Hey here is a picture (click the link in the title of my post) of Harley's awesome costume when we went to the ASL (American Sign Language) halloween party at Bellevue Community College back in October. I just LOVE this costume. It is my favorite he has ever worn.
I am pictured diagonally from him on the website link. I dressed as a big green (LOL deflated) M&M but you can't tell from the picture.
Here is the story of our costumes that I explained in sign language to our friends:
Parents tell their children to brush their teeth before bed but sometimes little kids don't and hide candy under their pillow (YUMI!!!!!!). After their parents leave and shut the door the kids eat the candy in the dark and then fall asleep.
While sleeping they have a dream that they are in "Candyland" and turn into big M&Ms. While walking around and eating all these large candy trees (think of Willy Wonka's chocolate factory), an old hag appears (like the witch in the story of Hansel and Gretle). Because they have turned into big pieces of candy also, the hag chases them and tries to eat them!
As part of his costume, Harley had this fake leg chewed off at the knee that he hobbled around with. He would sign to someone "You hungry?" as there was food at the party. When they would sign yes he would offer his leg to the them. If they looked confused he would simulate how to eat the leg! LOL It really cracked everyone up and he won for the costume judging.
Go to page two of the flicker photos and you will see my friends Allison (the pirate) and Diana (the bank robber) from our weekly ASL meetup. We will be taking sign language 5 together with 3 other friends this coming January. http://www.flickr.com/photos/aslsilentvoices/page2/
