Beware there are Freaks about!

So, many of you know Jon has looked like Chuck Norris' better looking, younger brother, for the past couple of months. And you may know Jon's aversion to beards. Well… we've had a secret plan in the works for some time and Halloween was the big reveal. Here are some before pictures, and some showing the process of his makeover to his alter ego, "Hank". We started at 11:30 pm and ended about 1:30 am. Enjoy!







HALLOWEEN MORNING: Meet Hank.

Yes, that is his real hair. We bleached and straightened it. I laughed my head off getting it ready, it was really fun and a lot of work. I have a lot more respect for the rockers/punks, they are as high-maintenance as any girl out there.

The first thing Gwyn said when she saw Jon was "Wow dad, weird hair." Both the girls thought it was pretty cool. The piercings aren't real (Though he would have done it if I didn't forbid him and if it wasn't a waste of money).

The Girls picked out their outfits and did their own make-up (Marley - Witch, Gwyn - Fairy, Daphne - Minnie Mouse). Marley woke us up at 7:00 am, jumping on our bed and chanting "It's Halloween! It's Halloween!" Her excitement was only second to Christmas morning.




HALLOWEEN DAY
We stopped by to see Great Grandma Hansen and she was so cute. We knocked on the door and she just started laughing and used some of her famous colorful words over Jon's new look. And she poked at it a couple of times. Then, just before I took this picture, she ran into her room and grabbed this wig, and then tried on the girls hats. She is so sweet and spunky!





HALLOWEEN NIGHT
We didn't go around to all the grandparents this year, because they actually have real, old fashioned, trick-or-treating in our neighborhood. Our good friends the Scoubes', came to join in the festivities. The weather was perfect and most of us were in T-shirts. It was so fun going with the kids. Daphne was out cold the whole time, while the other kids literally ran from house to house, and made off like bandits. It was so fun to see the magic of childhood, and remember what it was like. I secretly wish every day was Halloween!
