It's finally here!
The day of magic and suspended disbelief,
a day to ward the evil from your home and dress in
whatever fantasy your fetid mind concocts!
It's Blessed Samhaim for some, with a formal dinner to welcome the benevolent, loved spirits
of the past to join the feast,
All Hallow's Eve for others,
and Halloween for the children in all of us.
Costumes abound!
Yes, that is The Husband!
Yes, that was his hair!
Yes, I took this picture!
No, I'm not telling you what's under his kilt!
The comic geeks in the crowd may recognize this as Kevin Matchstick.
A little Cos Play costuming.
Savannah's hair was done with drinking straws and an entire can of Aqua Net.
It took six months for the ozone to recover.
Samwow as the Joker and Thom as Neo.
And again, that's Samwow's hair.
But before you throw on the Michael Jackson and Thriller the night away,
we have one thing still to do...
The Pumpkin!
They're the last thing done around here so it lasts the tropical evening without becoming a
putrid pile of mildew, mold, and flies.
Scary, yes.
Palatable, no.
If you need some inspiration in that department, scroll on down!
