Halloween Stuff

Tyler was asking why I didn't put up some Halloween pictures since I didn't last year. So here they are. I decided as usual to get into the pumpkin carving and do Nemo and Sponge Bob Square Pants

I noticed in London Drugs that Dremel has a pumpkin carving kit out that you can buy that has a battery powered Dremel Tool and a cutting bit. This inspired me to try my Dremel tool this year, so I picked up a drywall cutting tool bit for my Dremel and tried that. What a difference from using the old hand saw! It took about 2 hours to carve both pumpkins this year when it took about 4 hours to carve the 4 pumpkins we had last year.

Of course I also went all out on the make up and decided to do a goth-punker sort of dude. Tyler went as Dracula and Marlee as Snow White, but wanted to fit in with the punker theme Dad was doing so opted for a purple wig for Snow White.

Marlee was a real trooper this year making it all the way around the trailer park without a hiccup. I was happy that the weather cooperated, and the kids ended up with massive load of candy and other goodies.

The only negative part about it is seeing some of the people shaking their heads at me dressed up. You know, I feel sorry for them, more so for their children because my kids thought I was the kewlest Dad on earth dressing up and I wouldn't trade that for a billion dollars. I mean some people just don't get it, and that is their loss.
