Halloween













So, we officially have a Halloween party to attend, which means we have a reason to have costumes. After some deep thought we've settled on dressing up like the two squares pictured here. Josh didn't feel totally comfortable with the idea of wearing underwear as our costumes, so we'll be recreating the above outfits that Brad & Janet are wearing when they arrive on Dr. Frank-N-Furter's doorstep. I can't say I totally disagree with Josh, as Halloween is typically the first cold night of the year here. It just always seems to work that way. We went to a neighborhood thrift store Friday and was able to find a good jacket for Josh that was only $6. He should have pants and a shirt that will work fine, so we just need to find a blue sweater vest and some cheap black glasses that we can pop the lenses out of. I ordered the biggest part of my costume on Saturday. I normally like to put a bit more effort into my costume than just ordering it from a website, but since I can use this costume again for it's original intent I figured it was a good deal. And it will be nice to have a costume I can pull out in case of emergencies. Costume related emergencies, which are obviously a concern for me. So, someday I will be dressed as one of the classiest first ladies, but first I will be Janet Weiss. And now that I'm looking at the dress again, I bet I could probably make a pretty good air stewardess costume out of it eventually. So, what are you going to be this year?

That is an adorable costume. You will look fabulous. I'm totally jealous, this will be our second year of no Halloween dressing up.

Where was this costume when I needed it a few years back?? It's funny, we were invited to a Halloween party this year and I immediately thought to be Jackie O again, since it's the one costume I have kept over the years.

Oh I LOVE that costume. I was thinking about the Morton Salt girl but the thought of dragging around an umbrella & a salt canister (so people know who I am) is daunting. Bah- still looking for genius ideas!

I married someone who hates Halloween, so I'm hoping in the next couple years I can start phasing in us dressing up together. So go you! Way to dress up!

OH! I forgot! Two years ago I did dress up and I thought it was awesome, only not many people got it, which was kind of pathetic on their part. I was very pregnant and I wore a dress and stuck a red cut out letter A on my chest. Maybe it was poorly recieved because it was a church function
