Halloween #1

Darth and Hannah



Cookie Masterpieces


Tonight we had a date with Darth Vader and Hannah Montana. They make an interesting pair since we are on our second year of non-matching costumes. Georgia was very excited to try out the life of a platinum blonde. She was insistant that no dark hair show through, so we spent a little time pin-curling that mass of hair that she has to her head so that the wig would be perfect.
We went to the country club's annual Halloween party where they ate pizza and pasta, carved pumpkins, iced cookies, and heckled the performers on stilts. Georgia was the only pop-star that we saw and Brody was one of two Vaders. He was quite at home with the large number of Star Wars cast members in attendance. Lots of Yodas and Clone Troopers to play with.
They looked in on "Its the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown", but it did not seem to hold their interest (probably because there were no light sabers or singing teenagers), so we moved on to souvenier pictures that go home in a clear plastic coaster. Brody was later bothered by the fact that I was using said coaster for its intended purpose. "Mom, your drink is on my face. It doesn't go there!"
Mom's favorite was the club's pumpkin pie and chocolate mousse. They always have the best desserts. We made it an early night and skipped the scary hayride since it was a school night. Bummer. Thank goodness the real deal is on a Friday night!
