I don't mind the kids, I actually have a blast because of all the black animals in the house staring at the kids through the door. Most of the kids love it too.
Nod tried climbing into someone's bag last year. Tried to snatch a toy ring from my hand as I was putting it in a bag this year. Timothy, tabby not black, sits on top of the TV and stares down the kids coming to the door. Winken sits in the window and watches everyone. Ashe and Sumi are their normal hissy fit selves at the end of the hallway. And then there's Tesla, I only let her in the room after the little kids are mostly gone for the night. She scares the crap out of the older kids. Big black 90 pound skinny hellhound that she is.
