Halloween costumes 2010 - enjoy!

Doris and the kids, sans Natalie who was at homecoming.

Ginger's Mario ensemble - she was bummed, her hat and overalls didn't come in the mail on time, but I don't know about you... I'm lovin' the 'stache!

Ang the Avatar, Katara, Betsy Ross and Benjamin Franklin

Characters from How To Train your Dragon - all made by Ginger, amazing!!

Matt's Mummy costume - Step 1: Find an old sheet and rip it into varying lengths and widths

Step 2: Attempt to get anything done with Rocco around. He thought it was a great idea to lay on the sheet as we tried to rip it. He also enjoys doing this when we try to make the bed.

Step 3: Get really tired and cuddle a lot

Step 4: Dye the ripped sheets stained with your office's old coffee, allow it to dry - but Rocco will probably want to lay on it.

Step 5: Hot glue your ripped strips onto a pair of old long johns. Behold - Matt's mummy pants. We did the same for the top.

Step 6: Use paper towels dyed in old coffee, crumble them, and adhere them to your face with a glue made of corn syrup and flour. This was the trial run.

Step 7: Genuinely look creepy

Step 8: Wrap dyed cheesecloth around your head and neck

Step 9: Paint your finger and toe nails black, and spray paint your hands and feet green

Voila! A Mummy

Step 1: Purchase a black Cleopatraesque wig, decide how you'd like your headpiece to look, and look slightly dazed.

Step 2: Use your Halloween Decorations to mount your wig on in order to create your headpiece - because really, who has one of those foam heads.

Step 3: Find a child's cobra toy, spray paint it gold, make a head band from a ribbon and attach both the cobra and gold chains to it.

Step 4: Wear your sweet African necklace that Christine bought you at a flea market in Santa Fe, put on a formal dress, wrap a gold rope around your waist, wear your gold cobra arm band and big gold earrings... and call it a day.

Walk Like an Egyptian

The fam

Thought this was funny - At Doris and Mickey's house we hold hands to say the prayer, and Doris didn't put down her bloody knife. Without saying anything we both held onto the knife for the entire prayer and thought it seemed completely normal.

As I went to partake of this homemade rootbeer, I noticed a dead spider in my cup. How Halloween is that?
