Here you have The Boy as Justin Beiber. And The Girl is Velma, from the Scooby Doo cartoons. Her three other girlfriends dressed up as Shaggy, Daphne and Fred. They each did their own costumes this year. The Girl bought herself that skirt--which was long--and she shortened it and hemmed it, then scrounged at our local thrift store and found the turtle neck , and we happened upon the striped socks at a local clearance market. Not too bad. The Boy just borrowed his sister's clothes.
I got to hang out at the junior high during the lunch periods today. I figured the kids get pretty wound up on Halloween, even at junior high ages, so I volunteered to go be an extra set of adult eyes, along with the three administrators, watching for behavior that only comes when the kids are dressed NOT as themselves. They were actually better behaved that I would have thought.
The Boy did not even recognize me when I stopped by his table to say hi to him and his too-cool-for-school buddies. I can't imagine why:
Have a groovy Halloween tonight, man.
