Another Young Punk

The violet mohawk was the highlight of an otherwise disappointing Halloween. I wore my "witch with a day job" outfit to work on Friday and did not receive a single comment until 5 p.m. (I'm surprised that all-black garb, purple lips, black fingernails and a giant mass of hair isn't worthy of comment, but I'd rather believe that than just that nobody noticed). The grocery store was out of pumpkins so I didn't carve a jack-o-lantern, and I do so love carving jack-o-lanterns. We received a total of 11 trick-or-treaters. Dianthus puked this afternoon long before he was offered any candy. I was entirely out of good ideas for a costume for Dianthus when I remembered the purple hair spray (yes, it is an item I keep on hand). Dianthus's shirt reads, "Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle of Milk." Click here to be reminded how much he has grown in a year.

Looks like D is having fun. And just why did he puke in the afternoon? Excited about trick-or-treating?

Fantastic!! Love the look. Better than all those other cutesy animal costumes I've seen on the under-2s.

Thanks Marieke (although you might want to click on the link and look at last year's costume before mocking the cutesy animals too much).

I love the shirt and the costume. I'm disappointed that you didn't get comments about being a witch
