going to be there too with Zakkry
and Jason.
Zakkry won't be able to stay on his feet for that long so he will have his
wheelchair.  I won't go into a long story here for now, maybe some other
time.  But for those of you who don't know, my grandson Zakkry was involved
in a very serious car accident at the end of last January.  He had very
serious head injuries and wwe don't know just how far along he will come in
his recovery.  He is nineteen, but right now mentally he is about four years
old.  He still can't speak very well, but he is learning.  We have been
telling him about the Haloween party tonight and I think he gets it a bit.
His younger brother Jason who is sixteen says he is going to stick with
Zakkry and help him and talk to him if he gets anxious.  Jason is so
wonderful with Zakkry.  It is really something to see and I am so proud of
him.
Well I'll look forward to hearing how all of you are doing.

Wendy and kitty Ginger.
