Halloween


Halloween was a blast!! I dressed up as a freaky WITCH -- I know that's a stretch.... Leah was a darling li'l cowgirl, and Marshall was a villainous Power Ranger. We did wait for it to get a little bit dark before heading out. Surprisingly, Marshall outlasted Leah on the treat trek.
Lindsey dressed up as a Baby. Oh, she was sooooo cute. She went trick-or-treating with a group of her friends.
Meg also went out with her friends dressed as a Gangster. Here's a glimpse into our pre-Gangster conversation:
Meg: What should I wear?
Mom: Wear this NHL jersey with baggy jeans.
Meg: That's not what a gangster wears!
Mom: What are you talking about? NHL jersey? Hello! You're sporting your "colors," tough, baggy, and wear this bandanna ...... like this....
Meg: That's dumb. That's not what gangsters look like!
Mom: Uh huh. What do you want to wear?
Meg: Something "gangster"-like.
Mom: ????
Meg: Like, a shirt buttoned up all the way.
Mom: (buttoned up????)
Meg: Like, COOL baggy jeans.
In the end, we got her pretty gangster-looking, HOWEVER, we learned later that she went to her friend's house & PAINTED HER FACE BLACK, and THEN went trick-or-treating. HELLO!?! Did she even think for one moment how politically incorrect that was? Ugh. I wonder where she learned that, anyway.

HAHAHA- Mel that is the funniest thing EVER! She painted her face black! haha. And what was with the buttoned up shirt? She clearly hasn't seen a real gangster. Come to Dallas and you'll see plenty of those in the ghetto parts here. Did you take pictures of her- i wanna see them! :) Marsh and Leah look so cute.. and nice GREEEEEN face! Wow- you went all out. I don't even remember the last time i dressed up for halloween. Boring I know... oh well- next year i'll have to be creative.
Im so glad you have your own blog now!! We need to get Leslie & Candace doin it too. So fun!!
