Our 11-year-old is going as a Ghostbuster. Somehow, my wife found a tan jump suit at Goodwill that fit her. She pretty much made the costume herself. I've been doing the more important stuff like making sure she carries some ectoplasmic residue (green jello) and working with her on quotes, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Nice shootin' Tex".
Cam Newton dressed up like Jim Carrey in The Mask in his press conference yesterday. Either that or a pimp.
I agree. Most kids aren't really teenagers until they're about 15 if that makes any sense.I'm glad for her - and going out with her sister...bonus!
I'm thinking more about the 15, 16, 17 year olds when I'm talking about teenagers - more of the high school types.
That being said, I wouldn't be too upset if my 15-year-old went trick or treating simply because I know she wouldn't cause any trouble. When the other two are 15, I might have a different opinion.
I'll have you know I got a lot of positive feedback for my sexy Kirk Ferentz costume, thank you very much.
I don't know any quotes from the new one...but my favorite from the old one is "Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god, YOU SAY YES!!!"
I'll be impressed if she goes with, "It's true, this man has no ****."
It's only a matter of time until my eldest decides he's "too old" to go out on Halloween. Since he's so "mature". He might stick it out a few extra years to go with his baby brother though. Grady we might have to make him stop trick or treating. I mean, free candy, for a lame joke? That's a good deal.
Tonight is trick or Treat night but I noticed some kid running around the neighborhood yesterday in a halloween root suit. Something like this. I was riding the motorcycle by him and he was just standing there trying to act all scary LOL
I sure hope she doesn't but she's got such a quick wit I wouldn't put it past her. Also, she will be grounded if she says it.
That's one where you high five her, say "Good one.", then say "Oh, and you're grounded."
maybe we should have done that. I won't be home until the last 30 minutes of trick or treat time tonight but didn't know if I should leave the bowl outside.
Our oldest is all about the candy. She prefers not to go with friends, because they just slow her down. Two years ago she went with friends and they were too slow for her, they were cold and had to go back home and put more layers on (ours was dressed warm from the beginning), or they would come across other groups of friends and get sidetracked. Ever since she was about 4 she has been all serious business--get candy.
Hubby was a Ghostbuster back in the 80's.

Yeah. You'll get some jackass kids that take MORE than one piece, but usually it works out and most kids have their parents with them. Just don't put a HUGE bowl out. Save some for when you get home too so you can refill before the night is over.
My best friends from college have a boy with special needs. He's in a motorized wheel chair and this year he had a great idea. He was Slimer, from Ghostbusters, and they turned his wheel chair into the ECTO1. His twin brother was Venkman and his older brother was the Stay Puft Marshmallow man.
While at a Halloween event earlier this week Slimer saw a kid in a hotdog outfit. He started screaming HOTDOG and chased the little kid around making noises like Slimer. The kid had no idea what was going on and was genuinely afraid.
Yeah, but back then that piece of gum was still fresh!
