Cad Bane

Show him a few Lee Van Cleef movies, esp. the two Dollar Trilogy movies he's in.

Max and I went to a party last night. He went as a Skyrim guard, complete with arrow in the knee. I went as Lady Alexia Terabotti from The Parasol Protectorate. (Don't ask me; I've never read the books.)

Okay, that's what my friend ended up calling me. What I really did was go to Goodwill Friday night, buy a curtain, and make a Victorian skirt. Turned out pretty cool. I added a puffy underskirt, a corset, and a Bowler-style hat. Ta-da! Pseudo-Steampunk!

There's enough fabric left to make a jacket, so I'm set for next year, too. Just need a parasol...

I thought these were brilliant.

Here in Florida some teenagers decided to go as their favorite characters from one of this year's biggest news stories:

This weekend we helped our friends at http://www.brierfieldironworks.com/. All the RV's and cabins decorate and kids do their trick or treating. Very nice, great fun. My buddy also provides Haunted Tours (the park is known to be haunted) but we add a little bit to it. For example my son was in full camo/ghilli suit with a troll mask under the covered brigde, we also had another teenager under the church, and a plant in each tour group to slam a door at on specific cabin. Great fun was had by all.  I got lots of candy too. 

BTW, we stay at the superintendents house when cold, there have been reports of sounds, apparitions, slamming doors, and a park ranger swears he saw a full body ghost that chased him out of the house. I have never heard or seen anything, but its great for creeping out the kids.

I intend to tax my kids candy haul. I will take smarties during candy inspection.

My daughter accused me of eating all the butterfingers out of her candy bag this weekend.

I'll be taking out our two tigers.  Pretty sure the older tiger, who now has a well-developed sweet tooth, will want to go to as many houses as he can.  The younger one though, well, hopefully he can be convinced to follow his brother to 3 or 4 houses before wanting to go inside.

One of my nephews still gives me shit over the Uncle tax I took when he was little. And he's 25 now.

So I took out the Reese's minatures. Big deal.
