FAMILY PHOTOS: Ahhhh! The Horror!

OKAY, nobody, and I mean NOBODY likes watching some other schmo's home-videos, slide shows of their Grand Canyon vacation, or their danged "KIDS!" I SURE DON'T. So, feel free to move along... nothing to see here. But, if you care to see that your ol' rogue evolent was at least a good enough Dad to let his kid go "trick or treating" (a few times....when the wife nagged me) here he is in some of his costumes. COUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN continues with rogue evolent going for the sentimental cheese....
awwwwwwwwww!
That's my son MothT on the left and his first girl-friend "Golly-Ga" on ther right. They're getting ready for their pre-school Halloween party. Later that night we took them to the Fort Wayne Zoo for a special spooky spectacular train ride and candy give-away. The boy is dressed up as a Tiger Cub. The costume was made by Mrs. rogue evolent.

Here's the militant little mug dressed up as Peter (or maybe Edmund) from C.S. Lewis' THE WIND, THE WITCH, AND THE WARDROBE. I made him the Aslan shield (it was the first, the proto-type; I later made him a better one). For his battle helm, MothT wears a plastic MILWAUKEE BREWERS batting helmet. The sword is a plastic "bubble producing" wand device. Moth was like every boy ever born in the Earth's history... from the time he could walk and pick up stuff... if he grabbed a branch, stick, twig, or pointy thing.... IT WAS A SWORD. Then later it became a gun/rifle.... or even a "sword-rifle." :)

Some well-meaning neighbor or relative bought the lad a cheapo-plastic Knight-set. Moth STILL was King Peter of Cair Paravel.

We were living in South Dakota for this Halloween. Everybody who didn't love the Broncos was a Minnesota Vikings fan. Our friends across the street gave MothT this costume which he wore while begging door to door for candy.

This is a photo of ME... rogue evolent (who says I don't let my photos get out onto the net/blogosphere??) teaching the off-spring everything he needs to know about using a butcher knife. Halloween Cutlery Lessons #101

Next year his Mom made him this Robin Hood getup. I provided the goatee-type beard courtesy of a burn't cork. NO RACIAL STEROTYPING was thought of or implied.... so please, no supercilious "pc" comments.

In this last photo, MothT wears my old Navy Uniform and went as an Officer of our Mighty Fleet. I said he was Captain Wrong-Way Peachfuzz.

My boy, growing up in the rogue evolent household actually KNEW WHO Capt. Peachfuzz was (and Gidney and Cloyd too)
