Zombie Halloween 2011

LOL!! He looks like he is so upset about the chips!!

I never knew being a zombie could be so much fun!

Josh was so freaked out by Tyler he had to go to bed early. Strangely, he didn't act as if I looked strange at all. Not sure what that says about me.

This is part of a series of pictures we took that tell a story of Melissa being attacked at a party. This is the best picture. I want to crop it and frame it.

And this is how our confrontation ended, because as Melissa said, if there was a zombie apocalypse, she would of course have a shovel in the dining room.

Tasty baby!

So creepy.

Awwww! Cute family

I don't know why I didn't get pictures of Rick and Abby, they looked so amazing. I am sure they have pictures somewhere if you are interested...which you should be. And although you can't tell by the pictures, I swear there were more people there. I don't know why I didn't take pictures of more people.

So much fun on Halloween!

Getting ready for Halloween is one of my favorite things. This year I am even more excited because my amazing brother made the focal point of my costume and (like everything he makes) it is amazing. I am being a "steam punk" chick. And these are my goggles:

If you were paying attention, yes, that was a working light on it and on the other side are magnifying flip down thingys ( like on Toy Story 2 when the old guy fixes up Woody!). They are made with leather sewn with bronze wire. Yes, you can sing his praises now. He is the most amazing artist I know.

So to begin with (for parties etc.) I will be just plain steam punk but then for actual Halloween I will be a steam punk zombie. I need to be a zombie because Sharon is throwing a zombie party! All zombie themed and everyone must come as some one related to zombies. As "entertainment" (if you have seen me dance you know it is laughable) we will be doing a Thriller dance! I wish it was this one. But alas, we are all busy so it will be this one.

Josh is totally into the spirit as well. He has a Batman costume and a ninja costume and he wears them daily. I am hoping to talk him into being Batman because that costume fits over his braces better. Either way, he is adorable. Now I just have to figure out how to have him say "trick or treat" this year. Every year I have him sign it and everyone asks if he is deaf. Do I just give up and pretend that he is? Or do I find another way? A PECS picture maybe? That will confuse people really nicely. Maybe they will be so confused they won't ask. I would love to give him an easy way to do it. With signing, I have to be right there saying it for him or people don't know what he is saying. No matter what old people tend to think he is being rude. If he handed them a picture saying trick or treat they probably couldn't read it. I don't know. I just wish he could be more independent with it. I am open to suggestions!

This is going to be an awesome Halloween.
