Halloween

Well, our costumes this year were creative (I was "everything but the kitchen sink" and Chip was Q-bert...I know, random), but the executions were marginal. We were more proud of the many costumes Kessler wore (endured). She started out the evening as a princess, handing out candy to all the little girls and boys that stopped by our house (there were none- perhaps it was the locked gate we live behind that scared them off- I guess we will have eat all that candy).

It wasn't long after running into her uncle Josh, that he was trading costumes with her and she got to be a french fry (and Josh the princess). As you can see, Chip started trading costumes at this point too.
Costume number three was a pirate- she went from girly, to greasy, to greedy.

And finally, she was tired of all the costumes and sat at the door ready to go with her final costume on, Q-bert's conversation bubble- likely expressing her true feelings at this point.

I just couldn't leave this picture out.

No photos of "everything but the kitchen sink"? We were lame and didn't do costumes this year (well, short of ideas and too busy with conferences and other late nights at school to be creative). Actually Chris was out of town climbing so my incentive was further reduced. Finn and I still did get out to a party though. It looks like you had fun.

Love the halloween pictures. In the pet food industry we have a term that classifies your type of shopper... disturbed. Keep up the good work. It's a good thing you are a counselor because I know a dog who may needing some real soon.
