fini Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 I am! I'll post a shot of the birdhouse costume this evening. Why couldn't she have picked "Hobo?" fini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frzninvt Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 We got lucky and found a super cute bumblebee costume at the grocery store of all places and it fit her perfectly, what luck huh! We carved up the pumpkin last night but since she is only 2 did not show a ton of interest until it was done and had a glowing candle in it.

bkrop Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 I only have to run to the store for some face paint to complete the "cat" outfit. PS My wife knows I would hide in the basement with the lights out, so I get to go door to door with my daughter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clipped and Shorn Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Last year it was poached, and before that hard-boiled. So I guess the answer would be yes. Actually I am panicky now. It turns out that rolling up a pack of cigarettes in a tee shirt sleeve is not as easy as it looks. C&S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garymd Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Thank goodness my kids are too old for halloween costumes but tonight I'm dressing up as an audiophile and I'm going to pretend I can tell the difference between a Marantz 7C and a McIntosh MX-110.

joshnich Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Fini, I am shocked to hear that you could even consider the "hobo" option. In my neck of the woods the PC police would have your neck (or worse)!! josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champagne taste beer budget Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Daughters costume was easy, wife picked it up at the store. However, I AM scrambling to get mine done! 2 X 3 piece of plywood, hung by "suspenders" for lack of a better term, with a hole in the center I can stand in, so it hangs around my waist. Velcroing a battery powered clock/radio, battery powered lamp, ashtray, knocked over beer bottle, book and a condom on the top of it. Built in cupholder in case there are any beverages at the party. (DUH) Stapling material around the edges to fall to the floor. What am I? I'm one Night Stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fini Posted October 31, 2003 Author Share Posted October 31, 2003 Quick paint job, in-between today's raindrops. My 12-year-old is happy! She deserves it! She had a band performance, two play performances, and new braces this week! I just hope she's not asphyxiated from the spray paint fumes... fini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Fini, This was your idea no doubt! Poor kid. And yes, I'm always happy to see you. 3 trick or treaters so far. Not many little ones left in my neighborhood. Any who show up now will get a LOT of candy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
