hallowe’ened

Another lovely October has gone, ending with the usual fun and frivolity. Was a productive, busy weekend, even though I didn’t actually do any dressing up or going out myself. Fangs were created, faces were painted, costumes were donned, pumpkins were carved, far too many shellout treats were purchased, music was heard, pumpkin seeds were roasted, & even zucchini loaf was made, courtesy of the mister.

Some highlights:

The daughter's vampy makeup because she, like every other Twilight-obsessed tween on the planet, went out as a vampire.

Like, all of her friends went as vampires. The dog would have gone as a vampire if they had their druthers.

Yes, the numbers do go all the way around to display 3.14159.

The uber-nerd punkin (ah! somebody stop me!) my co-writer and I created for the carving contest at our workplace. A disappointing number of trick or treaters got it.

Lovely ladies all ready to hit the town.

My friends the vampire daugher, the dead pixie, and Sheila Dundee.

And there you go. Hallowe’en was had.
