Well, everybody else thought that the kids' homemade electronics costumes were fantastic, except for one mean kid who told Nate his laptop computer was stupid and sent him sobbing through the entire costume parade at school! He was so upset that he was making exlamations such as "I want to go home now!" and " I wish I had never been born!" and then broke out into a bloody nose during the parade to top the whole thing off.
Post-Marathon, the Jacobs kids came over for trick-or-treating but most homes had closed up shop by the time we ate and got the kids out 7:30, so they were a bit disappointed in the smaller candy stash they acquired this year. Mom, of course, was fine with this since they will never see most of that candy again anyways!
