Costumes

Well, Austin and I (really just Austin) decided not to do the whole ninja thing. Mostly because for our ward Halloween party everyone had to dress up as famous couples. As easy as that seems, it took us quite a while to come up with some good ideas that we both liked. Austin wanted to dress up with a pitchfork fork and be that one old picture.


I know, I know.... such a likeness of me and Austin, right? But I still said no. And teased him for his suggestion. Now that I think of it, it might have been really funny. Probably not though.

I thought we should just put a piece of paper on each of us saying "1 minute" and then we would be "a couple of minutes". Austin just laughed at me.

So we decided on Robin Hood and Maid Marian



We decided to do these costumes the day of the Halloween Party. We had to do some quick thinking and preparation. We ended up going to the DI and Walmart to get my costume. Please note the "boots" first. We just picked up a little fabric from Walmart and Mindy sewed some thingies for my legs. The shoes were just my brown church shoes. It turned out a lot better than either of us expected. Then we bought two shirts and cut the sleeves off of one. The hat.......I'm kind of ashamed to say that I made that thing. I didn't measure or anything, I just started cutting. I was really lucky that it turned out. I wish you could see my sweet bow and arrows in the picture. It was a little kids bow and arrow set with the suction cups as tips. lol
Mindy's costume looked great! We just picked it up at K-mart for 50% off. At the halloween party there were all kinds of games. One was a word game where we all had letters on our backs and we had to make words as fast as we could. There was also a cow milking contest. It was really fun to watch, but we didn't get to try it out. We had a lot of fun and ended up getting 8 Reese's candy bars(not the fun size ones, which ironically are not as fun as the bigger ones, but the full size ones!) and 1 Hershey bar. I would call that a success!!!!
