A great use for a Stillwater pipers plaid!

OK, so here's the backstory- my dad recently was diagnosed with prostate cancer and has been undergoing therapy for it. My family moved in with my parents to help my mom, who's health is also not so great, take care of my dad. Now my mom is a music teacher who gives private lessons on Saturday mornings. My son and I were watching the Ghost Hunters marathon on SyFy when the first of my mom's students came over. He and I were in our jammies. He was very embarassed to go past the music room in his boxer shorts. I was wrapped up in my plaid because I was cold. My son decided he needed to go get dressed... so what to do? ...what to do...? The boy left his belt on the couch... again... I noticed."Oh! I know!" says I. "Long plaid, thin boy, belt- GREAT KILT!!" And even better, it is Halloween, so a great kilt is all the more fitting!

Not bad for my first time wrapping one for someone other than myself. The belt is a little too low and the aprons are a little small, but all in all, I'm pleased! And so was he.

Fantastic! And he looks so happy in it!

I'm wearing a great kilt tonight for my Halloween costume... it looks pretty stupid as my materials a little on the short side. I'd feel more comfortable if I were a little smaller!
He looks like he loves it!

You've done a really good job - I'm glad your lad was pleased.

Now he needs a broadsword and a targe, and he's ready for the traditional stalk of the wild candy.

Man, I'm just coming down from my sugar high from those d**ned things...

My wife and I went to see Halloween II with my best friend, who was dressed up as President Nixon. Now that was funny! A wild Highlander walking into a movie theater with Nixon...

Anyway, I'm off to unwind with Bungholio: Lord Of The Harvest. It's a 10 year tradition with my wife and I- zombie movies all week, and then Beavis And Butthead Do Halloween. Have a blessed Samhain, brother!
