Halloween 08

Halloween is, for some reason, probably the second-most anticipated of Laurion holidays. For at least the past 5 years, we have really had fun with it.

Nicholas has been spiderman,

puss in boots,

anakin skywalker (photos lost in the great iMac failure of 2008)

a Ninja,

and this year, a Pirate (how awesome, Ninja then Pirate!)

Sam has been chewbacca,

a demon,

and a Pirate.

Before getting creative (or having kids) we have been the oft-loved Disco dude

& oft-loved Ho

Then we started getting serious as Hansel and Gretel,

last year she was strawberry shortcake (naughty) while I was half of the dick-in-the-box guys,

and this year we were Ward & June Cleaver, stereotypical 50's Parents.

This year after the standard trek through military housing* for the great candy haul, bekah and I agreed to go out, but weren't in that great of moods. Our costumes were pretty conservative, and not very comfortable, and reason to avoid the wildness and debauchery that is Waikiki on Halloween night.

*military housing is prime territory because 1) pretty much everybody has kids and 2) nobody hands out mochi (rice cracker "candy" popular with local kids) which is about as welcome as the dentist in your old neighborhood handing out toothpaste and floss.

Our moods changed when we saw another couple driving- a 20's Gangster and Flapper- but she was the Gangster and he was the Flapper... Idea! So we went home, swapped costumes, and the rest, as they say, is history.



A Halloween Miracle.
