#1 Nobody really got what he was and he had to keep explaining
#2 My costume got more attention and laughs
He was a Ski Bum, but people kept saying "Ski Hobo".
Liv's Hannah Montana wig kept bugging her eyes, so she wore it way up on her head, giving her a comical "mulletesque" look. And Gage had a kick butt apparatus that shot silly string, but he took it to his buddy's house. His buddy then hid it because he wanted to keep it, and returned it guiltily with his big sister a couple of days after Halloween.I'm a little bummed that I can't make my kids wear ridiculous costumes anymore. Even Nash insisted on wearing his "Matman" outfit, though he refused the mask and cape. What kind of Batman has no mask and cape? He figured out early on that he could get candy without it.
My costume won first place at a Chamber of Commerce party. I got a gift basket from Great Harvest and a gift certificate to a spa. Cha-Ching!
Note the earrings.There is more wire in this costume than any one human should be wearing.

hahaha I love your costume Leah.... :)
Oh man! Seriously? That is the best costume ever! We are dying over here! You are so ingenious. The newspaper on your leg is like the icing on the cake. Yes!
I love the rest of the family's outfits too; Liv looks so pretty! I would have guessed ski bum, so nice work Dylan! Isn't Halloween so much fun?
I can totally sympathize with Dylan. When I was growing up, my mom just had a box of scraps and wigs and old clothes. We'd piece together costumes from that. One year I was a princess. Everyone kept saying gypsy. Maybe it was my middle eastern background, but I started to think all people (mind you, I was a first grader at the time) were pretty lame and dumb and not smart.
You are so clever, Leah! How fun to win a prize!
Leah-you get two wind blown thumbs up.
Awe-some.
