Happy Halloween!

I will be out Trick-or-Treating with the kids tonight while the wife hands out the loot at home. I;m going for the easy costume this year - a novelty stocking-cap-with-bloody-hatchet stuck-in-it. The kids are going to be grim reapers and/or vampire kids.

 

We have an army of carved pumpkins and a fog-belching skull on the front porch, pumpkin lights in the trees, hanging vampires and ghosts, a blood-dripped "Beware" window applique', and a life-sized skeleton clawing its way pit of a front yard grave site.

 

Yea Halloween!

Halloween is usually one of my favorite holidays but I just really haven't been into it much this year for some reason. Too much other stuff to think about this year I guess. Nobody even really decorated at my work either.

 

We're taking the kids out like we do every year. Then this weekend we'll be packing everything back up and putting it back down in the basement.

My buddy got a last-minute invite to a party tonight, and he has no costume.

I told him to write a huge "Fe" on a t-shirt and tell people he's Iron Man.

 

Hey, why is it that most of the trick-or-treaters come to the house after the supposed cutoff time of 6:00 PM?

We've had as many people in the last 45 minutes as we had in the 2 hours before that.

Enjoy the spooks! Anyone got any good costumes they are putting on this year?

I'm going as a pornstar. I just shaved my beard into a stache with a flava sava. I than borrowed my buddies UPS shirt and hat and bought a pair of brown shorts on sale for like 10 bucks and cut them super short (it looks terrible...all you can see are the white/hair on my thighs).

 

The reason for going in the UPS gear is because I'm going to be "delivering a package". No idea how it will go over, but I look ridiculous regardless (the stache with the flava sava and short shorts looks terrible). I'll try to post some pics tomorrow.

Or just tell him to grab a few pieces of paper and go as a paper shredder. Whenever someone asks him what he is, he can just start ripping a piece of paper and say I'm a paper shredder. That or just put a sign over his regular clothles that says, "Nudist on Strike".

I don't know of a cut-off time here in Mesa, AZ, but it's 8pm, and I've only had 6 or 7 groups of kids show up. Our house is decorated too, so I'd expect a little more action. My wife's still out with our kids. She came home, dumped their candy, and went back out.

I dont do the costume thing but I find children hilarious in theirs.You cant help but smile when you see them.

 

I was at work and there is a day care next door. The kids were going around the block and one was dressed as a banana. It was hilarious.

Thome gave out autgraphed pictures of himself to trick or treaters this Halloween. Jenks lives about 1/2 mile from him, but I didn't go by his house, so I'm not sure what he was giving out. Probably just candy - I'm sure the Jenks house always has plenty of that on hand.

I straightened my hair wore khaki's, a cowl neck cami and a cardigan. I also wore my matching pearl sets. I was a WASP.

 

I do have a funny trick-or-treat story, though. So, I have this huge dog (she's a great dane/lab mix) real sweet and just loves kids. So I would answer the door and squeak by the dog to the porch. Well, this one little girl (probably about 6 or 7) really wanted to pet Caton. There weren't a lot of trick-or-treaters out and about at this time, so I think, okay, should be fine. I take the dog outside make her sit and let the little girl pet her. All is going well, when all of a sudden the little girl grabs my dog's face and kisses her on the lips (right below her nose) and like holds the kiss for about 10 seconds. I'm just standing there shocked that, you know, my dog is kind of being molested, or at least is having kissing drills practiced on her. And as this little girl is kissing the dog (for a looooong time) the parents are just standing there saying, oh, how cute! It wasn't cute. It was weird. And now I'll probably need to get dog therapy or something.
