This past Friday, Lucas went to his first-ever school dance for Halloween. I've asked him every year since 1st grade (maybe even kindergarten) whether he was interested, but he's always answered in the negative. I'm not sure what changed his mind this year, but he was actually excited about it this time. I know it had nothing to do with girls since when I asked him who he wanted to dance with, he looked at me like I was crazy and exclaimed, "I'm not going to dance!"
He was originally going to wear his Halloween costume, a killer clown, but his school has banned scary clown costumes, presumably because the world has turned into a bunch of wimps, but that's another argument for another time. The funniest part about it was that in the school newsletter, these were two of the sentences:
- "There will be prizes for costumes in the following categories- funniest, scariest, best homemade costume, most creative and best family costume."
- "No scary or inappropriate costumes are permitted."
Boggles the mind.
Anyway, Marilu helped Lucas create this last-minute costume:
Get it? If not, see the end of the post for what he's supposed to be. The only hint I'll give is that Marilu loves costumes based on wordplay or puns.
Speaking of which, here are our "costumes." Probably the easiest things we ever put together.
Once again, another pun-related costume from the warped mind of Marilu. You'll groan out loud when you hear what it is. Just like Lucas's costume, I'll say what it is at the end of this post.
So it's been a while since I last posted, and I have plenty of news, mostly concerning Lucas's sports teams. I'll talk about that in the next post, which I hope to have up in a day or two. Once I upload a few more catch-up posts, I want to get into a schedule of updating once a week, likely on the weekend. That way, I can make a habit of it, and it's regular enough that I can keep up with current news.
Okay, so the costumes. Avert your eyes if you are still trying to figure them out.
Last chance....
Lucas is a cereal killer, and we are ceiling fans,
Yes, truly, truly awful. :)
