they were legion

We got a surprising number of trick-or-treaters last night. Last year we had about 20 or so, and so we were expecting to have a lot of candy leftovers to munch on for the next few weeks. It turns out that we didn't even buy enough! Depending on who you ask (me vs. Sarah), you'll get a different estimate of the head count. Someone says 75. Someone who can't count very well. We had at least 100. You would think that an elementary school teacher would be better at keeping track of children. But no. You would be wrong.

Barney's first Halloween experience was a toddler/teletubby waddling up to our glass front door and peering/leering inside instead of knocking. Or, as Barney saw it, a little monster trying to murder us and steal our things. He had to be briefly restrained, and then he really seemed to enjoy watching the kids.
