No, I was going to...I had these leopard boots with huge platforms that I wanted
to make a costume around...maybe Peg Bundy or something....the shoes just make you
walk like her... ;-) But I ran out of time.
Jacob went as the 'other Ash' from Evil Dead....but decided not to wear a chain
saw for a hand at the last minute so I don't think anyone could know who he
was...he doesn't care, though....
Sarah went as a carton of milk. LOL! Actually, it was really impressive! She even
had a red and white striped straw to drop the candy into
Just now, nearly 11:30, I had really strong knocks on the door....police type
smacking on the door. Figuring I had locked my kids out, I ran to get it before
they woke up Buck...it was some dumbass teenagers! No costumes....just idiots
saying "trick or treat". When I peeked out, they started wailing on the door
again....so I grabbed some excess candy, opened the door a crack, and tossed the
candy as far out onto the dark lawn as I could....that took care of those pathetic
fools....
I think they are still out there...they need to go get a bloodhound.

You could probaby have brought a wooden sword to work. My parents were the sort
that realllllly got into halloween costumes when I was a kid. My dad had a sword
that he used with costumes like Mark Anthony, or pretty much any character he
could go as who would let him use the sword. It was awesome, and dangerous looking
until you got really close so you could see that it was metallic paint and of
course, not at all sharp. He even changed the handle (hilt?) to match the style of
outfit he would wear. They won a ton of costume prizes all with stuff they made
themselves.
I remember they were the coolest parents in town when the went to a party dressed
as Elenor Rigby and Father McKenzie...from the song that you young ones won't even
remember by the Beatles. My mom carried a doll head in a jar to go with the lyrics
"....wearing a face that she keeps in a jar by the door, who is it for?"
Now you probably know why I am such a strange parent!
