Stardate 58103.1 (10-31-2004)
Halloween went much better this year. The weather was a little cold, and it sprinkled a bit, but no snow. The kid’s buckets were filled with candy. Thomas had a hard time. He had fallen asleep before we left to go to a friend of a friends’ house. He was still tired, and just did not have as much fun as the rest. The kids went to at least 25 houses. Rachel, her friend, and her friends little sister lasted the longest.

When we got home around 8, there were not a lot of houses in the neighborhood with people home. I think we made the right choice. The kids had fun, and they got lots of candy. I put the pictures together in a photo story, as Microsoft calls it. The released a beta version of a new tool to build a slideshow of pictures with music, notes, and commentary. I am going to try using it, since I have not be satisfied with my efforts at scrap booking.

I carved the pumpkins with the kids on Friday. Patrick’s pumpkin, the one we grew in the back year, weighed 52.5 pounds. He got on the scale, and he weighed the same. Just to make sure the scale was not stuck, I got on it and so did Rachel. It was not stuck. Ah, the strange coincidences you find in life. Rachel had a haunted house on hers, Patrick a spider and a pirate skull, and Thomas a cat. 

It's nice to be off of Daylight Savings. The kids do not have to go to school in the dark.
