Halloween Photos

Now that Thanksgiving is just around the corner, I am finally getting a chance to post photos from the last holiday - Halloween! Everyone probably knows by now that this is Emily's favorite holiday. She had two costumes this year. School has strict rules about costumes - no weapons (including fake), no masks or face coverings, nothing gory, bloody, scary, or gruesome, nothing inflatable, and nothing without sufficient body coverage. With all these constraints, she had to have both her school-appropriate costume and her real costume. The school-appropriate costume was Regina George from Mean Girls.

For those who may not have seen the movie, here is the actual character.

Her real costume was a killer bride costume. It was easy to buy the dress, knife, and veil, and then she splattered the fake blood herself.

She and her friends did some trick-or-treating and then watched a movie as planned. I think they had a good time, but she was surprised by how few kids were out trick-or-treating. She assumed that they all went to the football game instead, but then I heard from people at the game that there weren't many kids there either, so who knows.

As for Thanksgiving, it won't be much of a holiday for Emily. She is scheduled to have oral surgery on Tuesday to expose a tooth that needs a little help getting with the program. I envision numerous smoothies and milkshakes in our future!
