Halloween 2008
Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, it's Halloween time again.
I tell you, I better enjoy this while I can because I don't think I'll be getting many more. Kris was at a football game and Jen decided to dress up mainly because she had a friend over that lives on a farm and you half to walk 1/2 mile to get to the next house. With any luck, Jake will be with me for another couple of years. At least I hope so because I've already gotten next years costume.
I just realized I don't have any pics of Jake. He was death with a sickle. I'll try to get one from a neighbor and post it soon.
Jake was very proud of his pumpkin. It was the first year he pretty much did everything (Except scrape out the real icky stuff inside the thing, of course)
Here are the girls getting dressed up. That is Katie, in her Geisha getup and Jen, as death. (Gee, can you believe that Jen dressed up as death again)
Here I am as Peter Griffen. If you don't watch "Family Guy", this will mean nothing to you. I used the fat suit and pants from the Plumbers Costume, the shirt from a neighbor and the head from Target. It didn't work as well as I'd hoped, especially since my Peter Griffen impersonation sucks. It was still a great excuse to go out drinking with my kids. And I got a little candy out of the deal.
Jen, after she realized I was trying to take her pic. This was an outfit I made for her from some fabric I bought at Wal-mart. She needed it for some stupid book report, or something. I think she just wanted a cloak and made up the book report as an excuse.
The Geisha girl.
Here we go. As you can see, the kids were a little in a hurry and we didn't let the fact that the sun was still up get in the way of our festivities.
Our neighbor, Michelle. Let me tell you, she can be a real witch, sometimes.
This is George. He shocked us all. No matter how many years I dress up, he will always have one up on me because of this get-up. It was so out of character, that nobody realized who it was. I wasn't completely sure till this picture was taken. After I grabbed his boob, he pinched my ass and then I knew who it was. He had better be glad that none of our neighbors had guns by the front door because he evidently scared the hell out of a couple of them. Without a word, he did stuff like keep grabbing candy (he did this to Kathy) and following them into their houses. No body shot him and we are all still friends.
