Hayden was actually down with cleaning out all the gook, which was nice since that has historically been a dad duty.
Seri drew her own face on her pumpkin... which looked nothing like the finished product but, she was happy none the less.
After that I took Hayden to his Halloween party at school. Right away I find this kid dressed as the black knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Sure enough there is his sister in a killer rabbit costume complete with really sharp teeth!
It was hilarious and their parents were cool enough to let me get a picture. Hayden was in his costume as well. When I got it, I found these really cool red goggles, which ended up being lost by the time they were needed. Luckily, I had some red hair dye so I spiked his hair up and he was good. He was a mercenary... but he insisted on calling himself a mercy.
When it was time to trick-or-treat, I ended up using the hair dye as well as some black make-up to make red and black tiger stripes across Hayden's face. It ended up looking really cool. He was a bloody mercenary now... or a bloody mercy if you asked him.
Seri was Snow White. She would not sit still long enough for a good picture! She was really pumped!
She would truck up to any house, very much wanting to go all by herself and yell out 'Trick or Treat!!' and then plop her bag down in front of the candy giver. If the amount she recieved didn't meet her internal quota... she'd repeatedly say 'Trick or Treat!!' till she got another candy. It took me a while to realize that she was extorting all our neighbors this way.
Pretty soon her bag was pretty stuffed, but she wanted to just keep on trucking. I ended up giving her a piggyback ride back to the house where she promptly fell asleep on top of her candy bag!
It was a good night, we did have the usual idiots playing Tejano music till I called the cops on them... again. I also got to use a liberal amount of dry ice around the yard so we had spooky smoke all night. It was fun.
