Halloween Ontario
What a night. I had finally decided to do a vampire theme for Halloween. In the last two weeks I have dragged family and friends out to the usual Halloween stores looking for bits and pieces of ghoulish items. The Value Village is always a good place to find cheap clothing and they do carry a cheap line of Halloween costumes. We found a cheesy batman cape that we used for one of our vampires but missed out on picking up black-feathered wings. We worked from morning till dusk and still weren’t quite finished when the first trick and treaters were tapping on our door. It was an unusually mild night and we had only between 150 to 160 kids come by. Tomorrow is the real horror as the task of putting all the props away begins.

And never underestimate your local princesses, there were 5 (Two of whom their mother told me that they just lived on the corner and that I am welcome to come by anytime and visit.)
As for me and the boy, we finally got to do the Mork and Mindy costumes…..next year, possibly Starsky and Hutch or Luke and Leia, we’ll see. On that note (the Luke and Leia one that is) I think I need to go and purchase a certain DVD that is finally out today.
