Trick or Treat!
« on: November 01, 2019, 09:29:22 pm »
We can not believe what they charge for Halloween costumes ($40+), so for fun and to keep it simple, we let the kids make their own this year... they wanted to be mummies. They looked a little better earlier in the night when my wife had put dark makeup around their eyes, but that was a mistake as they rubbed it into their eyes right away, complaining that it was itchy...

(if you look closely, even their favorite stuffed animals are wrapped up  :D )

Looks like a good candidate for the Christmas Card.

Here are our costumes for a Halloween Party we went to last weekend.

And 2 years ago my brother had a Halloween party, we had both just seen a terrible movie, The Babadook, so I went as him and my wife as Annabelle

I stopped at McDonalds on the way to his house and ordered through the drive-up, was fun paying with the bills between my long finger tips  :D
