Scary Halloween Stories... Okay. Not Really

I forgot to mention a few of the stories that went along with the boys' halloween pictures. Now, Brit was a tornado, as you saw. We were with our good friends who now have SEVEN kids (they just adopted the two from Ghana). So we were a pretty boisterous group. As we were going around the neighborhood trick-or-treating, he had a little trouble being able to see anything peripherally-- just straight ahead. Some of the front stoops, he could barely fit, and hardly turn around to come back down the steps. As we are walking from house to house, he would drift into the yards. Some had their leaves all raked in a pile, and Brit would just walk right through them leaving a trail of "debris"-- just like a tornado. Then there's Jack. The day before Halloween, Cameron had mostly finished Jack's costume. After school, Jack wanted to go over to his friend, Brandon's, and show him his costume. Now, Brandon lives one street over, and a couple blocks down, right on main. I told Jack he could certainly go show Brandon. His costume didn't yet have the little "window" through the framing and the buttons to allow him to see. I simply thought he was just going to carry it over to Brandon's. Well, pretty soon he has the scissors and is cutting the tiny holes to see out. He did really well. From the outside, you can't even tell. He tells me he is going to WEAR it over to Brandon's. I hesitated, picturing this headless person walking down main, but I told him to go for it. Jack is usually very shy. He was showing such excitement and gumption, I thought we should run with it. Well, he goes and then comes back a while later all smiles. We joked about people staring and wondering and freaking out. I asked him if the police came because of all the 911 calls. It wasn't until later that night at supper, Jack commented to Cameron that he needed to help him make the eye holes bigger because it had been a little hard to see... while he was RIDING HIS BIKE to Brandon's. Yes. Can you picture it. This headless person riding a bike down main street, never mind that he can barely see! Cameron and I laughed and laughed.
