That's so sad. ;_; You should visit here for Halloween next year. We'll show you proper. lol
Mat, the Mexican is fantastic. lol Also, your shirt is awesome.
I've uploaded our Halloween pics. Sorry for the picture-intensiveness.
Here are pictures of our pumpkins:
In the back you can see our cauldron. It was quite cool. We have a fog machine in it, so every so often it'd puff out a nice fog cloud.
Also, you can see our lovely black and purple spider. She guarded our candy bucket we left on the chair for treaters when we went out. Our candelabras are there, too. Orange candles on the left, white on the right. They both had orange last year, but some lights busted and we couldn't find proper replacements.
Tim's pumpkin was tha Brain Tree again:
I liked mine the best, a nice night scene:
Morgan's was an upsidedown bat in a cave:
Jasmine's was a cat with a spider:
Robin's was a wolf with a moon:
Gwen's was a furry spider:
Tim carved them all Monday night. We had a garbage can *full* of pumpkin pulp. lol
Then we have the girls individually in their Wizard of Oz theme.
Morgan as Dorothy:
Jasmine as the Tin Girl:
Robin as the Scarecrow (if you look, you can see(or not see) her missing front teeth lol):
Gwen as the Cowardly Lion:
All of us together on the porch (I like both pictures and couldn't decide between):
I'm wearing my favorite threadless shirt.
Tim wasn't in because he was taking the picture. He went as a copier repairman as he does every year, though.
We had a nice night. We had some car trouble at first when we were all set and hopped in to find the battery was dead. While waiting, the girls acted out their new movie Wizard of Oz 2: The Scarecrow Strikes Back. It involved a lot of fighting and saving the world with lifesavers. I believe the Tin Girl was transformed into a robot, Voltron-style. Dorothy was the comic relief. We also spent quite a bit of time trying to get the Cowardly Lion to say "Scarecrow, I am your father", but she was feeling a bit stubborn. I'm sure it'd be a blockbuster. After Tim gave the car a jump, we were off, though.
It was too cold and windy for regular treating, so we visited some houses (family & friends of family) we go to every year. I was a bit down that it was the first year we wouldn't be going to my gram's, but we visited her at my sister's (where she now lives after her spill two months ago) which was almost as good.
The girls ended up with handfuls of candy from each house and more pictures taken. We had planned to go to Friendly's for ice cream sundaes but it turns out they lamely close at 11pm on weekdays. We went to Taco Bell instead for some nummy tacos and quesadillas and got home around 12:30am. A perfect way to end a great Halloween night!
