Halloween is a much revered holiday here at the Maxwell house. The promise of bags filled with sugar laced with Red Dye #8 and Blue Dye #4 is almost too much for little boys to handle. The costume choice is always serious business.
Seager's good friend Carter, his sister Audrey and Mom, Shauna invited us to go to Boo at the Zoo. We happily accepted, donned our spooky shirts and set out. We had a great day, the animals were very visible and we got some great pictures. 
Decisions, decisions. Seager wanted to be his favorite Poptropica character...
then he saw this at the Halloween store...
It's $35.00. Not going to happen. Good thing Mommy is creative and can sew... introducing Spooky Seager Jester...close enough, I say!
Then we have Dagon. He wants to be a police officer...once again...$25.00. Not. A fellow homeschooler loaned us the hat, I was able to purchase the rest (clothing to be used again!)
Introducing... Barney Fife!
Now, let's get some candy.
The weather gods, who have quite the comedic sense of timing, decided to ruin the most important night of the year, but that didn't stop us!!
It was miserable, but the rain didn't melt the smiles. 24 hours later, we enjoyed the most beautiful night with a big full moon and a crystal clear sky. Timing is everything. Unfortunately, you can't control the weather gods, and you can't change the calendar.
On a side note, I should have become a meteorologist. You can be wrong 100% of the time and they just let you keep trying...and you still get paid! Of course, our current government gets the same perks. That should scare the hell out of you. BOO! And, for the love of GOD, would someone please throw a bucket of water on that Witch Pelosi and melt her into oblivion! Thanks.
