Send In The Clowns

We had a wonderful Halloween.

This year we decided to send in the clowns.

And where are the clowns?
Quick, send in the clowns.
Don't bother - they're here.

Never Enough

Halloween was full-fledged event this year.

DJ Lance stopped by and almost blew Rio's mind.

She's still talking about how DJ Lance is going to come back.

Our friend Mike had better keep that costume handy

for the occasional appearance.

Rio was Storm from The X-Men. 

A super hero, of course. 

We can't go visit Uncle at the comic book shop any other way.

I decided I would make her costume myself to save a little dough.

I think I spent more than if I would have simply purchased the darn thing!

But it was a learning experience...

and at least I was domestic for once.

We went trick-or-treating at Grammy's house.

Grammy's was the only stop that really mattered.

Then we attended a halloween wedding being held at my brother's shop.

It was a DC theme (in the world of geeks, you're either Marvel or DC.)  

Our friends were The Flash and Black Mask. 

I was Black Canary and Mark was Green Arrow.

If you read comics, you'll totally get all of this.

If not, I look like a hooker and Mark looks like a homeless Veteran.

But it was fun.

Another halloween for the books!

Every Day Is Halloween

Rio and I just finished decorating for Halloween.

This is my favorite holiday.

I've spent the last couple of months desensitizing Rio to all things scary.

Witches are now super cool

ghosts are radical 

and pumpkins are where it's at!

I routinely hear, "Nook, Mom! A Piser! {Spider}"

My neighbor said our display was "a little dark, don't cha think?"

Last time I checked, it wasn't called Rainbows and Puppy Dogs Day.

Wait...that might actually be a fun holiday.

I'll write to my state representative...

see if we can get that baby on the books.

There's my baby girl playing with a snake.

It makes a mother proud {sniff, sniff}

Now we'll see if she'll sit on Santa's lap this year without screaming.

If he was a gargoyle, she might not have a problem.
