We had lots of kids tonight. And only a few teens/adults in street clothes. I managed to not totally freak out any little ones with the cackling witch. She is sound activated, she moves, cackles and her eyes flash red. She's about 3 ft tall and many thought she was another trick-or-treating kid on the porch. I think we had 5 Spider-men and 4 Supermen and a few of them were little girls. And the usual mix of angels and princesses and scary killer types. One of the cutest was a tiny Spider-man, maybe 4 years old. Coming up the steps, some of the older kids helped him, but they quickly ran off in search of more candy. I was just going to help him out, when he plopped his butt down and quickly scooted down each step and caught up with the rest of the kids. And another little pirate was so enamored with the witch and his ability to make her move, that he kept clapping and clapping, until his mother warned him she was leaving. That broke the spell.
All-in-all, a good night.

dbubley update: She will be moved to a skilled nursing facility tomorrow - we are pretty sure it will be KPAC (for local folks) and that is our first choice. She sat in her wheelchair for a few hours today. I don't think the leg looked any better today than yesterday, but the white cell count is coming down, so overall this is progress. I brought her a little tuna fish salad and crackers for an afternoon snack. The food hasn't been as bad as it use to be. They have a new contract with a local supplier, so the veggies and fruit is fresher. Of course, no salt, fake butter and airplane size portions doesn't make it great either. Stay tuned . . . same bat time . . . . same bat channel.
