It was fun to see the hordes (up to 10 each) of kids on our street. Parents seemed like they were having fun too; I think I saw one woman with a plastic cup of wine. I wanted to get out of the house and just meet some new neighbors. A few people commented that they were surprised to see me walking around, telling me that I was "brave." I guess they figured I should be laying down in layers of down feathers, preparing for delivery. Gak. After we hit about 12 houses, we went back to our house and Mike picked up candy duty with Sophie while I sat down and assumed the TV position (a bad habit which requires its own post). I have to say that kids in our neighborhood are a little obnoxious. For example, one group asked Mike for bottled waters after they took candy. Only in Los Altos. We saw a lot of good costumes including a female Darth Vader. Our favorite trick o'treater was this preteen kid who was dressed as a door to door salesmen with a clipboard. When Mike answered the door, he asked, "So are you guys doing this Halloween thing?"
