Skeleton Pirate of the Caribbean by NIGHT

All suited up complete with the lint brush in hand ?!?!

The mask came with the costume but we wore it for all of 2 seconds and then we weren't interested in putting it on again.


The bandana worked for a short time.

We won the contest for the biggest orange pumpkin!




Kisses for the pumpkin baby.

Tickle my bones.

The pirate hat is the best for me. I'll wear it.

My 1st mate getting ready for the big night.

That's what 1st mates do, they help you with your shoes and in some cases kiss your feet!

Off to our first house!

All night we were saying, "Happy Hallowe'en Treats!"

My 'other' first mate.

Come on Dad, no time to watch helicopters. Candy! Candy!

The big pumpkin leaning down to help me with my costume.

Argh!

Skeleton Pirate of the Caribbean by DAYLIGHT

My day costume.

On my way to pick up my Dad from the tri rail train station. He's flying in from Cayman to go trick-or-treating with me! I've got a surprise for him too!

He gets his own hat that I made!

I'm the Captain of my pirate ship and Dad and Mom are my first mates.

I decided all of this on my own.

Here I am with my stellar pumpkins I painted earlier in the morning......

getting the house all spooked out!

All smiles as I wait for Dad's train.

Mom and I stayed in Florida for the week just incase baby arrived early while Dad went back to Cayman to work a few days. By the time the end of the week came, I was so EXCITED to see him!

Dad, Me, Mom and my little baby pumpkin Bacac

Mom's hat is stunning!







Captain Zeke and his first mate walking back to the pirate ship.

Back at the pirate ship ready to set sail.

I'm organizing my treasure box and making sure I've got all my bones accounted for.

Life’s pretty good, and why wouldn’t it be? I’m a pirate, after all.

Ahoy Matee .... And this is how you....

.....make sure no one comes trick or treating to your door step!

Put a 2 year old in charge! HA! Read On...

To begin, find yourself a pre-made pirate hat. One that when you put it on makes you become a crazy SPOOKtacular pirate!

Get on your biggest and bestest smile.

Then you begin going to town on your first pumpkin.

Heck, stand up, wave those paint brushes around and splatter paint here and there and get as much paint as you can all over everything. Thank goodness your legs have been reduced to bones otherwise more to clean up.

Somewhere in between the first and second pumpkin change your focus and decorate that boring hat just to make sure that you're keeping it real and the tiny attention span is kept focussed.

Now back to work. Begin pumpkin numero deux and be sure to add different colors to this one than you did the other. You might decide to put one brush in each hand....it gets done quicker and twice the mess for Mom to clean up.

When in doubt, absolute CONCENTRATION is key!

Viola! The masterpieces are fini!

I've never laughed so hard in my life!

Hollywood Beach Pumpkin Patch

No Hallowe'en preparation is complete without a screaming good time at the pumpkin patch.

"What me? I'm not getting into mischief."

Hardwired: Must touch and examine everything!

Brothas From Different Mothas

Today we visited long lost friends that live not too far from where we're staying in Hollywood Beach.

Nicholas is Ezekiel's friend from Grand Cayman. He moved away a year ago. The boys hadn't seen one another since. It sure helps when the Moms get along too! Nick's Mom Kelly is a really laid back chick.....she and I are on the same page when it comes to rearing kids.

These two are 10 days apart. Nicholas was born Dec 15th and Zeke Dec 25th.

This is a photo taken 2 Hallowe'ens ago.......Nick & Zeke's first Halloween.

The handsome little pirate and the handsome little devil.

Otherwise known as chocolate and vanilla.

Where's Nick? Where's Zeke?

This little playgroup (although the kids have changed slightly) still gets the kids together. We'll miss it once again this Hallowe'en.

It's all about the hats.

Nick's kid sis Gabriella. She was right in there with the boys and the hats.
