Halloween 2015 and other junk

So last year after Halloween, Adrienne said never again to trick-or-treating, but that resolve dissolved (see what I did there?) when her friends all wanted to go this year. Given they were all gonna dress up, I said okay, what the hay. I only get annoyed when the older young-ins show up sans costumes and want my candy just for ringing the doorbell. She revisited the butterfly/fairy wings from a few years ago 'cuz we're all about being cheap recycling.

And more costume recycling, with wolfman Nicky and Dracula Zach. Zachula?

We won a scarecrow making contest at the church fall festival in September. We had showed up with little time remaining, and hardly any supplies were left. That 'shirt' is a pair of red pants that Nate refashioned. The head is pantyhose that Nicky colored a rabbit face on, but it washed off in the rain. Oh well. A few trick-or-treaters were freaked out by it.

Michael had his first concert of the year over the weekend as a member of the Wind Ensemble. The boys wear swanky tuxes and the girls wear pretty black dresses.

Had to snap a pic of Skippy after Nicky stuck him in his dragon hat the other day. Dunno why Nicky wanted dogbutt in anything he sticks on his head, but it made for a cute little green doggy burrito.
