THANKSGIVING PEOPLE

So our camera kicked the bucket earlier this week, and we're having to
rely on ye olde camera phone...don't let the poor quality of the picture
fool you...this has been one of the best days since arriving in this
green and pleasant land!

Getting ready to head out an do an obscene amount of holiday grocery
shoping!
go to WE NEED NEW NEEDLES (Rik's notebook) to see quickie sketch of Young Master Super-Speed.
(also to see what else Rik has been jotting down, and to hear the depressing music he's been listening to...)
Thanks to the Astonishing Sarah Belcher, here's some new pictures...
(Hella and Royal spend an hour or two every afternoon at the Belchers' house, hanging out with Sarah and her Astonishing Offspring, Ingrid and Malcolm...)
Ingrid hurt her knee, so Royal had to check it out
Royal and Malcolm speaking telepathically
Sometimes Hella is sad
Sometimes Hella shines
Hella is beautiful
Royal is happy
Look at that picture!
Isn't it easy to imagine him as Batman...
No, seriously...
President by day, kicking ass by night.
We are so excited!
It's about time we got a LEADER to lead us!
It's a brand new world!

So...
In the strobe-light, whirligig hurricane that has been our lives for the past month, Halloween kept getting pushed to the back burner.
We had some vague ideas about what to do, but nothing definite.
------
Jump ahead to 4pm on the day...Christina gets home from work (Rik is off on Fridays), the parents have some coffee and then get busy cobblin' together some creations...
We had a store-bought bottle of fake blood and then whatever we could scrounge from toy boxes, closets and still-unpacked boxes.
This is how it ended up...
Lots of smiles!
and
Lots of blood!
We went out with our bestest friends Sarah, Ingrid and Malcolm (Josh works late), but unfortunately didn't get any pics of them! (Ingrid = mouse, Malcolm = lion, Sarah = hot mom).
Boris was THE KING OF DEATH IN THE WINTER
Spike was A ZOMBIE PIRATE FROM BEYOND THE APOCALYPSE
(we didn't get any good pics of JUST him)
Hella was SUNRISE, FAERIE OF THE MORNING LIGHT
Royal was INDIANA SPEED, ROOTIN' TOOTIN' ADVENTURE BOY
Royal was completely excited about the whole idea of getting free candy...every time somebody put something in his bag, he had to show everybody around what he had gotten!
Since it was his first REAL Halloween, we let him have as much candy as he wanted...he gorged...then spent the night crying with a belly-ache!
Classic!
