proof
we were going to be princess unicorn and recyclops. read about the princess' legend. she's quite the dealio.
so is recylops OBVIOUSLY. and i already had the fluffy pink dress.
well, two weeks before halloween, i came to find out first hand that murphy's law was indeed correct.
anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.
my grandpa died. i went out of town. my family came into town. i finally got busy at work, which never has happened. i had stake meetings and relief society meetings and time out for women and had family in town again and i had a nervous breakdown and justin had midterms and i had to do my visit teaching and then i had to make the monthly relief society newsletter and i had a party i had to make food for and a trunk or treat i had to make food for and then i got sick.
so ya, crazy past two weeks. somewhere during that time i had my late-23 year old crisis. so i abandoned the princess unicorn/recyclops idea because no one would know who they were. [honestly- did you before this post?] here are a smattering of ideas:
3 hole punch jim and cat pamfinally- this is what won. purely based upon the fact that i already had a white dress & keith had a gorilla suit.
the joker and the joker as the nurse
bella and edward [a clear winner to me. a clear loser to justin]
fred & wilma flinstone
juno & pauley bleeker
hans solo & princess leia
dorthy & the wizard
batman & catwoman
king kong & ann darrow
epic. fail that is. oh well- i've already started planning my outfit for next year
PSYCH!
or not....
anywaysies, festivities were had by all- best costumes? the irelanders as mr. & mrs. potato head. and best costume by little-people-whose-parents-force-them-into-silly-clothing: deagan & calle black as garden gnomes. love it.
oh and i finally got revenge on my sister/arch nemesis anna. she wore my could-have-been-me princess dress and went as a princess (but not of the unicorn variety). epic.
