Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for October 31, 2012

Arlo and the kid understand that “Mom” is scary. Too bad mom doesn’t even seem to register a problem.

I would have gone with Wednesday Adams

Should have been a “I´m her sister” in there :D

for some, dressing up for Halloween would just be redundant…

So that’s NOT a costume??

At least she’s not holding up a bag, too. ( Not that she’s the kind who would, from the looks of her.) Curmudgeon Rant Alert! I’m so sick of young parents with babies in their arms, babies too young to even eat candy, who make their bewildered, sleepy child hold out their little pumpkin, then they look you right in the face and hold out their own pillowcase. I ask who is this for, they boldly say, “Me”! They expect a double reward for their scam! Listening to the radio last Nov. 1, I heard another fellow curmudgeon say he kept packets of ketchup, etc., for the offenders. Good idea… just don’t want the house to get egged!

Dum Dums as a backup and very cheap dinger. If you palm them they don’t know what you put in anyway….so maybe the ketchup packets would work. (Guess who’s emptying out the butter shelf tonight)

Goth and clown. Quite a combination

Her enthusiasm is underwhelming.

Reppr beat me to it.Goth Mom for sure or a Twilight fan

Marilynnn Manson?

Where’s the broom?

What? Mom’s dressed up as a “people of Walmart” — clever!

Exactly what I thought!

Happy Halloween everyone!

Why buy candy? I just kept the lights off, no one came up the driveway.

Thank goodness the child had a good Halloween. That’s what is important and Arlo did his part! She had probably already been to other homes where people didn’t have manners.

I took my kids once they were able to walk, even if they needed a little help moving between houses, but then I carried them. .What cheeses me off is around here these people load ‘em up in the car (with out seat belts b/c that would take too much time/mess up their costume) and drive them from house to house, and it’s not out the in country, treating houses are maybe 100 feet apart! But then my mom was saying that in her town, a couple of churches BUSED kids to one of her friend’s neighborhood (and others). That’s the ultimate in lazy greed to me.
