I am so proud of how the boys did last night with the trick r treaters. They didn't get too riled up at all...a few barks, but nothing bad. Marty, I took your advice, too. Our house doesn't have a front porch, just a stoop, which isn't covered, and it was rainy, so I opened the garage door and sat in a chair in the garage next to the front door. The kids all saw me and came right to me, which definitely helped. A bunch of doorbell rings would have driven the boys nuts, I'm sure.
