Willets Point Oct 30 2008 08:32 PM

No, but my son is dressing as a pirate.

Arrr, the wee bucco!

metsguyinmichigan Oct 30 2008 08:43 PM

No, thought m co-workers might say I dress poorly every day!

I have always hated this holiday. It's confusing to kids: "Don't take candy from strangers, except on 31 October, when you can have anything anyone offers." It's extortionate. It ran counter to my family's blue-collar machismo of never accepting handouts. It's an excuse for violence.. Maybe the 'burbs got tp'd houses and egg splatter, we had flour socks loaded with cue balls and busted windshields. My daughters are cute in thier costumes, though!

I have always loved Halloween. Free chocolate. 'Nuff said. I have a little Halloween headband to wear tomorrow. That's the extent of the dressing up I plan on doing.

We did the 'weenie thing dressed as the Baseball Furies from the Warriors. All good parents dress 2-year-olds as a face-painted gangbangers.

I'm a Halloween scrooge.

Lorcan went to Day Care in a Zebra costume , looked very cool. Pictures to come.

For work, i dress up as someone who gives a shit. Its the same costume i wear every day. for after work today, i'll do my usual "Al Borland"... flannel shirt, carpenter jeans, toolbelt, and a name tag that says: "you can call me Al". I get to walk around with a hammer and demand candy. I love this holiday.

Edgy DC Oct 31 2008 09:16 AM

Funny, I'm going as Toby Borland.

Willets Point Oct 31 2008 11:38 AM

I look forward to the zebra pictures. Here's my little pirate.

Well this isn't going to compete with the above but:

WOW , those are great pictures , great costume and Peter looks like he's enjoying it.

="John Cougar Lunchbucket"]Well this isn't going to compete with the above but: That's great , were you at a parade?

Edgy DC Oct 31 2008 11:53 AM

Every day is a parade with the Lunchbuckets, standing in the street like that and all. Apparently, the judges awarded them a million points that day.

Benjamin Grimm Oct 31 2008 11:56 AM

If he was at the Phillies parade, we'll have to get out our pitchtorches and forks.

Lorcan with his Day Care girls..... Lorcan with his cousins Lorcan beat from the day

themetfairy Oct 31 2008 07:47 PM

Very cute :) And I forgot to mention it earlier, but Willets' little pirate and Junior Bucket are also adorable.

cooby Nov 01 2008 02:39 PM

How did all these little sweeties enjoy trick or treating?

Scene: Target, early last month. Me: Okay, buddy, which costume do you want this year? MiniWolf (points to Scooby Doo costume): Dooby dooby doo! Me (checking the $50 price tag): How about something else? MiniWolf (points to Abby Cadabby costume): Abby! Me: How about something slightly more gender-appropriate? MiniWolf: Elmo! Me (checks $20 price tag): Done! Exeunt.

The Elmo image isn't coming through. metsguyinmichigan wrote: Next year, I'm trick-or-treating with Lorcan! I think the rest of us didn't want to say anything, lest they turn out to be teenagers or something.

Eggzelent. I always wonder about people crying about the end of Sesame Street when there's a threat to the public television budget. Doesn't Children's Televison Workshop have the most enduring merchandise licenses out there?

themetfairy Nov 01 2008 03:29 PM

Adorable - I bet MiniWolf cleaned up yesterday :)

metirish Nov 01 2008 03:29 PM

Those two girls are in their twenties , the second one has a kid herself. I should say they are both wonderful and our son likes them a lot.

Edgy DC Nov 01 2008 03:40 PM

]I bet MiniWolf cleaned up yesterday :) Peanut, also.

cooby Nov 01 2008 04:16 PM

Heh, I was wondering if you guys had all suddenly gone blind! Those ladies are gorgeous! (they look like they really like Lorcan a lot too!)
