Happy Halloween!

We love Halloween and were really excited that Todd’s Master Guns and his wife decided to throw a party! Now, usually we are pretty prepared for Halloween and start thinking about possible costume combinations well before September. This year...ya not so much.

The plan was simple. Walk into our local costume shop, select 2 brilliant and completely original costumes (that would no doubt wow all our friends), purchase and walk out hand-in-hand with the knowledge that any and all best costume awards would surely be ours.

What actually happened was not as simple. The plan was flawless until we entered our local costume shop. For there, Todd promptly picked up a Harry Potter costume while I picked up a pirate costume. We then stared at each other for awhile. Things only went further downhill as we wandered around muttering "well what do you want to be?", "I don't know, what do you want to be?" and "are you absolutely sure you don't want to be Hermione?"

Two hours later (yes two hours), with our dreams of winning awards now a distant memory, we selected goddess and gladiator costumes. We were tired, hungry and slightly annoyed with each other.

Fortunately the party was much more fun!

All dressed up!

The cute Martinez family. They were far more successful in selecting their costumes.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween!
