The One and Only ... Halloween

Halloween is great. Joel's school has a costume contest, my department dresses up every year, we have loads of trick-or-treaters, and Joel and I eat curry and watch a scary movie (or Ghostbusters). Of course, we carved a pumpkin:
We even get Finn in on the action:Well, this year, Joel dressed as a rock star...
And won! Look at how happy he is! (You can read more on his blog about this)
This year, I dressed up as a Tae Kwon Do master - complete with nanchakus ...
And was the only one in my department to do so. Everyone else "dressed up" in Georgia colors for the GA/FL game this weekend ... Thanks, guys!

My parents had a fun evening, though. My mom sent my dad out to get a movie to watch. Dad was in the mood for a classic, "like War and Peace or Gone With the Wind," he told my mom. When Hasting's didn't rent Gone With the Wind, and my mom nixed War and Peace, my dad came back with the next reasonable Halloween classic:
They never saw the first one, but they highly recommend this "new Halloween classic"! I could not stop laughing! Only my dad!

That's a killer story about your parents. Mine rent a video about once every other month and every time (and I mean every time) they do they call me asking for suggestions.

P.S. love the costumes!

Thanks for letting us crash your party :) Elena loves her Finn visits.

It must've been a scary Halloween because Finn looks terrified.

I can't get over how believable your costumes are! But I'm curious about the curry tradition. Why Halloween? Why not every day?

Wow...I clicked on your pic to enlarge, and the fire in your eyes tops off that picture. You're one vicious martial artist.
