Every year I try to dress my kids the way I would like them dressed. I try to steer them clear of the chaos, influence their choices for costumes and generally keep them on the strait and narrow. It's what moms do right?
Well apparently there comes a certain time in a every moms life where the exhaustion takes over and you're just plain tired and you give up the fight. At least that what I think I did this year. I'll let you decide.
When that happens this is what you get.
Purple hair.
Purple hair and nose rings.
Purple hair, nose rings and skull jewelry.
And if that wasn't enough I also got a zombie skate punk.
Complete with sliced up face and body. And a blue mohawk. (as if he does not cause his own self enough bodily injury on a daily basis - lets make it look even worse shall we.)
Where have I gone wrong? Anyone? Bueller?
There is only one place to take guys dressed like this. A place where cute toddlers in Dinosaur costumes and Fairy princess gowns won't be scared to death and have nightmares for weeks after seeing my guys dressed this way.
That place would be here.
A place where other fellow freaky people hang out.
Freaky.
Very freaky.
Extremely freaky.
And all that freakiness was skatingboarding. Can you believe it?
This guy actually wasn't freaky. He just wanted a little peace is all. (yes that is his real hair just for the record - ultimate coolness )
Besides not wanting to scare the little ones we really just wanted to hang with buds.
Our skater buds to be exact.
And we wanted to do this. This would be the Halloween balloon bowl.
And in reality it's actually a Halloween balloon mini-ramp. The old location of this skate park had a bowl that they filled with balloons for the skaters to roll through. Since they have moved to the new location they now have a mini-ramp. They decided to fill it this year also.
The boys were pumped. Morgan was about to drop in.
He made his run.
He flowed through the balloons in all of his freakyness.
But since there were so many wanting to the skate the ramp all at once it got a little dangerous out there. Austin never even made an attempt. And Mo nearly got flattened by someone who did not see him.
So we decided it was late enough to hit the streets and get some candy without frightening anyone too terribly bad.
It was a fun watching my freaky skate dudes skateboard door to door to get their treats.
We could hardly keep up.
And they made a great haul.
I should know I went through it all and tested much of it myself.
I'm a punk like that.
Happy halloween ya'll!
Hope it was a freaky fun one!
The Sidelinemom.
