halloween pix from glenview and the oakland hills
Kenny's Aunt Carol sent over some great pix of his cousin Adam at Halloween dressed up as a sushi chef...I mean, samurai warrior.
Overboard and I did a fantastic job of stalling on getting Kenny a good costume*, so we were forced to go with the last minute "My parent's obviously don't love me since they call this a costume" costume. Overboard cut up a pillow case to make a toga, took some leaves from the fake ficus, and we called him "Caesar." Yeah, it wasn't pretty. Overboard took Kenny "in costume" to a Glenview parents gathering and all of the dads that were there thought he was supposed to be Bluto from "Animal House."
Great Grandpa Jesse was in town for Halloween, and helped us hand out candy to the few kids who stopped by. I'm not exactly sure why we didn't get that many trick or treaters, but the ones that did come by made out like bandits. In lieu of having pounds of extra candy, we gave out enormous handfuls to the lucky tykes.
AJ and Victoria (and AJ's mom) brought Ava over, and though our depleted camera battery kept us from taking any pictures, Victoria did take a few of us that she passed along.
The leftover candy eventually made its way to my office, where we still have a giant candy bowl located near my desk that has slowly become stagnant, due to the "good stuff" already being picked out of it.
*Speaking of good Halloween intentions thwarted by procrastination, our pumpkin had a design sketched on it for us to then carve out, but we didn't so much get that far. Thus, our porch pumpkin was un-carved, and somewhat resembled an aborted "paint by numbers" kit. I'm wondering if they're going to revoke our suburban citizenship...
