Halloween 2007



On the weekend prior to the "big day", David helped Marina & Jordan 'gut' the pumpkins and then they set out to creatively carve one each. Ryker wasn't into it, so I only have 2 pumpkins rotting out on the front porch.

Marina & a couple of her girlfriends all love the character of "Dwight K. Shrute" from the TV show "The Office" (go figure???). 3 of them decided to be "Dwight" for Halloween. They shopped at Value Village for ugly 'man clothes' and purchased wigs to attempt to cut into Dwight's very odd hair style. Thinking they still might not be recognized by the majority, they printed his photo from the web and make a 'stick mask'.

Jordan got creative selecting odd clothes at the same thrift store and adding a few additional items to become a wild and crazy clown. During the class party at school, he got 2nd place in the constume "fashion show" - losing out only to "James Blond".

By 7:30, there were 7 crazy girls trick-or-treating at our door, then deciding it was time for a water break. Convenient that I had just put popcorn in the microwave... I handed that over to them. Parts of costumes were peeled off and the decision to stay in and watch a scary (really scary!) movie was made and they got picked up by 10pm to finish off the night.

Pictured here are: Tess, Steffi, Maddie, Marina (back row), then Casey, Natalie & Bailey (front row).

You should have seen them all hiding under blankets and screaming when David appeared outside the front window with a mask, a saw and a flashlight uplighting his image. I almost wet my pants!

The movie crowd looks so fun. I love the Office guy's mask. That's clever. Cute costumes!
