Halloween

Well in true form I always come up with my costume in the 11th hour. This Halloween I definitely had nothing much to work with. I had a bandana and... that's it. So I went as a bandit of sorts. I'm not really sure, it didn't matter any ways because with a little face paint no one cares what you are exactly! Jen and Arrianne went as Greek Goddesses full out in togas and plants in their hair. During the night they found their Greek God, Thomas, who was also a fellow toga wearer. I'm not really sure what Pete or Julien went as, but they had their entire faces painted in various colours. Laura and Bas were African tribal folk, and Peter went as a prisoner with a coconut ball and chain. Berit was a cowgirl who then turned into Captain Jack Sparrow's, aka Tom's, hostage.

We had fun getting ready then headed over to the Swedish guys place where the Capirinhas were plentiful. None of them were dressed up except for Anna and Amy who were preparing to roll around in the dirt and go as trolls. As the night went on the Swedish guys all put on plaid shirts and called themselves lumberjacks. (Or 'lumberyacks' as they pronounce it!) Also Halloween wouldn't be complete without some Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and I'm happy to say I saw one Leonardo walking around and one turtle who was lacking a mask. Tayna, Max and Alli were members of a rock band, Maeli was Cat woman and I don't even know if Bryan knew what he was.

Over all it was a good Halloween. We got a few funny looks walking around Jeri because Halloween is not a big event here. It's really not even an event, mostly just kids dress up. But we got into the spirit all the same, its fun how an ordinary party becomes lots more fun with costumes. There was old music (aka from our childhood) playing such as the Backstreet Boys and other fun music in the 'lots of fun to dance to' genre. The only thing lacking was the amount of candy that was consumed.

P.S. Happy Belated Birthday to Trevor!
