As it turns out, we found a hobo living in our yard.
Yes, a hobo.
We caught him one evening drunk on Pirate's Booty
while rummaging through our stuff
looking for shiny things.
And to make matters worse
he wasn't wearing pants.

I chased him off our property using words like Skedaddle! and Scoot!
Oh boy did I mean those words too!
Meanwhile Chup shot photographs
for evidence of the crime.
The whole episode went by like a blur,
he picked up his knapsack
and started running . .

. . . laughing the whole way . . .


Last we saw him he was headed for the hills,
begging for candy from door-to-door as he went.

If you see him around, tell him he left his mangy tent here.
He knows where.

*costume, make up and knapsack all produced by Daddy Chup
isn't he clever?

Amazing he kept the hat on for so long.
love the costume.
Too cute! That little hobo can set up tent in my backyard anytime, but I don't think I'd like the real thing...hope he got lots of candy!
I'm so glad you chased that little varmint away. What nerve he had to set up camp in your back yard. And in such an adorable way. I'd say he was probably just trying to worm his way into your heart and house.
What a great costume! He's the cutest little hobo I've ever seen. It sounds as though he had fun!
Such an adorable hobo! What a great costume!!!
Clever, indeed!
So adorable!! Courtney... you spin a mean tale!!
Halloween is - by far - the greatest holiday ever invented. Of course, if we could all dress up in costumes like this on National Corn Fritter Day, perhaps it would also catch on as a great holiday as well.
He looks adorable! I am glad you were able to scoop and scadaddle him out of there.
Chup did a great job on the costume! The Chief makes an adorable Hobo!
Absolutely precious! What a great costume. Thanks for sharing :) I hope he cashed in on the candy since this was probably the best costume out there!
