We had a fabulous night last night. I took the four youngest around our neighbourhood; there were six kids who came to our door (declining every year at least partly due to the declining birthrate), but the number of people in the neighbourhood open for business was up.
And Colleen’s cousin came over for the weekend. A great Friday night.
My girls went to a party last night, and I guess they’ll go trick-or-treating tonight unless they’ve argued with all their friends. Pre-teen girls’ friendships are incredibly volatile!
It’s Tom’s 13th birthday, and he’s going ice skating with a couple of boys from the Scouts, and then they’ll camp out in the yard.
Anoreth called last night. She’s back in Seattle after being at sea the last week or so. I told her she can have a “Harry & David” cheezcake if she emails her grandmother!
