Kind of a slow Halloween

Not a whole lot of kids really. They didn't start coming until 7pm and we were out of Teddy Grahams and Animal Crackers (the non-iced kind) by 8pm. My father and I sat on the front porch which turned out very well. The dogs go ballistic when the doorbell rings so we decided to park ourselves outside. My dad even set up his little TV to keep us entertained. We watched The Simpsons and Seinfeld and actually got to see a lot of both shows, that's how few kids came by. Less than 100 for sure. The temperature was nice, high 60s I'd say, so the kids didn't have to wear coats over their costumes (something I suffered through as a child in NJ). My favorite was the flamingo, it was such a cute costume. But the cutest kid overall was this little blond haired, squeaky girl who couldn't have been older than 4. She had a backpack and a map with a smiley face on it sticking out of the backpack. I asked her, "Are you Dora?" She exuberantly replied, "I'm Dora!" I chuckled and said, "You look just like Dora." She replied again, with the same exuberance, "I'm Dora!"
