Halloweening

 Happy Halloween from Teddy Roosevelt, his pet zebra (yes!  He really had one!) and his prize hunting mounts...

I've been told by my middle son that this may be Judah's last year dressing up.  

Which means he is becoming a boring old person.  ;-)

Regardless of what happens next year, I am glad that he was a good sport this year.  Our theme wouldn't have worked without him.

He nailed Roosevelt too, didn't he?!

If Teddy looks a bit quizzical here, it is because he was being blinded by prescription glasses from Salvation Army whose lenses I could not pop out with breaking them.  

Ah... but wait!  He sees something!!!

His ferocious kill:

Moses didn't really understand that he was a wall mount and not actually a living, hissing, ferocious cheetah.

Apparently, I didn't understand either.  Pretty sure wall mounts don't smile...

I didn't have to spend more than $2.00 on glasses for Judah.   I *did* spend more than that because I bought felt and brown paint on Friday because I was uptown and couldn't remember what colors I had at home.  (And yes, I had them already,  sooooo.... that was frustrating.)

Oh- and I bought black hairspray for Ineke.

But I didn't sew a single thing and the grand total was less than a fancy coffee.

  Easiest year ever!!!

In my opinion, the age old debate about Christians celebrating Halloween or trick-or-treating doesn't apply to us at all. 

Because this is what Halloween looks like for us...

Visiting and bringing joy and laughter to a handful of special "old people" living nearby is just about where it's at.
