OH YEAH!

This was funny, and I forgot to post it. When the boys were trick-or-treating one of the guys at one of the houses was making the kids do something for a treat (like dance or do a trivia question, etc). They were on the porch with a bunch of other kids waiting for their turn and the guy asked who the 16th president was. The HIGH SCHOOL kids on the porch did not know the answer, but the fourth grader got his candy for answering correctly.

Isaac was asked 4+4. It took him a minute but he got it.

Bryce got candy with no question because he "had the coolest costume of the night, maybe ever."

Bryce got that a lot. Many of the houses had people sitting on the porch or driveway handing out the candy (which I like better than knocking on a strangers door - especially after hearing about the 12 year old that got shot and killed when he knocked on a lit up door Halloween night, trick-or-treating - the guy, on parole for attempted murder, thought he was being robbed and just started shooting through the door). As soon as they saw Bryce they commented on how he had the best costume of the night, and then they tried to figure out how to get the candy to him. He had a bag inside his trashcan (he has no hands with the trashcan) for people to throw candy in. He says he is going to be the trashcan every year - it worked this year because we were at a new place that last year!
