I don't want to live in interesting times.

Mostly I was thankful to have my Things stop by, my in laws stop by, and Penny being happy for the company.

My neighbor held a literal garage band concert and it was super fun. There were 3 generations of musicians in the band and they played mostly Gen X music. We were able to watch the World Series and listened to a concert at the same time.

Trick-or-treating was kind of quiet last night, which I didn't expect for a Friday holiday. I'm seeing a tradition shift from neighborhood trick-or-treating to truck-or-treats through schools and churches. Makes me sad, but I have a lot of leftover candy which my present self is quite happy about.

I made a double batch of chili and have A LOT leftover. Future self is going to thank former self for the frozen assist when I have a chili hankering down the timeline. I also have bunches of cilantro. Creative ideas for that?

Halloween was a mixed night.

My family of borrowed littles didn't end up coming after all. One of the kiddos came down sick so the whole DC Super Hero crew trick-or-treated by themselves. I missed Super Girl, Wonder Woman, Batman, Flash, and Aqua Baby. That was disappointing...

I think it's a great cake! Happiest of birthdays to your birthday people. I vote spoon for the left over ganache--why dilute it?

Oh, no! Fireworks?! Poor Gilda. I'm so sorry. It's one of the few holidays we don't have people shooting them off.

It'll be my first experience of borrowing littles. I'll let you know how it goes (rubs hands together).

Thing 1 and Thing 2 will be there too. I'm sure all of the memories will come flooding back when I sneak peeks at them. It'll be fun to borrow the littles and give them back tired and sugared up.

I have a feeling it's going to be a paaarty! I will have to, at the very least, dig out my witch's hat. It's a lovely green satin with feathers and netting.

They have to sleep sometime, right? I have a big neighborhood with lots of walking and they only one that gets a ride is the baby.

I'm kind of looking forward to having littles in the house on Halloween. Maybe I can channel some of their energy. If nothing else, there's always wine in a solo cup and stealing some candy when no one's looking.

It'll be okay, just unexpected. I haven't had littles in the house on Halloween in a hot minute.

I made the muffins tonight. My chili is pretty easy. I just have to stop for toppings. I'm disappointed I have all these cool decorations and had no motivation to put them out when I have an actual audience for them. Sigh...

I'm hoping dinner, trick-or-treating, and candy swaps are enough. I have Penny's PT and work tomorrow.

I just found out we're hosting 13 people tomorrow for chili, cornbread, and trick-or-treating, 5 of whom are under the age of 8. 👀

Now I feel bad for only decorating outside. (I have a case of the blahs).

What lovely memories! The food looks amazing too. Isn't it interesting the differences between your mom's tomatoes and @montisboeher.bsky.social 's? Geographically not that far apart, but traditionally very different. I love that!
