Family Halloween Party

When Mom mentioned that Megan had suggested a family Halloween Party, I was excited! I decided that I would dress up as mom (you know, the big hair, nude colored lipstick variety) and decreed that we ALL should dress up! Amazingly - they listened! Check everyone out!



Andy is the ghost of Patrick Swayze, I was mom, Matt was a mad scientist (scarily, the only item he donned that he doesn't normally wear at work was the tape on his glasses), Jesse was a gorilla, Megan was a stoned hippy, Mom was....scary (Matt brought a plastic severed limb, and she kept acting like she was gnawing on it!!), Kristin was a vampire, (as I think was Paul - he had yellow eyes with a red ring around them!!), and Dad....Elvis - complete with the spray on hair. The funniest part of the evening was when we kidded him that the spray was meant for hair, not skin, and probably would leave a lingering black residue. Hee, hee, hee.

Here is a close-up of the three undead. (Check out the eyes!!)


Vampira ready to munch on her nephew.


Afterwards we all carved pumpkins (except for dad).



What a ghoulish night!!

I always knew there was more to that 'nice family' act...watch that lil' feller for fangs...

Made me think of some shenanigans you youngin's have pulled off over the years - and I am SO JEALOUS of those pumpkins, we didn't carve any this year because Carrie absconded with with punks and spent Halloween in western Wisconsin. And I ate mine...
