Halloween Past

When Joseph was a baby, I had visions of dressing him up in adorable - and original - costumes.  With his red hair, I came up with all sorts of ideas...

Howdy Doody
Raggedy Andy
Opie
Irish Bagpiper
Spider Monkey

For his first Halloween, I pored over costume website, looking for all that was cute and adorable.  Each idea was vetoed by the Father.  Finally, irritated, I threw up my hands and said, "Fine! You pick!"

So he did.


And Joseph was a goat.

Which, because it was Halloween, threw me.

But not my husband, the guy who knows next to nothing of Biblical symbology.

I giggled about it the whole night.

And yes, that's a beard on his chinny chin chin.

Chris - You'll have to wait until my post on Monday. I'll give you a clue, I'd be wearing my token witch's hat if it "wasn't for those meddling kids".
