Decorations

Halloween08

Why are Halloween decoration so much cooler than Christmas decorations? Maybe cause we like skulls better than fat guys in red suits? Anyway, the kids and I have had fun putting stuff out this year, posing the bones and buying some more cool stuff for our collection. Regan decided to be a pirate (not just any pirate, but this specific pirate) and Riley is still undecided, although he alternates between something that requires a gun which mom and dad have vetoed, and something that requires a chainsaw, also vetoed (we're such downers). How I miss the days of Riley dressing up as Bob the Builder and Spiderman, now he wants to be Leatherface.

But, I did tell him that maybe dad could hide in the bushes with the chainsaw for when all those teenagers that are "too cool" to dress up, but not too cool for free candy come ring our doorbell at 10:00 at night, what a fun shock that would be to have dad start up the chainsaw then!! But, mom and dad probably wouldn't take kindly to us scaring their little snowflakes.
