We just got back from our ward's spaghetti dinner. It was a Halloween party of sorts, so costumes were encouraged. I didn't get any pictures (camera batteries are super low) but we all had a fun time getting dressed up in our costumes.
I was dressed as a witch, with a witchy hat I made the other day (using
this tutorial), a black dress, black tights,
black choker, black shoes, and a beautiful hooded cape that I made back when I was in college and still single (in my social group, capes were all the rage back then).
Zaylee wore a fuzzy pink poodle skirt and a matching bandanna around her ponytail. She was the cutest little fifties girl ever. Thomas wore pants and a leather jacket. We were going for the "rebel without a cause" look, but everyone that complimented him said he looked great in his Elvis costume. Oh well, it was cute regardless.
Audrey wore a ladybug costume. She fit in really well - there were about four other ladybug babies there, as well as a few teenage girl ladybugs too. I guess that ladybug was the thing to be this year!
Jeff came as a Medical Laboratory Technologist - he took a couple-hour break off of work to come to the dinner, and just wore his outfit and employee badge. I think his was the most realistic "costume" there. :-) Anyway, I was just glad he could come and be with the ward and the family for our fun evening.
These are the costumes we plan on wearing for the ward Trunk or Treat later this month, I'll be sure to take pictures and post them then.
