Thanks Jacob for helping me pass out the candy!!!!

Later after everyone left Rachel and her friends (kiley, Morganbeth and Chelsea) hung around cause they were want me and Tracy to take them to the Cemetary....well Tracy didnt want to cause she was afraid it would spook her and rocky was going to be gone. so I told them I woud. Well we didnt quite make it out of the house because just as we were leaving someone pounded on my back door really loud...and all five of us yes i said ALL five of us started screaming...so we went outside to see if we could see anyone and couldnt so we searched all around the house and then all of the sudden someone jumped off my ROOF!!!! well the girls chased out after them...come to find out it was a couple of the girls friends and my friends son JoJo Staires was the one on the roof!!!! they were dressed in black and their faces painted red...scared us to death but all in all it was a great time.....reminded me of the stunts me and my friends use to pull when we were younger!!!! oh yeah one more thing later on that night Tracy took the girls, at midnight, to where the boys were spending the night to scare them and the girls dress all in black and it back fired on them the boys scared them AGAIN...so the war is on!!!! lol
