Happy Halloween!

The kids all got quite creative this year and it seemed I was running all over town for this or that to complete the costumes. Brad went as Willy Wonka (we've had more fun out of that $5 garage sale tux!) Karina and 5 of her friends made their own Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle costumes (which were a nice departure from today's teen "slutty stripper" costumes that were everywhere!) Kimball was an "Aquabat" (they are a Ska Band we knew from Huntington Beach and have been seen on the new psychadellic kids show "Yo, Gabba, Gabba") Lela and Lindsay were about the only "normal" costumes this year...they went as Elphaba and Glinda from the broadway play, "Wicked" (otherwise known as the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the good witch). As usual, it got really cold on Halloween night, but that didn't stop the kids from making a haul! Kent and the kids have learned how to hide it all from me so I don't just throw it out. It is such an uphill battle from now until Jan. 1!
