Werewolf Bar Mitzvah
Spooky Scary! We had a fun Halloween last night. Our church had a Trunk or Treat event, where people come and decorate their trunks and pass out candy. I wish they did this when I was a kid! Maybe they did, and I just didn't know about it, but it's a pretty cool idea. Laziness factor is high; trick-or-treaters get a lot more candy per square foot than going door to door. Friendliness factor is high; no creepy people answering the door or rude/stingy candy givers. Fun factor was sky high; I think the trunk decorators had more fun than the trick or treaters! We were asked to decorate with a theme, and there would be prizes for the top 3 trunks. Our idea was "The Cave of Doom", and we created a cave out of the trunk of our Hummer. We had a sign that said "Beware of Monster", and the monster was Buckley. He was crazy scary...just kidding. I looked everywhere for an outfit for him, but dog costumes for 100lb dogs just don't exist. On a sidenote, anyone who wants to create a Big & Tall store for dogs, let us know, and we'll be investors! :)We had scary spiders, yucky moss, and broken chains to add to the spook factor. We were planning on having dry ice for the smoke, but we forgot. In hindsight, the smoke might have put us over the edge, but we'll never know. Sadly, we didn't win, but we've already got ideas for next year! We had a lot of fun, saw lots of sweet little kids, and got to celebrate our silly little holiday with friends. Hope everyone had a fun Halloween!
Our pumpkins! I did the goofy face, Jessica did the howling wolf. Why do continue to craft/do artistic things with her? I've come to accept that she is miles ahead of me...and now I take advantage of her and have her carve my pumpkins :) haha
The cave of doom while it's still daytime...not quite as spooky
Jessica's bug of bugs...get it? The giant spider on the top was attached to a rope, and as the kids were reaching in through the spider web, it would drop down...very funny to see (or hear) kids scream all night! We're not sure what the teapot had to do with the theme, but she looked cute :)
Getting darker...see our cool pumpkin in there? You can also see the cave effect. Fun times.
As for the blog title, Justin and I were singing the song "Werewolf Bar Mitzvah" all day on Halloween. It's a spoof song from 30 Rock. If you don't watch that show, you really should. It's the best show on right now (with the exception of Mad Men). Watch it next Thursday! In the meantime, here's an incomplete version of our funny song. Long live Tracy Jordan!
