This year, Alex and Nick chose costumes that were much scarier than in previous years. Alex dressed up as an orc sword carrying crazed lunatic, while Nick chose to be a troll masked grim reaper. Definitely not your standard fare. They were joined by Danny (hockey player), Brian (Wrestler) and Sam (Dracula).
I dressed up this year also, well...not entirely.
I had a little accident while carving pumpkins. I've never been real handy with a knife, and on the night before Halloween I was attempting to slice open one of our gourds when my steak knife slipped...
Five stitches later...I became...
FRANKENTHUMB!
Here's another angle.
There wasn't much pain, just a lot of blood. I saw it as a good lesson for the kids, and for Dad too!
The kids ended up collecting more candy than they'll ever eat, just like last year, and the year before. And, as I did in those previous years, I'll step up as the father they can lean on...
...in these times of crisis.
Dave i think the doctor did a good job. Mom
