[AWOL]

Me and my family already had our Halloween party. We had a head-count of 58 people who attended! It was a freaking BLAST!

Here's a pic of me and my wife. I'm a convict, and she's an 80's girl.

Nice. I've been to one (of two) party so far this year. Went as a monkey (not a far stretch). I'll have to see if anyone snapped some pics, ones that are suitable to post of course

Not JUST ANY convict, I see, but Charlie Manson!!!

lol! The Charlie Manson idea came as an afterthought! FYI - that is a real standard-issued county jail jumpsuit!!! Not mine, of course! There was a pile of extras in the basement of one of our jails that ended up relocating to a new facility, and since they weren't being used, I just figured Hell Why Not? So I snatched one up! (and gave it a good washing!!!!)

Well LadyB had planned for some while to go with her Jedi outfit and make a similar one from the scraps for our daughter, so she could be her padawan. We had a little stuffed R2 she likes and so that got pinned to her belt and I had a little f/x box that made R2 sounds which she enjoyed throughout the night. Ian opted for Optimus Prime and I helped to make his shoulders and stuff. I was unsure what I was going to do until I remembered that I had a JarJar mask bought a while back at a dollar store, and with one of LadyB's cloaks I became, Darth Jar Jar.



We went to the mall and trick or treated around the neighborhood with people we knew. It was fun.

I was a working man, I did a free event with my lasertag system for the kids at my churches' Halloween party and also for people walking by. I was hoping to pass out a bunch of business cards, but mostly it was just kids in the church.



Hmm, that kind of looks like an Attacktix shirt.

This was actually a different event, but you get the idea.

Hey I.D. is that a lightsaber you're holding or are you just THAT excited to go trick or treating? LOL!

[ionicdesign]

Just a lightsaber, a little rotoscoping, but just a saber. We'd already been trick or treating when I took the photos.

What that?! Wait one min. I.D. I think we have some kind of trade mark infringement going on!
I'll be expecting some halloween candy in the mail A.S.A.P., I like peanut-butter cups
Nice costumes guys

Alas no infringement was intended, just to make my costume funner for the kids (and as my son couldn't stop laughing I think it worked. ). Had we know we'd have forwarded the Reese's to you straight wise as my son and I are allergic to peanuts.

I did think of you after doing it though, and props to you for the concept

I didn't dress up, put here is a picture of the rest of the Cona Chris Faction:

edited - I got the picture to be bigger - my wife had to show me!



Jade wouldn't take the candy from the neighbors (which I guess is a good thing in the end) but my wife or I could take the candy and put it in her bag. Jade was Wonder Red from her favorite show (new PBS show) Super Why! My wife and Chase went as pumpkins.

Jade plans out what candy she will eat each day... her favorite so far seems to be Butterfingers, which she calls "yellow candy" and comments "it's crunchy!" as she eats it. Chase doesn't need candy since he already weighs close to 20 pounds (and he's not even 3 months old just yet!).

[ionicdesign]

Very cute My son likes Super Why too.

The reason it won't go bigger is because the picture on photobucket is that small.

Looks good, again very cute.

I went to a party, but no dress-ups Haha

[yyeeehhaaww]
