My "Halloween" Halloween

I wish I had some fabulous Halloween pictures of my kids to post, but I don't. Another mom will be sending me some of those at some point because I was clever enough to walk down the street without my camera. By last night I was exhausted after a day of Halloween festivities at work, and was just along for the ride by the time we went trick or treating.

I do, however, have pictures from work. Obviously I can't go posting anything too descriptive, but I think my favorite picture is easy -- this is my boss on the left. Our Blue Man Group was a HIT, and they totally got into it and got into character. I was so proud.


The best costume, which I voted for, was Michael Myers. Now, I don't know about the rest of you, but I saw "Halloween" when I was about seven, unbeknown to my parents, and that character has forever been my weak point. Do you remember that, Danielle? It was at your apartment! Not only did I avoid him at work all day, but when I was trick or treating near his office, I hesitated to go in. I decided it didn't look like he was in there, but had set it up to be pitch black with the movie going on his monitor and a strobe light flashing. I made it in about four feet before I realized that he was standing off to the side, at which point I screamed and high tailed it out of there. Yes, I'm 32. He wins. No, I didn't take his picture.

Anyone else have a movie character that they can't handle?

I'm so jumpy and easily scared I would have done the exact same thing - lol!

The Scream characters can freak me out some. Funny story - my brother has the Scream costume, put it on one random night and went to a friends house where a bunch of people were hanging out and scared the crap out of them. It was no where near Halloween and to this day they have no idea it was him!

hehehehe

I can only laugh because I wasn't the one being scared.
