We first walked our neighborhood with Zelda. We had success at 1 house.
We drove to neighboring subdivisions with little success there either.
They ran from door to door excited to see all the lights on, but alas no one answered in this neighborhood.
THOR was ALWAYS lagging behind. I think he was overstimulated. He just couldn't focus and follow. None of the kids seemed to be able to follow even the simplest directions, they were in their own little worlds.
See THOR, always the distracted one.
We only succeeded at about 10 houses before we went home for the night. The kids were happy so were we.
We had an EVENTFUL drive home. Jake wanted some EGG NOG so we headed to the local grocery store. We're driving along ("in our automobile" you know the song) and out pulls this truck in front of us. Jake has to SLAM ON THE BRAKES and he lays on the horn. So once we start going again Jake gets around the guy thinking we don't want to be behind this wacko. Well as we pass him he is flipping us off and yelling "It's HALLOWEEN cuss word then racial slur." CLASSY! I tell ya. Well we notice he is TAILING US the entire way to the grocery store. He follows us into the parking lot. I'm thinking this is crazy ("but here's my number..." again just sing it). We see a guy who might be a cop so we ask him if he is because we have a crazy guy on our tail. He says he's not and then gets into his fireman (Ford) truck. We park and Jake gets out (looking ready to take care of business). The guy is circling our van in his truck, on the phone with the POLICE giving them OUR INFO! He drives off and Jake goes in and buys egg nogg. I wait and let the kids eat candy. As we are leaving the grocery store TWO COP cars pull in. It felt like on a movie when the people who commit the crime drive away and sometimes right past the police. Can you picture it? Not that we did anything wrong but it felt like it because obviously they were there looking for us.
We went home, ate candy, drank Nutella Hot Cocoa, and went to bed.
This morning I woke up to the scene below. Only the shield and hammer weren't put away last night so they had one last little interchange. LOVE THOSE BOYS SO MUCH!
Did I mention THOR wanted to hit every car (especially ours) with his hammer last night? Well he did, and we didn't let him.
WOW!!! How eventful was that??? Crazy...I wish I would've known that you wouldn't have much success in your neighborhood...you should've/could've come to the City of Davenport party, it was a lot of fun, put it on your radar for next year.
