Halloween Photos 2009
In Des Moines Halloween is on the 30th. Don’t ask me why they do it on the 30th. It is stupid if you ask me. The good news is that the kids get two Halloweens. Terra is taking them down to Kansas City Saturday to trick or treat with friends. I am staying home to keep an eye on our 15th year old daughter who has a Halloween party.
The kids had fun despite the rain and cold here tonight. Terra sewed their costumes and did a great job. Ella’s dress was all Terra’s work. For Noah we picked up a blue shirt and bought a cap and US belt buckle. Terra put the insignias and gold buttons for Noah uniform. Ella was a vampire and Noah a zombie Union soldier. Noah and Ella both loved their makeup that I did for them. Noah’s was especially fun. I tried to make it look like a bullet entered his cheek and out his temple. Being a horror movie fan I wanted to be a Hollywood horror makeup artist when I was a kid. Maybe I missed my calling. Everyone thought it looked pretty awesome when he went around the neighborhood.
I have some video of them I will get online soon as well.

Awesome photos! With the gobs of candy we gave away to the kids this year, it really makes me wish I was young myself and able to run around the neighborhood with a pillow sack stuffed with candy!
I have been thinking the same thing for the past few Halloweens. I want to dress up! If I had any friends I might be able to hit a party and get a chance to dress up but no such luck. I would totally be a grossed out zombie with my face all deteriorated. If I did that and handed out candy I would scare the crap out of the kids! Hey, that might be a bad idea either!
