"I'm the baby"


It’s funny how a child can change you, it’s not just that you grow up because you are now responsible for a human life but this child has made me a baby myself. Before I go on there will be Halloween in this post I promise, I find that every time I see a newborn I quickly think he or she is just adorable and that is not a word I use regularly or was ever in my vocabulary, also I find myself fighting back tears with every video I watch of a baby or young child in it...gosh huh…..wait “gosh” where did that come from.


But I will also do anything for this child…anything. When we watched the first episode of The Walking Dead there was a scene where a bad guy had a baby by the neck and threatened to harm her. I had the worst feeling on that scene and I swear that I would have done something bad to that guy I mean I was angry, sad, felt hopeless and it was just a TV show but if you have read my blog you know how much I get into movies and shows.



Then there is this…


I wasted no time painting my daughters bum so that my wife could make a bumpkin out of it. See this is in the Halloween spirit, even though I used my daughter as the butt of this joke…get it. HA HA.


 

We even attempted to take pictures of her in a pumpkin patch but this was the best that we could get out of her, she was more entertained by the grass as it was the first time that she felt it between her toes. I will say this, she kicked the crap out of the grass and we all had fun.


Oh and Daddy made that bow....yup!

"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.

1408





A film I have to talk about every Halloween season. This movie is based on a short story by Stephen King. Starring John Cusack and Samuel L Jackson. Cusack plays a writer who spends the night and then reviews supposedly haunted hotels and has him staying in various places, until his stay at The Dolphin Hotel...






I get lost in the movie so much that it feels like I'm there, very few movies that I've watched have this effect on me and when they do it's a good thing.



Whats your favorite scary movie?
