Halloween: Need I Say More?

I declare this year's Halloween as a success. Ander and I were able to actually spend Halloween together for the first time since we were married and it was a blast! I decided to go as Max from Where the Wild Things Are, and Ander worked two costumes: The Hamburglar and a 70s man.

First thing in the morning Ander grabbed May-May and a buddy of his and went out fishing...Hamburglar style. He decided the Hamburglar suddenly discovered a taste for fish, and he thoroughly embarrassed his comrade all morning.

Next I awoke and dressed in my costume for work. Full onesie complete with ears and tail. My mother-in-law did a FANTASTIC job on my costume and I am eternally thankful to her for her hard work. I was a hit all day long and even made some kids smile.

The girls I work with all wore these cute little witch hats, telling me that dressing completely in costume and working with blow dryers all day was not comfortable, and I believe them.

Left to right that's Shandi, Lori, Me, Sonya, and Julie.

And one of my favorite people at Bradz, Amy, the front desk coordinator came all dressed professionally for work when Shandi decided to throw a dread lock wig on her and draw facial hair and tattoos on her face so she looked like Lil' Wayne. Genius. What a trooper, Amy wore that all day! (Way cool aluminum foil grill on there as well)

I had a really slow day, so I spent a lot of my time rubbing everyone down. Clients and co-workers alike. They are all stressing about their parties and costumes that night so I decided to help them out.

Now, onto our evening at our Halloween party. My apologies to everyone for my camera being so sucky since I only have said camera on my phone. I took copies of everyone else's Facebook pages to create my own collection and there are still a couple that I'm missing. Please bear with me, I'll get them up soon.

Our friends Danny and Jenni had some of the coolest costumes I've seen in a long time. Oh the childhood memories...

And Tracy and Joe were the darling Charlie Brown couple, Charlie Brown and the little red headed girl, but that picture will come soon enough. (don't judge) Trevor and Michelle were both dressed in fabulous kimonos and looked wonderful together. Once again, that picture is on its way.

After chatting and catching up with one another it was time to carve our pumpkins. Ander and I decided to use patterns so we were last to finish, but we were very proud of what we accomplished.

^ (Can you tell this one is from my phone's camera?) ^

And ta-dah! Our masterpieces. The pumpkin with the skull is mine and the pumpkin with Bowser is Ander's. We are extremely proud.

Once again, I think this year was a success. Our costumes were fabulous, the party was fabulous, the food was fabulous, work for me was fabulous... it was just a good day. Thanks to my Mama Denton for the costumes, the interwebs for our pumpkin patterns, and the Walshes for the party. What a great Halloween!

(I also have a better picture of Ander's costume coming shortly)
