Trick-or-Treat kinda blew. The temperature dropped quickly around 7:00, and the already small neighborhood child population scurried inside. We've still got two or three pounds of Fun Size left.

Wait. That's not bad. Never mind.

Will the Lawn Guy and his wife brought over their baby, Griffin. All the other H'ween babies were peapods, pumpkins, chili peppers, etc. You know, the Anne Geddes thing.* Griffin was a squid. With big stuffed tentacles and a pointy spotted head. You'd try to pick him up and get a fake limb instead of a real one. He looked like mutated Y2K Stewie.

I tried to teach him to say "Victory is mine," but he wasn't having it.

ETA:

Here is the costume. But Griffin's had feetsies.

That's it. My firstborn is so going to be a squid for Halloween.

Or maybe I'll just dress him up as a squid ALL THE TIME. But then he'd probably grow up plotting to kill me.

We got exactly 23 kiddies, which I know because we handed out glow-in-the-dark wristbands and we had exactly 23 of them to give. They were even more popular than the candy was. I love hearing kids yell, "Lookit! Lookit!" when they get a bracelet and want to show it to their mom.

For some reason, we got a lot of Dorothys at the door, complete with gingham dresses and shiny red shoes (so, movie Dorothy, not book Dorothy, as her shoes were silver.)

They named their kid Griffin? What a cool name!

I knew a couple with a kid named Morrigan. They were kind of horrified when I mentioned the whole "goddess of death" thing... they thought they'd invented the name. Y'know, google can solve so many problems.

*snicker* I kinda knew that. Personally, I'd like to see her pose all those babies in peapods and other vegitable like costumes in a soup pot....complete with a lit burner underneath.

And for something completely different, check out

fsmism for Halloween appearances of his Noodlyness.

I'm gonna have to remember that if I should decide to spawn at some point.

*emits glass-shattering squeeeeee*

Squid kids!

*dies*

So cute! Where do the pictures come from?

It seems like nobody had a good crop of trick-or-treaters this year. I have a bowful of Laffy Taffy just *sitting* here waiting to be eaten, and my teeth aren't up to the challenge. I'm afraid I'll lose fillings eating that stuff.
