We boiled our Halloween down to about 3 hours of fun this year. One hour handing-out candy as "Jason" and the "great bumpkin" and two hours at dinner with friends. 
I also had fun helping put on a haunted house at the homeless shelter last week with our good friend Karl and our XYZ network group from work. Karl went as the joker. I was Jason (what a great easy costume) and got to run the strobe light and fog machine! Lots of fun but I lost my voice from trying to scare the little five year-old kids... oh and their parents too.
Tina had lots of fun and wore herself out. Although this may have just been from a sugar coma induced by the chocolate chip Pizookie we at BJ's at dinner. A Pizookie is a very large cookie cooked in a small mini-pizza deep dish pan. It is brought out hot and gooey with vanilla ice-cream on top. That's goooooood stuff. So Tina passed out and Karl and I finished the night watching Resident Evil: Apocalypse (much better than the first). I love fall....a fun holiday every month! Got to start getting my stomach in-shape for Thanksgiving.
