L&I got a tent and the fire table set out by the road for trick-or-treat. We had our dinner out there between kids stopping by. Why does it have to be rainy and crappy every year for trick-or treat? We didn't have many kids and this was the first time in many years we didn't have a boy out gathering me bags of candy. We got things cleaned up and headed in.

He had a good time and said the coaches asked 'Hey kid, what's your name?'. He told them and they were like OMG you're little wings? hahaha it's been 2 years since they've seen him and he's so much bigger. I texted with them coaches and they confirmed they didn't recognize him and that he did really good. Not up too late.

We got the chili cooking and Gma&paW showed up and D helped carry in a bunch of stuff. We then got the hot dogs cooking and nacho chees fired up. L home and drinks out, TVs on, we are ready.

In to auditorium to learn about Newark and J won a prize for getting his card filled out... But the prize was broken...  We took a walking tour of the campus, nice little place. As we were leaving, to J's embarrassment, I let them know the prize he got was broken, they gave him a bunch more OSU stuff!  Went to Bummies for lunch had some fried pepperoni and amazing burgers. J drove home. Got home and J took off and I hit the desk trying to do a couple of things before the end of the day. I met Rob the Scoutmaster at the church and got he scout tent in case of bad weather tomorrow and we hung out for a couple minutes and got caught up.  Home and it was crappy weather so L&I didn't want to go to the high school football game. J&G went with friends, all dressed in pink for their theme tonight. L&I went to Burger King drive through for dinner, ate in the Kroger parking lot and then got groceries. Quite the data night. Home and got the groceries but away and did a bit more for the party tomorrow and in and I started watching the new Dune movie. 2.5 hours long... It explained things WAY better than the 80s version movie, but this 2.5 hour version only covered 1/3 of what the 1984 version did, so I guess more to come. G home from the game the Lions won and he had a blast and lost his voice.
