...apparently I'm the queen of jokes people only understand on the internet? 

We should have a halloween party of our own.  Then we wouldn't have to explain our costumes to each other.

Lizzie wants to be Dora the Explorer for Halloween.  You have no idea how much I want to say "Dammit, do NOT be frickin' Dora, have some originality."  But I don't want to crush my little girl's spirit.

Carlos - there's a couple Dora Halloween movies out there where she dresses up as a black cat.. and something else... Maybe show them to her and sell her on the idea of going as Dora as _____.  Even better talk about how Dora would celebrate El Día de los Muertos instead of Halloween.  From there, it's just a hop-skip-jump to her being a tiny skull-headed flamenco dancer.

Okay, after careful consideration, I've decided to shelve Sam Beckett this year.  We're going to a party at Pedro's sister's and...to put it bluntly, she's one of the cool kids.  Nobody would get it, and it's only funny if you don't have to explain it. 

So instead, I'm going as...

an expectant mummy.

I'm thinking of going as the Dread Pirate Roberts. Because it seems pretty easy to do and I'm lazy and unskilled.

Yeah, but all day people are going to keep asking me to roll down hills yelling "as you wish." Plus, I have to pretend to be left-handed for like 15% of the day.

Man, I am enjoying my status as eccentric shut in these days, but if not I got invited to the Rainbow Harmony Coalition (aka the gay choir) Halloween party that would be hella fun.

Low effort Halloween Costume: Thomas Pynchon. All you need is a nice suit, crazy cowlick, buck teeth, and a fear of the media. If somebody tries to take your picture, scream and throw Gravity's Rainbow at them. Fun for everyone of all ages!

Huh. I thought he always wore a paper bag with a question mark on it. I guess I watch too much tv.

This year I selected a Webcomic costume, which guarantees that no one is going to know who I am:

Doctor McNinja

Materials:
1 Doctor Costume
1 T-Shirt

I think I am going as a box.  Not a sexual thing, just a box.

Pedro is going to be a lazy man's zombie (torn shirt, green face paint) for the grownups-only Halloween party at his sister's house tomorrow, and Luigi (to Little P's Mario) when we take the Boy trick-or-treating on Wednesday. 

I'm doing the expectant mummy both times.

Lizzie del Vaca:  a plastic cup with a straw.  Mrs. del Vaca made this.  She is so awesome.

Catie del Vaca:  punkin.  This one is store-bought.

The cup and straw looks better than the store-bought costume!  How cute! 

When I was a kid, my mom *always* made my costumes.  I actually felt a little sorry for my classmates who came to school in Kmart Rainbow Brite costumes.  In retrospect, I think this makes me a Halloweelitist. 

I was never, in my recollection, a character from a TV show or anything.  I always wanted to be something nobody else would be.  As a result, a lot of years I just dressed up weird and tried to give a different answer every time someone asked me what I was. 

Also, I wasn't allowed to be a witch, for Religious reasons.  So every year for about eight years, when Mom asked what I wanted to be for Halloween, the first thing I would say was, "A witch."  And she'd say No, and then we'd go through the Costume Closet until something struck one of us. 

One year I wore my tap dancing costume and painted my face white and was a dead fairy. 

But witches, man.  They were out.
