halloween went off smoothly. we had the usual number of kids come by, maybe fewer than normal. the wind chill was in the 20's -may have had something to do with it. lainie and noelle went to a few houses in the 'hood and got the usual assortment of candy plus 2 cans of cherry coke(?). allison (and the girls) gutted the pumpkin and i got carving honors. nothing very fancy but it was a classic jackolantern (see images).
