It is usually such a beautiful night and everyone in such a good mood. <BR/><BR/>One house we stopped at is home to a guy from Madcap Puppets and he had a great costume, but he had to remove it because the little kids were too scared.CityKinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09068481950069401281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6782792124434572025.post-92045010353076120592008-11-01T20:06:00.000-04:002008-11-01T20:06:00.000-04:00I had two little kids show up dressed as Obama.Bot...I had two little kids show up dressed as Obama.<BR/><BR/>Both had matching jacket and slacks, white shirt, and proper necktie. One of them had a nifty Obama mask too. He also had brite white tennis shoes.<BR/><BR/>Great costumes. I gave them more candy than anybody else.

Hyde Park is racially diverse on Halloween like no other night. I try to live up to our reputation for giving out the good stuff.<BR/><BR/>There are 50 or so kids in our neighborhood, and we always see them. It's fun watching them grow up. But the imports make it a non-stop party. Car after car, dropping off and picking up kids, usually with a mom on the sidewalk following along and reminding their kids to say "Thank you" on the rare occassion that they forget. The costumes are interesting and creative, and everyone's having a good time. I wouldn't miss it for the world.<BR/><BR/>My 4 kids are all out with their friends. One in Oakley, two in Mt. Lookout, and who knows what AdamBomb is doing; he's not even home from practice yet.<BR/><BR/>Readers are cordially invited to stop by. Busken's down the street gives out pumpkin cookies, and four doors up we have 5 big Sam's-sized bags of candy to get rid of.<BR/><BR/>Happy Halloween!Mark Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15155390616574310800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6782792124434572025.post-20462277251357978002008-10-31T13:43:00.000-04:002008-10-31T13:43:00.000-04:00Going to a Halloween party in Prospect Hill.Going to a Halloween party in Prospect Hill.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6782792124434572025.post-36112171477295968222008-10-31T13:41:00.000-04:002008-10-31T13:41:00.000-04:00I'll be sitting on my steps in Prospect Hill givin...I'll be sitting on my steps in Prospect Hill giving out candy.

It also makes a nice fall break for her since it's 2 months or so after the start of our school year. We also always have a trip to the zoo - but that has just become less and less fun over the years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6782792124434572025.post-52152052787297865252008-10-31T13:27:00.000-04:002008-10-31T13:27:00.000-04:00We're in downtown Covington, and we will be drivin...We're in downtown Covington, and we will be driving to neighboring Newport to trick-or-treat near my daughter's school on Park Ave. It's quite the Halloween scene over there.

Meets and ends behind Annunciation Church and there will be cider, cookies, etc. Keller's IGA on Ludlow has some paper lanterns found between the cashiers and the cigarette case, or, when our kids were younger we took flashlights. It's a sweet event and should have good weather that evening.
