First try on Halloween Dracula makeup

What do you think of above picture? Yeah I put son on try out the Halloween Dracula. I just want to have some fun with him, he likes it so much. I wanted him to stay longer with the makeup so I can know how long can they last. He's sweat so much, so I need to know if the makeup will melt.

I didn't purchase any face paint, I find them expensive! I just use my makeup on him. lol

He wants to share his looked with his classmate, one of the classmate's mom told me she afraid that her girl might not able sleep at night after looking his makeup. lol

Son likes to watch Hotel Transylvania, so this is the makeup I did for him.

Internet down for two and half days

Yeah no Internet for two and half days since Saturday. I can't believe it and it is true, for first time I no checking on movie I won for the rating. Yeah, the email from Nuffnang not stated too if the movie is for pg13 or 18. Anyway I won to watch Kick Ass 2, which son finds it would be funny to watch.

While queue up for premier screening the poster stated 18. No kidding, it is so he's not allow to enter the hall to watch the movie. He's pulling a sad face as we need to go home.

It is not just costumes in the movie looks attractive but apparently after checking on the rating on Internet there are too much of vulgar languages in it.
