Despite my lack of posts over the past few years, one constant is my annual tradition of posting about our Halloween. That's more than a little odd, since we are devout followers of Christ, and this is a Christian blog. But we shun its satanic undertones, and instead use it as an opportunity to dress up (which we love doing, anyway) and host like-minded friends and family at our house.
We usually do something creative with our pumpkins, and I often go the extra mile to turn mine into a piece of art. Unfortunately, we were totally uninspired last year (yeah, I'm actually a whole year behind!). We had decided to just put them out as-is and try to come up with something cool for next year. But while I was at work, my wife and son decided that really wouldn't do, so they stuck faces onto the pumpkins, for a comical effect.
We also could not decide what costumes to wear. Kylen wanted something with lots of weapons, while Farrah was torn between Lord of the Rings and Legend of Zelda characters. She wanted us all to match, but she also wanted our son to be happy with the choice. In the end, he opted for being a ninja... FOR THE THIRD YEAR IN A ROW!!!! Ugh! What's the matter with the boy??? So we caved. Farrah got a ninja outfit that matched his.
I combined my Wraith King of Agmar robe with my Street Fighter pants from 2011, and custom-made wooden sandals, to become a fearsome samurai. The bulk of my costume work was sewing together a sache and making the sandals, which were surprisingly comfortable.
So, what did we do THIS year??? Check out my wife's latest posts!
