Happy Halloween!

Behold my godson, Lincoln, as the cutest little "deviled egg" in the world!

My own little hobgobblins will be disguised this Halloween as well. Ryan will be a screaming ghoulie thing, a costume he built around his weapon of choice -- a plastic scythe. KK was going to be Hannah Montana until she removed the blond wig we bought from its package and discovered it looked more like randomly frizzy, deranged Barbie hair than anything Ms Montana would sport. I tried to convince her to reuse the hair as "Tabloid Britney" but she wouldn't go for it. Such a pity! She decided to create her own costume instead, "Kaitlyn-in-a-Box", which took some creative effort on her part and ended up being quite cleverly done. Kirsten is going as a UW student wannabe who is working in a Calzone joint while establishing residency to qualify for in state tuition.

I may still get my $13 out of that blond wig, though. I'm thinking about dressing as Trailer Park Barbie Mobile Home Community Barbie. Heavy make up, denim mini-skirt, black bra under Ryan's mesh practice jersey, Budweiser can in one hand (almost empty, of course), ciggie in the other. Shoes sold separately. Totally authentic.

Maybe too authentic... I'm pretty sure the neighbors would still recognize me. :-)
