Ode to Halloween Costumes

Halloween, for me, is no longer the spectacular holiday that it used to be when I was a little kid. I used to love getting all dressed up and going from house to house collecting my candy. I remember being a skeleton, the grim reaper, and, my personal favorite, a "beat up" soccer player. Two years ago as a teacher at Indian Hills Middle School, I dressed up again. I was an insane woman (which wasn't a super stretch from reality). I wore a large night gown and allowed my hair its freedom (for those of you who have not experienced that, count your blessings!). I carried around a little cooler and mumbled random things.

This Halloween a friend of mine from church decided to have a costume party last night. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a costume and I didn't have a lot of time to put something together. I was somewhat of a "Halloween Humbug." However, once I started putting my costume together the magic of Halloween as a child returned to me. I was excited!

Here are some of the pictures I took last night.

This is Megan, the hostess of the party.

This is Scott, Megan's boyfriend. He's not a member, but calls himself a "Mormon-in-training."

This is Brandon, from Malad, ID, dressed as Deron Williams. I told him his skin needed a little darkening.

Marlainna (above), a non-member, dressed as Sarah Palin.
John, (left) from Macomb. What is he? Good question.

This is Amanda (left), from Quad Cities area in IL.

To the right is Elizabeth, a non-member friend of ours.

This is Matt and Ruby Findley, from Utah. They are a couple from the ward here who are great fun!








So, you ask, what did you dress up as, Aubrey?

You can call me, Cling...Static Cling.
