This Is The Most Boring Halloween Post, Ever.

Happy Halloween to all you ghost and goblins out there!

This is usually one of my more fun posts of the year but since I took an oath last month NOT to dress Leroy up this year it’s one of my most boring Halloween posts….EV-AR.

All I have is this witches hat.

Sitting alone.

On a chair.

Alone.

Sherman doesn’t usually do well being dressed so he’s not very much help to me and the kids are just being totally boring this year.

Bobby’s dressing up as Kevin Love. A basetball player from the Cavs. So scary and creative….NOT.

Gracie’s going as a minion which is cute but every other kid her age is also dressing up as minion. Normally Gracie does something fun….. like last year she was a zombie cheerleader. So cool.

This year, not so much.

Nobody’s cool this year and to top it off it’s suppose to snow tonight.

Yep. Coldest night of the season so far and I can’t even take the dogs with me trick or treating because Sherman’s has a thing about zombies and I’m afraid Leroy would just knock all the kids down and steal their candy.

Now all I have is this 3 year old picture of Leroy as a ghost.

Don’t get me wrong. I’ve thought long and hard about going back on my oath and dressing the dogs up.

I thought Leroy could go as a bag of bones or I could wrap him in bubble wrap and he could be a very important, but fragile, product.

Then I thought I could use Bobby’s Kevin Love jersey and do something like “All you need is LOVE.”

But then I remembered that Bobby is 13 and we’re at that critical stage in our relationship that if he knew I put his jersey on the dog he wouldn’t talk to me again until he was 30.

I really wanted Sherman to be a big fat pumpkin but I couldn’t find a costume big enough so then I was wondering how much cast padding it would take to make him a mummy. Then I wondered if any drug store would have enough on hand for me to do that.

The answer is no.

No local drug stores have enough cast padding in stock to make Sherman a mummy.

Then I thought we could do a group thing.

They boys could be squirrels and I could be a nut.

Get it.

2 squirrels and a nut.

Perfect.

Next year I want to be a nut..

So about you guys? Any big Halloween plans for you this weekend?

Oh dear - I feel your dog-dress-up pain! I decided to spare Oscar the indignity of a costume this year as well... my solution: spooky transformation via animated gif!

All things considered, I think BOTH of us were pleased with the way this holiday played out! :)

Cheers!

Hi Y'all!

Nobody, but nobody in our house ever sees a trick or treater. We live in very rural areas. No Halloween here.

Y'all come by now, Hawk aka BrownDog

I still like that old ghost picture! We didn't dress anyone up either.
