Matthew Monday: Halloween 2019



Halloween was last week and as I do every year I post pictures of Matthew in his costume.  Two years ago Matthew was an evil character for the first time, a zombie convict.  I didn’t like the fact that he was an evil character.  Last year they—him and my wife, they’re both against me—sort of appeased me by having him go as a ninja.  Not that a ninja is necessarily a good guy, but he doesn’t have to be an evil character.  It’s a bit ambiguous.  This year they couldn’t care less what I wanted.  Matthew went as an evil clown. 






I guess the Joker movie that’s been out has influenced the costume fad.  It’s not my cup of tea, but Matthew says Halloween is supposed to be about evil characters.  Is that true?  It has to be evil?  If you click on the Halloween tag at the bottom of this post, all the Halloween posts through the years will come up and you can see Matthew’s costumes through the years.

Well, here he is without the mask.





Now this year you don’t see him in a picture with my mother as has been my tradition.  This year my mother was in the hospital through Halloween for a severe and stubborn case of bronchitis.  Today she should be coming out.  She will have been there nine days.

Matthew Monday: Halloween 2017

Here are some pictures from last week’s Halloween.  This year Matthew went as a zombie convict…lol.  Yes, I guess they make a costume called a zombie convict.  It was horrible, if you ask me.  But I didn’t select it.




Now I think I’ve captured every Halloween Matthew has experienced and he has never had a costume of a villain until now.  Here are the costumes from the last four years.

2016: Knight
2015: Superman
2014: Batman
2013: Captain America

The zombie convict was a big departure in character.  It took some people back.  Actually it scared the dickens out of his maternal grandmother.




That was a live shot…lol.  And here he is with my mother, after she got over being startled.




While trick or treating we met up with a handful of his school friends. 



They are all so cute.  And finally here’s the real Matthew with his natural, sweet face.





I told him next year he goes back to being a hero.
