Halloween



So I have decided to post a little bit about what I have been up to. If you haven't seen my pictures from my visit to Peru and Macchu Picchu you can see them on Facebook which means I won't be putting it on the family blog.
A couple of buddies and I had a group date and so we decided to be traditional and carve some pumpkins. It really brought me back to when we would all carve our pumpkins, bake the seeds, and used paper clips to make the pumpkins have the eyes pop out at people. Oh the good times of carving pumpkins with those small knives that would usually bend and break on us. Good memories! Well we cleaned out the pumpkin with a spoon and then had to d
ecide what we were going to carve. Some were doing Batman, while others were doing Dinosaurs and Jiggly Puff, so we decided to do PACMAN! And as you can see they turned out pretty darn good if I do say so myself.
Well later that week we had a party for our stake and it was a Halloween
th
eme. Some of my buddies were in class and heard a ring tone of the Power Rangers which sparked the idea of us being Power Rangers f
or Halloween!!!
Yeah so of course I remembered being the Green Ra
nger for Halloween in like the 3rd Grade and had mom ship that suit with some of the weapons for the other guys. Well the suit again was from the 3rd Grade so there was some altering done, but I had to find some pants since yeah.... really small. So I looked everywhere to find them and nothing. DI, Walmart, Macy's (yeah desperate), and some other stores and nothing. Well I became resourceful and just started asking people in my complex. I found the ones I am wearing in the picture and they were perfect!!! Man what a sick costume. GO GO POWER RANGERS! That was a great costume.

Well, you can tell who hasn't really posted that much (double post). Nice pumpkin, and even cooler costume.

I am SERIOUSLY impressed by the pumpkin. I can NEVER think of a creative idea and mine always turn out terrible.
I'm not sure why, but I can't click on your pics to make them bigger, but from what I can see the costumes look totally fricken awesome.
MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS!

***Thanks for posting taddy!

I can't believe you found those pants. They are the bomb! I also can't believe you got into that costume. Good thing I had a ton of green rib knit so I used it for the costumes. That made it stretch at least one way to fit you for the rest of your life. I think it should be a tradition to put it on every 15 years for the rest of your life. Ha Ha.
