Tricks and Treats

November 2, 2009

Here it is 3 whole days after Halloween and I am just now getting the Halloween photos up.
Grace was, duh, a clown...pretty obvious.
Tommy was Tiger Woods. Not as obvious. Apparently, my family has an above-average interest in golf. We all know that every Sunday Tiger wears a red shirt and black pants...his "Sunday Red."
I thought everyone knew that.
Nope.
We also assumed you people know that Tiger has won the Masters and that when you win the Masters, you get an ugly green blazer. Again, apparently not common knowledge outside the Halterhome.
We had a lot of 'splaining to do. Here are the Clown and Tiger.

Here are "the Graces" (aka Grace R. and Grace H.) as a nerd and a clown.

Here are the boys...not nearly as cute as the Graces.

Bret as Swine Flu, Tiger, Matt as V for Vendetta (huh??) and Tony as The Scream.

Here I am with my girls.

I went as a cow girl...I had boots on too but you can't see that.

And here I am with my cowboy.

These three lovely sisters hosted the fun block party. Really, they are sisters in real life.

Karen, Peggy & Donna

At the fabulous block party, I spied this BIG guy.

It was one of those GINORMOUS pumpkins from our local Safeway!!

(You can tell it's size by looking at the jar of hand sanitizer and child behind it.)

As you may or may not know, I coveted these things from the first of October when Safeway got them in. But, seriously, who is going to spend $80 on a pumpkin??

Then they slowly got marked down...to about $30.

Hmmm.

I considered one at that low-ish price. But where would I put it??

I ended up passing on the big pumpkin.

Maybe next year.

Here are some "famous" friends from the block party:

Sigfried (or is it Roy?) and his lovely assistant
