Halloween 2021 Part 1

 

Oh! Halloween 2021, you did not disappoint!  We had way too much fun enjoying every Halloween tradition and amusing ourselves with multiple costumes for multiple occasions.  It's not that we don't have plenty of "real life" to occupy our time and thoughts.  It's more like someone has a great idea and then we all sort of get on board and get carried away.  We can't help ourselves and we don't even try to:)

The festivities began last weekend with the older kids' annual Halloween party.  Faith was the inspiration for this group costume when she decided to be Rex (Rex Kwon Do) from Napoleon Dynamite.  Which of course led to Cannon recreating Napoleon-- which led to George channeling Kip, Peter nailing Uncle Rico, Greta as the cutest little Deb ever, and lastly Clark wanting in on the action with a hilarious Pedro.

"What are you going to do today, Napoleon?"

"What I feel like I wanna do, GOSH!"

Peter slayed me as Uncle Rico.

"How much you wanna bet I could throw a football over them mountains?"-- Uncle Rico

"We chat online for, like, two hours every day.  So I guess you could say things are getting pretty serious."-- Kip

"I'm trying to earn money for college."-- Deb

"If you vote for me, all of your wildest dreams will come true."--Pedro

I made a somewhat unimpressive Cruella Deville.  I thought the white spray hair color would go further than it did.  So the top layer was white (ish) but the under layers weren't very white.  Oh, well.  No matter.  it was fun.  Abe was a 1980's yacht rocker.  What is a yacht rocker, you may ask?  It is a fair question.  I mean, not everyone is a super fan of early 80's soft rock-- a genre known as yacht rock-- because wearing a sailor hat was a thing back then.  A lot of things were things back then, that really don't make any sense now.  They probably didn't make much sense then either.  But Abe is proudly sporting a legit, Members Only jacket.  Be jealous.  You know he is going to wear it just normally now.  This costume was a dream come true for him.  And it will make another appearance later in the Halloween festivities.

Elinor made an appearance as Kim Possible.  It worked!

Never too old for musical chairs:)  No injuries this year and no broken charis!

There's karaoke....

...and then there is performing missionary karaoke!  Are you kidding me?
