Happy Halloween!

Well, I attended Alli's Halloween Party last night... It's always great when you give "grown-ups" an excuse to get dressed up in costumes and drink punch and have orange jello shooters, etc. I was in a bit of a panic before the party because Laura was supposed to meet me there with Austen's costume from last year which I was borrowing (inflatable sumo wrestler). But, as expected, Lo was running ever-so-slightly late...

Never one to show up at a Halloween party without a costume in fear of the harassment that follows, I had to think quickly. I spotted Auddie's patrol belt and her drug-free week bracelet (made exclusively for 6th graders) sitting on our kitchen counter, and , and I was on my way as a patrol/elementary school kid/6th grader...

This worked out even better when Alli threw me a baseball cap (ok, so it was a Grey Goose cap, but who really noticed?) which I threw on my head sideways. This costume carried me through the majority of my time at the party, until Lo showed up around... midnight.

Ok ok, enough with the talk, here are the photos:

Austen, as "job search," summing up the experience of so many recent grads... (copies of résumés, applications, faxes, rejection letters... you know what I'm talking about):

This is Jess, in my favorite and definitely most creative costume of the evening: Boxed Wine (Nothing to remind you of your college days like some boxed wine! The best part was that her costume was fully functional with a spout coming out of the front- very popular with the party guests). I'm posing with her in my backup costume, which I also dubbed "party patrol" (ha ha ha...):

Here is my debut as a sumo wrestler with my fat ballerina girlfriend (who knew?):

And in case you didn't realize how large and in charge I really was... this is me standing in the kitchen:

All in all, it was good to see some old friends, get dressed up, and scope out all the other interesting partygoers. Can't wait to escort Auddie & the twins around tomorrow night to see all the little kiddies! Oh, and Billie, too.

Happy Halloween to all!
