Pix will have to wait for now

An amish guy. There will be pics.
edit: normally I'm against dressing up as something that a large group of people already are every day (nurse, military, pilot, cop, rock star, etc...) but I'm going to justify dressing up as amish. I'm the IT guy at work, so it's a paradox (is that the right word?). It like being a blind pilot, or a crooked cop. I can justify sexy nurse, sexy military, or sexy rock star, but only on a case by case basis.

i'll be a tall bald dude following a "ghost with a weapon" (that's what the 4yo son wants to be: picture the bad guy costume from Scary Movie with a dagger that has red liquid in the blade). last year he was one of the guys from zztop

I guess you can say that there is still a kid in me... i'm borrowing a tricycle from my little cousin, hooking up a shopping cart to it, dressing up like a cyclist and riding it from door to door begging for fuel.

I was all pumped up getting a costume together- I was going to be Prefontaine. Had the Oregon Jersey, mop hair wig and a mustache. Than I told someone I was going to be Pre. They immediately asked, "Who's that?" Soooo... instead of spending my entire Saturday trying to explain who Prefontaine (American running legend) is, my wife and I are throwing something together so we can match/make a pair. We will see how it turns out.
Looking forward to the pictures
i dont know what today will bring to me, but thats just fine.

I want to wear a costume for my tri on Sunday, however my wife says nobody will get it because its the day after Halloween. What do you guys think, costume or no?

My friend is having a party and he asked what I was going as. I told him a cyclist (I am the LAZIEST halloween guy on earth) and he tells me there is a no spandex policy. His gf requested that I come spandex head to toe. Whos wishes do I honor?

I usually don't dress up, but this year I will be a scubadiver. My daughter will be a bat, and I know my wife told me what she will dress up as, but I cannot recall.
For the last few years, we "reverse" trick or treat. I bake about 7 dozen chocolate chip cookies, and as we go from house to house in our neighborhood, I give them to the folks handing out candy. They usually go fast.
We also are having a small get together with some friends and their kids, arts and crafts, pumkin carving, and the Longhair world famous (at least in my head) home made whole wheat pizza and stromboli.
A group of friends did duathlon last weekend, and there were folks dressed up. The best costume was a ginger bread man. Another guy did the event in a three piece suit...he was all business.

You should dress up for events when they are not even close to Halloween and really have some fun! ;-)

My 4 yr old is dressed as Spiderman and he's dragging me around with a dog leash we dressed up like spider webs. I don't know why I agreed to this. He's looks hilarious though because his waist is no bigger than my kneecap but the costume has faux abs/chest. He looks like a stud with an athletic V-shape. Here I've been working on my core muscles and all I had to do was buy a costume. Sheesh.

We're doing a whole family of vampires save the two year old who just LOVES his skeleton costume.
Was that an oxymoron earlier, or a foxymormon?

I was a classy pirate. Sad part of it was that the only baggy sleeved shirt I could find at good will was a women's maternity shirt. Oh well, at least I had a tight vest on.

Unfortunately there are no pics from this weekend that are clean enough to post on the interwebs. So I'll just describe the costume. All merchandise sporting the 2016 logo's is 50% off so I picked up a t-shirt and hat advertising the Chicago bid, got a "black eye", and added a sign "I heart Rio" below the bid slogan on the back of the t-shirt.
There were a lot of strong reactions about it and most people really liked it. It did spark a couple interesting conversations and a lot of laughs.

My best friend and I went as Patrick Swayze and Chris Farley in the SNL Chippendale's skit. Very well received and a lot of fun!
