All Hallow's Eve

People, I love Halloween. I must have asked AJ about 20 times the last few days what we were going to do Halloween night. I was mostly just excited to dress up!

At one point there was a possibility that we'd go to the Howl at USU with a friend of his, but that didn't work out. Turns out the kid was unaware that you even had to buy tickets, and after I told AJ how much tickets would be, I think the plan fizzled away. It's probably a good thing though, because I hear the Howl is a total skank-fest. Like, if you are a girl that only wants to wear saran wrap, you'd fit in perfectly.

Oh, and I am quite aware that for most females out there Halloween is the one night a year you can dress like a skank-a-tron. But that is SO LAME. I think in Mean Girls it was said perfectly. Here's one of my favorite clips (sorry it was the best I found)

So, I had no plans, and no real reason to dress up, but I just couldn't resist myself. AJ went and saw a movie with a friend, while I was very content all by myself trying to figure out a costume. What I came up with is probably the girliest thing I've ever been, next to this:


(I'm on the far left. Refer to that Mean Girls video to guess what some boys' reactions were.)

I turned out to be some kind of spider lady. I decided if I'm ever alone and bored, all I need to do is start painting all over my face and I'll be happy. So, AJ thought it was hot (a first for my costumes), and I got TWO compliments from all the people that came by last night. Oh yeah.




I also finished my super-ghetto Halloween craft project. I wanted to line our sidewalk (so kids knew where we were) with these pumpkin dudes on sticks, but a big styrofoam ball was out of my cheap price range, so I decided to create my own. It got weird. What you're looking at is plastic grocery bags bunches together and glued to a smaller cheaper styrofoam ball, all covered in newspaper. Then I painted it orange and put faces on. A couple turned out okay, and the last one was pretty ugly. And to think I was going to make 5!

Ignore the garbage cans




I guess I wasn't entirely alone last night...I had lots of candy to keep me company...cute basket huh!?
