WE HAD TRUNK OR TREAT FRI. NIGHT THE 28TH). SOPH WAS A ZOMBIE, JESS WAS FEY RAY FROM KING KONG, I WAS A HOT AIR BALLOON PILOT, & MK WENT WITH EVERYTHING THAT COULD POP A BALLOON (HE HAD DARTS, A SHARP STICK, A SWORD, A SLINGSHOT…) ZACH WAS GONE (DARN HS TENNIS TEAM! THOUGH EARLIER THIS MONTH, HE ATTENDED A HALLOWEEN DANCE AS SOME KIND OF DISCO DUDE, W/AN AFRO, & A SHIRT THAT LIT UP, ACCORDING 2 THE BEAT OF THE MUSIC.)

UNFORTUNATELY, A COLD FRONT CAME THROUGH (IT WAS LIKE 40 DEGREES, INSTEAD OF 70 DEGREES), SO IT WAS THE COLDEST–GLAD I WAS WEARING A HAT, BLANKET, & MY BATTERY-POWERED COAT! AS FAR AS A WARM COSTUME GOES (& I DO RATE A GOOD COSTUME BY HOW WARM IT KEEPS ME!), THIS WAS THE BEST! BUT MY POOR CIRCULATION DID NOT HELP THE FACT THAT I WAS STILL COLD, WITH A LEFT HAND THAT FELT LIKE ICE, & MY NOSE WAS A DRIPPY FAUCET…

PLUS, IT WAS SO WINDY, I THINK THAT AFTER 30 MIN., THE WIND BLEW THE BALLOON INTO MK’S HAT, THAT HAD DARTS, & MY BALLOON POPPED! LOL IT WAS TOO WINDY ANYWAY!
