Poor Alli...

While we were trick-or-treating last night, Alli tripped and fell. We were crossing a wide, busy street and trying to hurry because the opportunities to do so weren't coming around that often. As we sped across, she stumbled and down she went. Her elbows and knees caught her fall and she skinned all four. She also managed to spill candy out across the road.

We hurried Allison and the other kids safely out of the way and then my neighbor watched as the cars went by. As soon as she had a break in traffic, she jumped out to pick up a few pieces of candy until the next car came along. Four or five cars later, she managed to get it all except a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup that had been run over at least three times.
