Halloween

Tomorrow we are celebrating Halloween again. I was hoping for warmer weather as I enjoy a lot of candy giving and seeing the neighbors and their children. Mark is going out as a Fireman this year. He has the hat, jacket, and toy fire axe all ready to go. The two Halloween's that stick out in my mind was in about 85 or 86 and it was around -40 below out. That was a lot of fun and two years ago when there was a jail break of several violent criminals in Saskatoon the night before and there were almost no children out that night all across the city. I miss the Halloween's I had in Calgary growing up. I remember them being really hot evenings, perfect for collecting bags and bags of candy. You could never have enough.

Two years ago, we had Jeb and Sharla over for the evening and Mark was dressed up as Yoda (he could barely walk so he walked like Yoda too) and was so hopped up on sugar that he could have done some of the stuff that Yoda did in Attack of the Clones. It was funny to watch. Watching Mark made me feel quite sorry for my mother and every teacher I ever had who had to teach a class of students on November 1. It must have been horrible.
