Halloween 2013

This Halloween was my first as an only child! This year, instead of putting on an ordinary costume at the last minute because my whole family has been so busy helping my sisters make theirs, I spent four or five hours on my own costume. For Halloween this year I went to a party at my church for the kids who go to the youth group weekly. The idea was to dress up as a character from your favorite movie or TV show. So after finding out about it at the last minute I decided on dressing as Indiana Jones.
I already had the hat, shirt, boots and satchel. So I went shopping and bought brown pants, but I couldn’t find a good whip so I decided to make one. Problem is we couldn’t find anything to make a whip out of. Monday morning (the day of the party) I began work on a Gaffer’s tape whip.
It took about five hours to finish and you could argue that I wasted the whole day on it but I am proud of my first hand made Halloween costume. Sadly my bull whip was too realistic because everyone I talked to at the party thought it was real and were therefore less impressed than I was hoping they would be. I lost the contest to Snow White’s evil stepmother but the prize wasn’t that important.
Then on Halloween night we went out to Chipotle and had three dollar burrito bowls because we were in costume (dad had gone to work as the Farmer in the Dell so mom dressed as the farmer’s wife).
All in all it was a very interesting Halloween.
Arg Ye Matey, It Be Halloween!

Ahoy thar it be the Pirate kid this time. I’ve just returned from plundering Light Night’s candy and eaten some plus made up a song, it goes like this.
A rollicking band of pirates we
Who tired of tossing on the sea
Are trying our hand at a burglary
For all of Light Night’s candy
Can you guess what we were for Halloween?
That’s right, Pirates.
Apparently pirates were very popular because we met one in the parking lot wearing Ashley’s costume (with a gun) and his infant sibling had a wagon made into a pirate ship.
Then at the party there was another kid that was wearing her costume and a few more wearing pirate costumes.
There were lots of games and music, so you couldn’t hear anyone talking to you. Towards the end there was a costume contest, the winners for the 4th and 5th grade: in 1st place The broke businessman (AKA Conner Rose) in 2nd place The artist (AKA Kirsten Lindemulder) and in 3rd place The Texas chainsaw massacre (AKA I don’t know who) then after that you could play some more games, but while I was waiting in line for one of them a lady went running after a ping pong ball for the game and she clunked her head into mine. After that I had to sit with a bag of ice wrapped in Ashley’s sash so that I didn’t freeze my head. Then Amber went to get more candy.
