A 35-year old man and a baby monitor = Halloween fun

Andy was feeling a little sick this halloween so for the first time ever, he took the answer the door duty instead of take the kids trick-or-treating duty. Next year I will wear warmer socks if I get trick-or-treat duty again. Karsten, Britta and I ran with a pack of about 12 kids and 6 adults trick-or-treating. I'd wheel Britta right to the door in stroller. Karsten was the first to the door and Britta was always the last. On the way home route I dropped Britta and the sack of candy off with Daddy. Karsten and I went to the neighbor's house for after trick-or-treating dinner and party.

It was wonderful and I felt badly that Andy missed it. On our way home I heard from another mom that her kid was scared at our house. I had my warning. Walking up the stairs to our house I hear a voice saying, "Karsten, is that you? Do not knock on the door." And then the sound of Andy making like a chain saw. Karsten loved it. Another neighbor friend was over, drinking Rainier with Andy and chuckling at Andy's brilliance of hooking up the baby monitor and then looking out the window and scaring the kids as they came up the walk way. I'd hoped Britta would have been in bed but Andy was carting her along with her. He said she would help by saying "Boo!" to the kids.

Now I'm back home and Andy has had a second wind and is hitting another neighborhood party for Superheros. Andy covered the stud finder with tin foil and is going as airport security. Not sure how that works into the superhero theme, but he must have some sort of angle.

Update: Andy needs a chaperone for the stud finder. I just got a preview of what he plans to do with it.

P.S. We had around 120 trick-or-treaters. Good thing we hit the store today for more candy.
