Halloween 2011: Costume Ideas, Events, etc.

[Dell Yount]

My wife & I visited our local Pumpkin Patch...
I had no idea there were so many varieties of punkins!

Pumpkin prices from $8 to $80 & up!

TIP OF THE DAY:
first chance you get...
rub a pumpkin for luck!

 

[Gryffindorian]

Nice!

 

[RoJoHen]

Christ, did you post the whole album?

 

[Gryffindorian]

And might I add, what a lovely wife you have, Dell.

 

[Kestra]

Anyone have pics of costumes yet? And I'd love to see decorations once they start going up!

I might just be lazy and dust off my second Doctor costume.

 

[auntiehill]

That's awesome!

 

[UssGlenn]

Finished my costume today. I hope a few of you recognize who I'm going as. Hint: this is half of a couples costume.

^So where's Emma Peel? (I assume that's what you're going for)


There are quite a few pumpkin varieties. My mom tries to grow several kinds each year...but the squash bugs almost always get them.

I think you need a glass of champaign.

Correct. John Steed and Emma Peel. Mrs. Peels costume is currently a pile of fabric and a pattern. My girlfriend assures me it will be done in time.

I am working at screams Halloween Park this year (the dark side of Scarborough Faire) so I am in costume every Friday and Saturday. May go to a party the next weekend after Haloween...since many are at Screams. Just depends how lively I am.

 

[auntiehill]

^That sounds fun. I loved Scarborough Faire---very lovely grounds. Not as much to do there as at Texas Ren. Faire, but the smaller, more intimate atmosphere made it more relaxing & much easier to see the shows.

Make your very own fresh pumpkin pie!

The Perfect Pumpkin Pie
http://allrecipes.com/recipe/mrs-siggs-fresh-pumpkin-pie/detail.aspx
Heather picked out a beautiful "Cinderella" pumpkin,
which is best (sweetest) for baking pumpkin pies.
Give it a try... it's fun and easy to do
and your friends & family will tell you
it's the best pumpkin pie they ever tasted!

Helpful Hint:
Don't be shy with the cinnamon... and
Graham Cracker Crust is a better way to go, imo.
Also, fresh roasted pumpkin seeds are a real treat.

 

[Gryffindorian]

Thanks for sharing, Dell. The only desserts I've baked are the Betty Crocker kinds, which are much simpler to prepare. I like pumpkin pies, especially this time of the year.

Sneak preview of one of my daughter's Halloween costumes:

 

[TheBrew]

I am thinking either the green hornet or Wayne Algar. Wayne would be much easier since I just need a wig and a black t-shirt.

 

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

I am thinking either the green hornet or Wayne Algar. Wayne would be much easier since I just need a wig and a black t-shirt.

Wayne's last name is Campell.
Garth's last name is Algar

 

[Gryffindorian]

Or he could go as both!

I'm thinking of being an Orion slave girl. I have nowhere to go, but I have a new boyfriend, so... yeah. Has anyone done full-body paint before? I have no idea where to buy stuff like that or how to put it on and keep it from staining everything.
