Halloween Fun

Kids, grandkids, urchins from the neighborhood. Post photos and reports on costumes here.

Weetar's going as Batgirl. Tried to get a picture this morning (trick or treat parade at daycare) but she was too weepy about the headband. We're trick or treating in Bayside this year. I never got myself a costume but I realized there's no way I could go in anything other than my Wright jersey and hat anyway.

MMYF is making a Wonder Woman costume for the grandkids' party. I'll be working. Since there are a lot of MFY fans in my neighborhood, I looked for a Sweeny Murti mask, but couldn't find one. If I can find a Bobby Jindal mask, I'll get it and darken in the eyes. In case you haven't seen him, Murti looks like a Zombie Bobby Jindal. Talk about a face for radio. Sheesh. If I can't find one then its no costume for me. Later

If they're anything like the ones in my family, little little ones HATE headgear. Mine, at last night's PTA Halloween Party/Kids Running Around Clotheslining Other KidsFest: L-to-R: YoungerPooper, best friend Sophia Hudson (as young Obi Wan), YP And, for your viewing enjoyment, second-grader Harry, for the 4-wins-out-of-5:

If I had million dollars, I'd give it all to Harry.

Great Mr. Met! I want to know how that Mr. Met head was made. I've tried and its quite an undertaking.

cooby Oct 30 2015 09:11 AM Re: Halloween Fun

Gotta be papermache. Otherwise it'd weigh a ton. Maybe around one of those enormous yard balls you can buy now. My neighbor has one with a face on it that they always strategically place so it's looking at me. I gotta yell at Ray for that sometime. BTW, I would love to share my grandkids' pics but that Google datacatcher thing scares the shit out of me. I don't feel this place is private anymore cos of that. That's why I took my picture off the other thread. Just saying.

cooby Oct 30 2015 09:20 AM Re: Halloween Fun

I could send you my neighbors ball...

soupcan Oct 30 2015 09:20 AM Re: Halloween Fun

How do you know he only has one...?

cooby Oct 30 2015 09:22 AM Re: Halloween Fun

Oh har, har! Actually you'd have your choice of the one with the face or a Disney Princess one.

soupcan Oct 30 2015 09:24 AM Re: Halloween Fun

Thanks but I've already got my costume for this year all set, maybe next year though.

cooby Oct 30 2015 09:26 AM Re: Halloween Fun

A soupcan, no doubt... After yesterday's wind those balls are probably halfway to your house anyway. Along with my garbage can lid. Have fun! :D

John Cougar Lunchbucket Oct 30 2015 09:31 AM Re: Halloween Fun

I'm gonna try to pull this one off but prolly not. Lunchpail insisted on some lame store bought costume of a video game character in a game he doesn;t event play.

cooby wrote: A soupcan, no doubt... Nope.. Unoriginal I know but quite inexpensive as all I had to purchase was the wig. I'll trim it a bit before the party.

Benjamin Grimm Oct 30 2015 09:41 AM Re: Halloween Fun

Every year I think to do this, but never have. I want to buy one of those five-pound Hershey bars (they cost about $45) and pick one kid to give it to. Let's say there are four kids at the door. I'd have three pieces of candy in my hand and one kid would be left without. I'd say, oops, I need one more. Do you like chocolate? And if the kid says yes, I'd pull out the five-pound bar and give it to him or her. I'd only do this for a little kid (around five years old) who's with his or her parents so that the kid wouldn't be stuck hauling around the giant candy bar.

cooby Oct 30 2015 09:43 AM Re: Halloween Fun

soupcan, I'm your mom! BG, that is a sweet thing!

We'll miss Halloween this year - we have a baseball game to attend. But my middle guy (who is not a baseball fan) will be home to hand out candy to the little ones. Let's Go Mets!

minimm is going tomorrow as thor - the avenger, not the pitcher. the µmm's will be superman (L) and batman (R). i was originally thinking that µmmL should go as hulk, but i couldn't think of a good pairing for µmmR to be. µmmL has a bit of a temper, and he can go all hulk-smash when he gets angry. he's also friggin' huge and strong and unruly and whatnot -a force of friggin' nature! and so of course, today, it finally dawns on me (bonk - coulda had a v-8) that mild-mannered, little µmmR would be perfect as bruce banner. gaaaahhhh!!!!!! oh well. there's always next year. µmmL also has perfect luke-skywalker-on-tatooine hair, so there's always that... me, i'm going to continue my string of supremely low-effort costumes. in the past, i wear a dress shirt over a superman t-shirt - instant clark kent! this year, i'll be wearing one of those little circular LED touch lights under my shirt - BAM! tony stark!

Does the wig store have a Jacob deGrom section?

Awesome . I particularly like the away jerseys. I just realized I don't own one a those. My brother carved this. More awesomeness. [fimg=400:3csxhxb7]https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-i0rz6aGSe68/VjVQqOWGVPI/AAAAAAAAiwk/TdL3jvqMecg/s640-Ic42/Img_2329.jpg[/fimg:3csxhxb7]

Cool pumpkin! Nice locks on soup and Lunch.

cooby Oct 31 2015 08:02 PM Re: Halloween Fun

Agreed. We handed out a bunch of stuff, hoping desperately that we'd run out before 8. Today's my husband's birthday so he did the honors. One kid in a Steelers uni was rubbing his leg so I called him Ben Rothlisberger. He just laughed

This creepy Michael Myers kid didn't want no candy. He just hung around my corner following little kids really slowly, standing and staring at people, playing the Halloween theme out of the speaker under his clothing. Always with the staring. Here he is on my lawn. [fimg=500:1hfy3vpe]https://metsinpeace.files.wordpress.com/2015/11/myers.jpg[/fimg:1hfy3vpe]
