Pictures from the Sr. High Fall Retreat Costume Party

Here are a few pictures from the Sr. High Fall Retreat costume party. Thanks to Michelle Jones for helping me make my Mrs. Bones costume and thanks to KMART for supplying Tim with a goofy costume.

l got the name Mrs. Bones from Kamber and Sara Grace Dancy. They call the skeletons that they see on Halloween "Mr Bones" perhaps to lessen the skeleton's scary-ness. l think it's VERY smart!! The unfortunate side-affect is that l've been singing that "Mr. Bones" song from White Christmas for the two weeks prior to actually wearing the costume... to include the entire weekend. lt drove me KA-RAY-ZEE!! For those of you that don't know the little jingle l'm talking about, here are the lyrics:

"Mr. Bones? Mr. Bones? How do you feel, Mr. Bones?"
"Rattlin’!"
"Mr. Bones feels rattlin’. Ha ha. That’s a good one."
"Tell a little story, Mr. Bones."
"A funny little story, Mr. Bones!"
"How do you stop an angry dog from biting you on Monday?"
"That joke is old. The answer is to kill the dog on Sunday!"
"That’s not how you stop a dog from biting you on Monday!"
"How do you bring a thing about?"
"Have the doggy’s teeth pulled out!"

Whew, it really is annoying to have that song in your head.

(FYl... the letter "i" stll doesn't work; l'm just using that fantastic copy/paste feature.)
