What is it about Halloween that brings out the skank in people? The mini skirts, the tube tops, the see-through-ness of it all...I mean, if this guy wasn't wearing his Sunday socks, he'd be showing a whole lot more than ankles in these festive "Twick or Tweet" (Tweedy Bird, of course) capris. Scandalous, am I right?
Every year, faithfully, my Mom puts together a Halloween package for each of her kids and grand kids. She likes to do it and we love to receive it. This was Skyler's first year of really being a true beneficiary of the goodness that is Halloween goody time. Most of what you see in this picture are from this year or years past. Thanks, Mom! Your past years efforts have basically adorned my little living room with Halloween fun, once again, this year.
Those carpi pants actually came with a shirt and was for me, but I thought it would be more fun to take a pick with Skyler all Halloweened out, am I right? Strut it! And you should know, that he refused to look at the camera during "the shoot" and would only look away. Blue Steel style, of 
course. Awesome.And, is this one of the scariest skull-spider shirts you've ever seen? Just as advertised, it does in fact GLOW IN THE DARK. SCARY, I tell you. Not for kids. That's why they make it in adult sizes only, I'm sure :) And once again with the sultry look-away from the camera. It's Halloween, after all, and I'm sure he's just going for extra mysterious. Mission Accomplished, Hun.
On the night of Halloween we went over to Skyler's parent's house to help pass out candy to the trick-or-treaters. It was a riot. Costumes included such classics as princess, nerd with the pulled high pants and an I VOTED sticker, puppy, lion, ghouley-ghosts, homemade costumes that aren't recognizable as anything, witch, vampire, football player, cheerleader, Harry Potter. It was entertaining and it felt a little like a mini surprise party for me every time the doorbell rang-- like my own little Halloween parade happening.
Much to Skyler's dismay and slight disgust, I wore all of this over
to his parent's house. Like they care. They don't. And neither did the kids who I answered the door for. So, it worked out. Look how happy those little spiders are on my socks (again, props to my mom for the pjs, socks, and slippers).And, Larry Bird made an apperance. Actually, he made a couple of apperances. I wore this over there and then Skyler's 16 year old brother borrowed it and wore it with his 12 year old sister's short soccer shorts, high socks, and Converse. Awesome.
Plus, this guy showed up, too...
And, really, if you could see how HUGE this Larry Bird hat is in real life, you'd be way more embarrassed to be carting him around town than me in my Halloween garb-- am I right? Regardless, we basically drove from one garage to another and made no real public appearances outside of family and candy getters who didn't even know that you were wearing clothes (I mean, I'm sure they'd notice if you weren't wearing clothes. I'm just saying, it's unlikely that they could even see past the huge candy bowl holding their winnings long enough to notice that you were wearing anything even moderately embarrassing or otherwise on such a day as this).So, there you go. The latest on us, Halloween, and love-filled Halloween givings from my parents.
More soon,
Melanie

I am so sad we missed out on Larry Bird, amazing pumpkin pants, and the mini parade! If we would have known we were missing a party we wouldn't have left town! You make my day, thanks for making me laugh so hard!
Skyler, I hope you know how lucky you are. I once was Melanie's roomate and got to share in the happiness of the Halloween package. Those were the days. I hope you appreciate the perk...the Hallween perk you married into. Good choice.
