Live from the Vandys!

The Progressive Jingle was stuck in everybody's heads on Halloween - well, actually, the 29th (that's when the parties were, and since we didn't get any trick-or-treaters....); because we were dressed like this:


We didn't think to take pictures of each other to better document our awesome costumes. Awesome and cheap costumes! I bought a white apron for $4, the ribbon was inexpensive, and the phone was $2.50 at a thrift store. The rest is stuff we already had or I printed and taped to our costumes.

On our way to the ward trunk or treat we considered the possibility that no other adults would be dressed up! We  were happy to discover that our costumes could easily be transformed into somewhat normal clothing. Fortunately, most adults dressed up, so it was all okay.

That night our friends, the Johnsons, hosted a Halloween party, which was totally awesome. We (six couples) went out for dinner at Chili's all dressed up! Another table was also dressed up and they looked relieved when we showed up as they were no longer alone in publicly celebrating Halloween 2 days early. Needless to say we got a lot of stares and even requests for insurance quotes!

It was a good thing we celebrated on the 29th, because the 31st ended up being a disappointment. Oh well, the more candy for me!!!
