our TOT was quite interesting. it finally stopped raining about 5:30. TOT was 6 to 8. DS goes over to a friends house, I stay at the friends house with their full grown boxer and hand out candy, DD hands out candy at our house, DH gets home about 6:30 and stays with DD, DS & I come back about 7:45 so that DS can go to neighbors' houses. Then we head over to FIL & MIL for FIL's birthday. Every year no matter if it is a school night or not we celebrate FIL's birthday on halloween. He isn't sure if he was born on the 31st because his birth certificate says the 30th but he has celebrated it on the 31st for as long as he can remember. It was a lot harder when the kids were younger. they would always be so tired after TOT and then have to go to grandparents house. over all the evening went well. DD had fun, DS had fun, Mom stayed dry & warm, and DH was able to relax while handing out candy.
