Halloween

Well it's Halloween weekend and we all know what that means....haunted houses, pumpkins, yummy treats, costumes, and cold weather. I like everything about halloween except for the haunted houses, the cold weather, the scary movies, and the scary costumes. I LOVE the yummy treats and seeing children in their cute costumes. I am not very good at dressing up. I am a huge procrastinator on it and can never think up a good idea for a costume. Chris and I spent some time in the halloween store this week knowing we had a couple parties to attend where we needed to dress up. We found some pretty good costumes.....only if you want to spend $70 to $110 for them! Ridiculous! Why would I spend $70 for a shirt and like a little ribbon to go with it? We found an awesome wig for Chris at the last minute when the store was about to close and decided he was going to be a nerd. We grabbed some glasses on our way up to the cash register and I told him I would find a bow tie for him in the morning. I remembered my good ol friend Melissa wore a poodle skirt last year so I asked if she would let me borrow that (don't worry, I borrowed another one of her costumes last year. See how good I am at this?:), she said yes of course so I got that from her and found a bowtie and a scarf for me at Ross! Yay! Last night we came home from work and got all cutsied up in our costumes. We went to our friends Shawn and Summer's house with a few other couples, had dinner, and played one of those Murder Dinner games. I am not good at those things. I get all confused and mess up my character! But it was fun to play with friends and pretend to be someone I wasn't for a night. I was just happy to get Chris to dress up cause he is not too keen on that! I can't wait to wear my costume to work on Monday! :)
