1485

We have survived Halloween but we are exhausted.

We are coming to a point where we have to ask how much is too much.

As you can see from the pictures, we kind of go nuts for Halloween. But it is coming to a point where we are getting too old for all this. It takes a week of mild preparation, getting stuff out of storage in the upstairs of the Carriage House, getting batteries into the things that need batteries, pounding stakes in the ground for our impromptu fence. It's becoming quite an ordeal...even for retired people.

It's always fun once the action starts and it is still unbelievable to see the number of people who show up in our neighborhood. As noted in the title of this post, we really had 1485 kids come to the house this year.

And we would be remiss to not mention the friends who help us out. Thanks to Randy, Karen, Robba, Ellen, Mark, Kyle and Krystal. We could not do this without you. Seriously, we would be dead.

I'm so glad it's over.

Here are s'more pictures.
