Loma Portal Elementary had its annual Monster Bash on Friday night and the Point Loma Ward had its annual chili cook-off/costume contest/pumpkin carving contest/cookie contest on Saturday night. The two events had several things in common - costumed kids, contests, and lots of mayhem. The kids couldn't get enough of the chaos. Star Wars characters were big this year as evidenced by the many store bought costumes. The new Star Wars/Clone Wars cartoon spawned a lot of, well, clones. Christian was the only X-Wing Pilot which made him a star. Last year Christian donned a space shuttle suit because he wanted to be an astronaut. Then he realized that space shuttle astronauts wear the same uniform as Luke Skywalker as he destroyed the Death Star in Episode IV, A New Hope (better known as the first Star Wars). Add a light saber, gloves, snowboots, sidearm and a paper maiche helmet and the costume was complete. He received high praise for having a homemade costume. Erika pretends to be a kitten 90% of the time so her costume choice was easy. A long-sleeve leotard from Capezio, whiskers, tale, and ears were like catnip to her. Heather manned the photo booth from 7:30 to 8:00. For a measly 8 carnival tickets, I paid her to take the two photos above. Now its Sunday and our ears are still damaged from two nights of screeches, screams and howls.
