The Two Games that brought me and my brother closer together....

"Repairing Halloween"

The other day we were taking out the Halloween decorations we had our first casualty, one of our pumpkins did not survive the year long storage and was found shattered in pieces. Of course my wife’s answer was, oh just throw it away, I said nope! I’ll fix it. So I gathered all the pieces and got to work.

 These were all the decent pieces that I could find, all the rest had turned into dust.

 I also had to recreate one of his eyes as the pieces were to far gone.

Here he is all put back together, I would give all those kings horses and all those kings men a run for their money.

And Here with the first coats of paint, went with a bit more natural color.

"Look at the lights Christmas time is here"

"Look at the lights"

Christmas time is here and it's going to be a whole new experience for us because it will be our little ones first Christmas and because it's her first we are doing all that Christmas stuff together.....kind of.....well she was asleep when we put up the tree....and also when we put up the lights, but she was awake when we took her to go see Santa!

I think I experienced my first parent/dad issue waiting in line to see Santa if you could've just seen my face when we reached the front of the line I was a nervous wreck, all the other kids that took pictures with him were laughing and having a good time and I knew that we would be the ones with the child that cried when seeing Santa and about to reenact the scene from A Christmas Story when Randy freaks out.

ME: what if see cries?

Wife: um no.

Me: what if see sees his face and freaks out?

Wife: she won’t

Me: but…

Wife: she will be fine.

 

"You can just see the excitement in her face"

And she was, as you can see in the picture she kind of didn’t care much about the bearded man in a red suit.


I really don't know how to end this so...yeah "Merry Christmas"

"Halloweens Past"

♪♫ Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ♪♫

I can’t wait for that one Halloween day when I get asked “Daddy are going to dress up too” and then I’ll  have to dress up and go trick or treating with my daughter, I’m going to hate it…….YEAH RIGHT! As I write this I am thinking of all the cool things I can be and what costumes I wore as a kid back in the day. I can only think of a few, I went as The Crow one year in my teens and……….umm……wow… my trick or treating sucked I guess, well I do for some reason remember dressing up as a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. Yeah that’s me as Leo and my cousin Robert as Raph and one thing that I remember is that those costumes were only meant to be worn once and only once because by the end of the night they were barely hanging on by whatever plastic it was made of or had fallen off and stuffed in your candy bag if it fit with all that awesome candy you had, I mean the dang candy bags were made better than the costume itself.

But Halloween was always fun in our family wither you dressed up or not because everyone got into the spirit like my dad, he would just sit there at the end of the drive way and scare kids with just a mask on…now that’s talent.

 

 Even my grandma would sometimes join in on the fun.

 That’s my sis and her son Chucks eating the candy for other kids……I taught him well.
