Just a bit about Halloween before it’s suddenly the middle of November…
On Friday we went to Adrian’s work for a little bit. They had a reptile guy with lots of neat stuff. We got to see and hear some crazy snakes. I think after that they did some sort of trick or treating around the offices, and apparently there was a huge shindig at “the commons” but we had to leave. (Remember, there are something like 200(?) buildings and 40,000 employees at the Redmond campus. There are a lot of people.)
Us on the front stoop on Halloween. Morgan was a horse. I didn’t make her costume, which I had to get over because I didn’t want to buy the costume when we saw it even though we liked it. Adrian gently reminded me that I probably didn’t need to stress myself out over getting something done. He was right. We saw this and thought it was a cow, so we said she could be Mooooorgan. Get it? We call her that sometimes. But then turns out it had a mane and a tail. Hmm. Definitely a horse. So she was a horse. Or a cow.
Slightly better shot of Toby as a shark. Yeah, we actually dressed up our dog. We saw this costume at Target and it made us laugh, so we bought it. He actually did better with it than we thought he would.
The extent of our Halloween decorations. We didn’t even carve a pumpkin. How lame are we, right? Oh well. This was a Martha idea I’ve been wanting to try for a long time. It’s glow sticks in white balloons with faces drawn on. For obvious reasons it was hard to get a picture, so just squint and see if you can tell what’s going on there.
Love the cow/horse costume, Morgan looks so cute! And those balloons look great, I’ll have to remember that for next year. The boys got their pumpkins carved, but mine only got gutted and then I never had time to carve it…oh well, I’m really bad at it anyway.
Cow or horse, she is just cute!
