No photos from Halloween 2008. I briefly thought about getting them dressed up again the next day and faking it, but decided against it.

'cause i went as boy george that year. but i found a plastic porkpie hat with pink hair attached to it that i then tarted up with braids and bits of rag. weird. i love this story of your grandma. i think she knew exactly what she was doing. what a gift! and who needs all that hair coiled up in a chest like a snake from the past when it can light up the halloween of a twelve year old who will remember it forever? (oscar is adorable: you did what he wanted. that's right) weird weird weird, bon. ’cause i went as boy george that year. but i found a plastic porkpie hat with pink hair attached to it that i then tarted up with braids and bits of rag. weird.
