So yesterday was the first trick or treat for Boo. He was dressed as a Monkey. He is fascinated with Curious George and this costume had a banana in the pocket and was perfect for him. When we got to my office for him to trick or treat he was unsure and would only take on candy. He was very polite, however when he realized the point was as much candy he would take one from EVERYTHING! It was funny to watch and he came home with about 3 or 4 pounds of sweets.
G went as an executioner. A simple costume but he decided he could not stand the hood, so he looked like a defrocked choir boy with an axe. Braiden was a werewolf and when he wore the mask up on his head instead of over his face he had Einstein hair. Liam had a cool skull mask and went as Death. He was the embodiment of death for Terri Pratchett, I loved it. Izzy was a lady bug.
We did a trick or treat run at my office and I was a catholic priest with a skull in my arms, essentially old scoil and no one expected the Spanish inquisition! I had fun and my sexy wife was a devilish imp, or my housekeeper if you wanted to flip the priest gig modern day.
We did trick or treat to the doors here in the neighborhood, and one of the neighbors designs a haunted house each year. So we went through that as well. He must have thousands tied up in this thing and it was fun. He had a number of animatronic things which were hideous and quite rightly so.
So as a dad some of the costumes concerned me. For the age and the costumes some of the girls were so inappropriately dressed. Some where cheerleaders and little was left to determine what the pom poms were. There was a french maid and it was so not cool for a 15 – 16 year old girl. She was with an innocent milk maid, and her outfit was so also not right for her age. They looked like left over from a porn shoot! if you had taken a picture of them you could be arrested for child porn it was that bad.
When I was at home we had some trick or treaters and once again more girls dressed in a form where I could only cringe. One girl said she was a librarian, however I could see he lower bikini line of skin as she pranced around. So another one where you think thank god I am not her father!
All in all it was a good night and we had wayyyyyy too much sweets!
