halloween update

Monday, November 1st, 2010

at the end of august,a complex idea was conceived. the monkey stated his halloween intentions in great detail, and a committee (comprised myself and the monkey) was formed to carry out the tasks at hand. feather boa… check. tie dyed union suit… check. homemade mask… check. facepaint… check. the result was one very happy “rainbow kitty cat,” and two parents who fell asleep last night knowing that we did the right thing by letting the monkey be the monkey.

we did, however, impose our own halloween ideations on the bird, who rocked the neighborhood as elvis (the rock star, not the webkinz mountain goat).

next year, the boys probably won’t even need costumes. they’ll just smile and reveal their rotted out teeth — a consequense of this halloween’s tootsie rolls and smarties. perhaps i should dress as a wicked dental hygienist. time to form a committee.
