Do you remember what I saw last year on my way to school on Halloween?
I made TWO trips to school today - Youngest had to go in early to finish an art project, but I think he just wanted to wear his costume longer,

he's being a goth vampire. Can you see the great fangs over his perfect new teeth?
Middle sauntered out to the car later.
On the first trip I saw an excellent Jay and Silent Bob - IN FRONT OF THE CONVENIENCE STORE. I did point out that they are funniest IN FRONT OF THE CONVENIENCE STORE and that they won't be as funny when they separate and go to classes, but they looked great.

The real Jay and Silent Bob.
But it was the second trip with Middle where I saw more costumes....
A pack of girls (about 10) were dressed as firefighters. They had little red dresses and were wearing pretend firefighter coats with reflective tape on them. They were all wearing tall black high heeled boots and carrying little plastic fire hats. I suspect the fire hat portion of the costume will get tired sometime around 4th period.

I don't think they had this much cleavage. I'm HOPING they didn't have this much cleavage.
A teacher crossed in front of my car with wicked witch tights on - black stripes. I've seen her before and she doesn't wear those tights every day, so I'm guessing it was a costume.
A male teacher took a cardboard rifle out of his coat in the parking lot. I'm not so cool with an armed teacher at school. I'm hoping he's a revolutionary war hero, but you never know.
Maybe we'll see him on the news tonight.
There was a kid with a scary latex mask at the top of the steps. He was surrounded by other kids in various stages of costume.
The campus was more animated this morning. I'm guessing it will be a fun day.
Sadly, Middle is too blase to report back about what he sees today.
And what did Middle go as?
Gray scale.

In ten years when I have two teenage females, there's no way in hell they'll be dressed as anything slutty. Over. My. Dead. Body.
Oh wait, it's not ten years. It's less than eight. Now THAT is scary.
THAT IS HILARIOUS.
When I was at school, he would have been the kinda boy I totally had a crush on but was way too fat, too loud and too awkward in that loud/dominant/scary way for him (or any boy for that matter) to even consider me gf material.
I detest any form of celebration requiring a costume. Full. Stop. Halloween is slowly gathering pace over here and I am not happy about it one little bit. Purely for the whole effort reward factor mind you.
