Happy Halloween!

Lol... Scott is contracted out to work for a really large mining company in their corporate office, and someone had the idea that they should all dress up as crayons for Halloween. Scott signed up and the wheels in his head started spinning, and he grabbed some cardboard that was laying around in the garage. We worked for 2 nights (he designed it, I drew the label, and we both colored and went through a few markers) and he finally came to bed after midnight last night after completing his head piece....

TADA! A 7 ft tall crayon! I can not believe how well it turned out! He texted me from work this morning to tell me that everyone else just dressed up in colored shirts LOL! I'm glad he's outgoing enough to pull this off

Lol we're going to a party tomorrow as Gomez and Morticia Addams

Scott's office had a vote today at noon for best costume but I guess only 9 people showed up, and one guy spent $80 and 30 hours working on his, so he won. Scott said now when we have kids, we can put a giant crayon in the corner of their room for them to color on lol! If it sticks around the house for that long

Thanks! I can take credit for the lettering He's upstairs now, shaving his beard off so he has just a mustache left for Gomez lol! He is such a kid at heart, and I can't wait for us to have our own children because he'll be such a great dad! He never cares what anyone else thinks and I'm the one who worries about stuff like that and he really brings me out of my shell a lot.

Here we are as Morticia and Gomez Scott practised that look in the mirror before we went to the party LOL!

That wig was so annoying! The hair was falling out everywhere, and I couldn't tilt my head down or it would be all over my face I had my hair in braids, pinned up under the wig. So after a few hours I decided to take that wig off and turn into Wednesday Addams lol!

OH How FUN! I've never dressed up for Halloween as an adult. I'm afraid I would be so embarrassed, I'm such an introvert with that kind of thing. I think it is so great and I love it when other people dress up - I'm so weird! LOL!
