Does this mean that you'll be going as the Cat in the Hat? ;D Or maybe that should be the Capt. in the Hat ;D

Save the Hershey bars for me, please ;)

My grandscallywags other grandparents have hooked them up with cheesy Target "Character " costumes. Some kind of super hero starwars power rangers made-in-China crapola. Whatever happened to the costumes that yer Ma ( or grandma--kudos to Brendaluwench!) made you? Or rubbing charcoal on your face, wearing your Dad's old clothes and going as a bum? Too much TV and too much commercialism! AAAAARRRRRRR!!! I'm breaking out my good old pirate regalia and going as myself!

glowing stuff to hang on you to keep from getting run over ... and there is trick or treating around
the square with merchants giving candy ,small toys and enticing parents in to shop...

we usually hit that then a neighborhood ...best year the kid had 40 pounds of loot between them ...
my grown sons got most of it and I stuffed candy jars all over school... I stole the Snickers and Dumdums ...
husband took Babe Ruths and bubble gum... girls had a couple pieces left by the time they had
their plunder plundered...

Oldest has a black faceless face mask and is wearing a black sweater and black jeans and black boots and carrying
a long sword...acording to her she is a black thing with a big sword ... (we need a confused smiley) she
wants to go trick or treat but is almost 11 and is thinking she is too old... I'm almost 47 and still go

Youngest was the scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz at the Book Character dress up day at school about
three weeks ago... I made her a hood so her head looked like a feed sack and made her face up...I sewed
some patches on a pair of brown pants and a green long sleeve shirt...tied her ankles ,wrist and neck with
twine(disclaimer...neck was not actually tied but looped most of the way around and tacked on to hood...
had a teacher almost freak thinking I tied a rope around her neck)...she won first in her grade ... she is
wearing that with vampire fangs added ... had to make him scary

I am wearing a Great Pumpkin T-shirt cause my little autistic buddy at school gave it to me ... we
always stick some kind of ears and tail on my husband (against his wishes) ... this year I guess he is gonna
get my eye patch and dagger...it would clash with my pumpkin shirt ...

Can't wait for Phyl's reaction ;D

Post by: lori67 on October 30, 2008, 12:26:33 pm: Aw, Steve, you stole my costume idea! Well, I guess we could ALL dress up as Phyl this year!

My kids know the routine - I will gladly take them trick or treating, but it will cost each one of them one peanut butter cup each. That's a small price to pay if you could see the size of the hills in my neighborhood!

This thread has gone off in a decidedly negative direction, at least from my point of view. I may have to do some moderating here, just to save myself! ;)

You are just too much but I have to say you do look like you could be Phyl's slightly less feminine sister! ;D I have to agree with her the upper lip and chin wax would do a lot for the costume. ;D

Happy Halloween everyone ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Post by: ppearl214 on October 31, 2008, 09:06:04 am: well, me thinks that since Steve-llis is going to dress as moi (ah, such an honor!) for Halloween.. and since we booked his facial and Brazilian waxing, why not continue to the leg wax? Yep, a hairless Steve-llis will then be my twue twin sista' :D

Post by: Captain Deb on November 04, 2008, 04:18:16 pm: Here's a pic of what Pop Love makes fer a true trick or treat breakfast for his grandscallywags and me!

(http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee60/Captdeb_photos/IMG_3027.jpg)

He made some pretty good ghosts, too!

And here's on of me and Thing 1 and Thing 2 on our way off to pillage and plunder the neighborhood!

(http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee60/Captdeb_photos/IMG_3023.jpg)

I started off with a really cool skull mask on, but it scared the pants offa the lil one and he made me take it off. Now the big one is obsessed with "Pirate Skeletons" and I told him a bedtime story about one who had a girlfriend who was a ghost and they lived on a deserted island. Next year he wants to be a pirate skeleton! Pop put the skull mask on all week-end and chased them around the yard and the woods with it on. We had a blast!

My life is so different without the dreadful headaches--three years ago I wouldn't have dreamed of a week-end like this. Thank you Neurontin and Topamax!!!!!!!! I still was pretty achey yesterday and today, but nothing like it could have been or used to be.

A Halloween weekend with the grandkids is now a huge event. My gratitude for small stuff like this is immeasurable!!!

Here's to hope for all of you out there suffering from headaches like I did--there is relief out there--it just takes time and persistance. Never give up!!!

Love ya!!

Post by: leapyrtwins on November 07, 2008, 06:26:52 am: Great costume, Capt Deb ;D I never would have recognized you with the black wig; very attractive.

Your grandkids are adorable :)

I'm so glad your headaches are gone - sounds like life is much better now. Kudos to you for being persistent and solving this problem; not a small accomplishment.

Post by: yardtick on November 10, 2008, 06:49:57 pm: What's not to love!!!! I loved having little boys, who are now BIG boys and I hope one day, after marriage, to have a grandaughter or two.

She is sweet. She is a girl after Capt Deb's heart I'm sure.
