halloween weekend

at first we didn't have any plans for halloween, but at the last moment we decide to take zuki to a pumpkin patch. it was my first time so it was all new to me.

pumpkin vandalism...

'hey zuki, did you pick out a pumpkin?'

'no no, don't throw it on the ground'

THUD!

RUN!

'oh great pumpkin, give me a sign'

mad dancin skillz
(i don't know what's she doing)

'what mom, a girl can't go walkin around with her zipper open?'

you done yet abusing the pumpkins?

later, we figured we since we did one halloween thing, we might as well go all the way. so we dug up zuki's bear PJ that auntie from japan gave her, throw it on, and go hit the mall for some candy. i kinda didn't want to take her 'trick or treatin' cuz i didn't want to be THAT parent who takes their infant child out, knocks on the door and says 'trick or treat' (cuz the kid can't even speak) and knowing full well that zuki doesn't even eat candy, it would be for me. i don't want to be THAT guy, but we just did it for the pics and to see what the mall scene is like on halloween.

ROAR!

we kinda got to the mall late and most of the stores ran out of candy. she did get 1 piece of candy, a sticker, and some temporary tattoos. its good that they gave away stickers and tattoos cuz we don't feed zuki sugars yet.

at work, i sit in an office (what used to be a conference room but was converted into an office) with 2 to 3 other people. since there's no walls or cubical dividers, things get pretty friendly.
last year we decided to decorate the office and all dress up.
the theme...super mario. i was yoshi.

i made the head out of paper mache, and the body is a disposable coverall i dyed green.

we won the costume and cubical decorating contest.
our whole office was 1 level of super mario.

this year we decided on 'alice in wonderland'.
i was the white rabbit.

i made another paper mache head, and the clothes are from goodwill.
i made my desk into the rabbit's house.

once again, we won the costume and cubical decorating contest.

here's just some random pics...

ya-hoo! ride 'em cowboys

don't get used to that pole dancin
