Halloween 2013

[Barrister]

SO last night Andrew, of course had no clue what was going on.  I took him to three houses, then took him tome.

Timmy however knew EXACTLY what was going on, and loved it.  We went around the cul-de-sac, and he wanted to keep going.  So we started down a neighboring street for awhile.  Eventually though his little bucket got heavy for him, and he wanted to head home.  He stuffed himself with candy, but then was very into giving out candy.  He'd sit by the front steps waiting for kids to come by.

Henry and David had an awesome time.  In one of those inexplicable David moments he remarked last month he wanted to be a blue M&M for Halloween.  So he was a blue M&M and Henry was a red M&M.  People kept complimenting me and my wife on our creativity and we had to tell them it was, in fact, all David's idea.

We don't go around collecting around my neighborhood since it's old folks that don't give out candy anyway.

We went to my half bro's house & went around collecting with his kids. It was a rough start, Ariel was scared, trembling scared by my bro's zombie mask & it took a good 30mins for her to calm down enough to understand what was going on. She wanted badly to go home, at some point she went & climbed in the car. I did 3 house with her before mommy made everything alright by showing up.

My son won the costume prize at his high school.  He wore a wrecking ball (which he made out of a box and duct tape) and put a picture of Miley Cyrus on the front.

So he had Miliey riding him?

So Tommy was all down on his costume because nobody in his Kindergarten class had a clue who Cad Bane was.  So he refused to go trick or treating in that costume.  So we dug out a Darth Vader costume my brother had gotten him for Christmas last year. 

Trick or treat got postponed until tonight because of the "wind advisory"

Raz, your niece is absolutely adorable.

No one in my house dressed up. Kids are too old to go trick-or-treating, and in fact, Riley managed to unintentionally shame a few of the teenagers who came to the door.

She was dolled up because she'd planned to go to the volleyball regional championship game, and then opted not to. Still, she looked very pretty. Three teen boys who were roughly Riley's age, maybe a little older, came to the door in full get-up.

Boys: TRICK-OR-TReeeeee......
Riley:
Boys: "Trick-or-Treat"
Riley: *hands each boy a sucker*
Boys, walking away: We're really too old for this...
Riley:

Who is Cad Bane? 

[Grey Fox]

Shame on Riley! Free Candy until 16 is a sacred right!

Who is Cad Bane? 

A Star Wars Bounty Hunter.

Shame on Riley! Free Candy until 16 is a sacred right!

As they walked away, she said to me, "That's ridiculous. They're old enough to get a job and buy their own candy!"

Oh please, I am proud my son has no shame like me, he got a bag full of loot trick or treating without a costume.

I will give candy to teenagers like that, but I most definitely give them shit for it, too. It was all the more funny that they didn't have to take it from a frumpy, middle-aged woman, and instead got it from a beautiful teen-aged girl.

Oh yeah, I was the first one giving him shit for it at every door (and then stealing his Butterfingers).
