On Friday the 30th, we had the ward’s annual chili cook-off and Trunk-r-Treat. Kenneth decided that he wanted to make a chili to enter in the contest. So he opened the fridge to see what we had (not much). He ended up using 5 cans of Hormel Chili, added hot dogs and ground beef seasoned with onions and garlic and called it “Chili Dog Chili”. He won third place. Can you believe it?
Kenny decided that he didn’t want to wear the wig again, so we spray-painted his hair black and put some makeup on his face – to make him look dead – and called him a goth vampire.
He actually looked pretty great with black hair. It suited him well.
This picture was taken after he had been out and about for several hours. He had eaten several pieces of candy and a sucker – thus the orange around his lips and the worn off makeup.
After the trunk-r-treat, we drove up to the outlook for the city and took some pics and enjoyed the view. Check out the pictures taken by Kale, Mom and Dad.
Kenneth decided since it was Halloween and he could get away with almost anything, to cut his hair and give himself a mo-hawk.
He also cut his beard so that he had mutton chops and a split goatee. He looked like a UFC Fighter.
We had a great time and enjoyed spending the evening together as a family. They boys collected quite the stash of candy and should be set until next year. They went around 3-4 times and got lots of compliments on their costumes and as always, were quite the hit with the ladies.
For Halloween night, we holed up in the “Theatre Room” and watched movie, enjoyed teriyaki beef for dinner and then went to bed.
Love the chops and the mohawk! AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteUGH! Halloween is a holiday designed and celebrated by man-boys like Kenneth. I'm glad they have a holiday to call their own. I'm bitter about the chili cook off. We had one too...I put a ton of effort and crockpot time into making mine and didn't even get an honorable mentions. Although I didn't bring any home either 'cause it was all eaten. I suppose that is a compliment...or they were all REALLY hungry and ate whatever was left. Kenneth is amazing at making simple things seem exceptional though, so it isn't a surprise he scored with his chili dog chili. Again...ugh!
