Ever since the incident , we have been working on upping the security at home. Like getting the porch light to work (turns out it just needed a light bulb - duh), installing a peep hole, and since the kids will unlock and open the door for anyone, we got some latches to install today that are high so the kids won't be able to unlock the door.
I also was able to find something similar for the sliding doors. It's basically a pin that goes through both doors so when it's in, the door won't slide- again preventing the kids from just unlocking and opening the doors. Installation of the first went off with out a hitch, but the second door, just what Ryan feared happened- his drill bit hit the glass.
So now we have a broken slider. It seriously was cracking for at least an hour after it was hit. And we could just see the cracks spreading, and finally the weight of it has made it bow out and small pieces have been falling off. Does anybody know of a good glass company?????
But we didn't let that spoil our day. We had our ward's Fall Festival-mucho funo with loads of chili, candy and games, and face painting! Then went over to Gavin and Emily's ward's trunk or treat.
So Gwen's kitty painted face (from our previous activity) with her witch costume kind of confused people, but we thought it was cute.
And Drake was a hit! Everyone kept saying that the ghost was the "classic" costume, but that you never see it anymore. But honestly, ever since the kids have seen ET, Drake is always putting blankets over his head and pretending to be a ghost, so it was an obvious costume choice.
So it was fun to let the kids have a practice before Halloween next week.
And also nice to get lots of candy already! ;)
Next week, we'll join them in costume!!!
