Happy Halloween!

Yarrrrgh, it's Brick!

It was a lovely autumn day for trick-or-treating this year, sunny, but with a brisk wind. That didn't stop the Brick family! Mrs. Brick took the children out for the annual candy search haul that netted them a full bag each. Brick stayed at home to answer the door--and boy howdy, did he get into the spirit of the day!
Mrs. Brick took a picture of him before she left while it was still light out. One has to love how much thought Brick put into his costume.


The Red Pirate Brick!

Supposedly, adults that came to the door asked if that was an ex-parrot on his shoulder, while the children wondered why it was wearing a crown. The parrot was NOT an ex-parrot, gone to meet its maker, because it was never alive in the first place. Some people!
As far as the crown...well, maybe the parrot was the birthday bird at a pizza party palace.
And if heavy is the head that wears a crown, obviously it keeps the bird from flying away, kids.

But now what will Brick wear for Talk Like a Pirate Day??
