Happy Halloween

Wow the robot costume was a great hit. EVERYONE loved it.

Friday night Don, Andrew and i went to the Science Center for some science fun. When we got there they had all the children so up to the second floor so that they could introduce each child and their costume one at a time while going down the escalator (think red carpet)... When it came to Andrew's time to go down the announcer looked down at them and secretly told him his costume was her favorite. When he came down he received a standing ovation (the only kid that did)... I felt bad for the other kids tho :( ... Everyone there came up to him and asked me if they could take a picture of him. Andrew on the other hand was getting tired of all the attention and wanted me to take it off of him. (guess stardom is not in his future) ... But since i was the one that made it, it boosted my ego... lol

Now on to Halloween night.

He went out with his 2 friends Anika and Ethan. And once again he was getting every ones attention. And once again i felt bad for the other kids. Almost every house hold asked to take a picture of him. But i guess he was fine with that because he was getting the goods to go along with it... Many of the houses also gave him extras for having the best costume of the night.

The robot consisted of 2 boxes, 1 for the body, 1 for the head. A voice changer to make him sound like a real robot. A flashing red round light it the top of the head. 1 light inside of the head hidden at the back of this head so the inside of the looked like it lit up. Dryer vinyl duct vent for the legs and arms. Duct tape and lots of silver paint. And other do dads.

Now for the pics and LOTZ of them :) Notice that the second night (Halloween) we added more to it. Including a Pentium chip ;)
