I didn't. Instead I cleaned the house, ate a Five Guys burger (without making a single bukkake joke), did loads of laundry and dishes, and uploaded 855 pictures.
Why so many pictures?
My husband and I throw a Halloween party every year.
This year we were Aquaman and Macho Man Randy Savage.
No, we did not hold a party in Dexter's house (I don't want the show, so I assume he kills people in his house? Maybe he has a special murder storage unit? I would.). Every year my brother Sky builds a photo set, using his fancy pants "I'm a photographer" camera and lights.
Sky was a zombie. His wife was Alice from Resident Evil.
My niece came as a lady bug.
We made some gross/delicious food.
We also decorated the living room.
To give you a side by side:
Normal -----------------------------------------------------------------Halloween
People seemed to be having a good time.
I had a GREAT time.
Halloween is hands down my favorite holiday. I love seeing how creative people get. I love pushing my own creativity. I spray painted the shoes (I found them at Ross for $8). The green pants came from ebay. The top was a children's ballet top. Apparently they don't make orange ones in adult sizes. I cut out the neck and zipper, painted the bottom black, and my husband drew on the scales. The pads of my feet still hurt from those shoes. I had to keep sitting down because they hurt too much to stand around in. I don't know how people do it. Build up immunities, I guess.
I love hosting Halloween every year, because all my friends parade their awesome costumes in front me, and all I have to do is feed them gross things and take their pictures. Everyone wins.
==================
I'll probably try to run 20 miles tonight. ha ha ha.
Amazing setup! Although I did get the creeps looking at that adorable ladybug in that setting..ha!
ReplyDeleteYour hand is THAT FAR down that girl's shirt. Awesome party.
ReplyDeleteWhoa - that is an awesome Halloween party. Looking at that lunch meat head actually made me gag a bit.
ReplyDeleteI think, if possible, the food looks grosser this year than last. That hand made me gag!
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures.
Way to cop a feel!!
Freakin' awesome costume!
ReplyDeleteThat ladybug holding the knife is the best picture I've ever seen. Also, kudos to having a 5 Guys burger. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the costume!!! Sounds like a great time. We are getting a 5 Guys opening like a mile from my house soon.
ReplyDeleteThat's so awesome!! I love it when people have creative costumes!
ReplyDeleteThe fingers and head made me gag a little, and I'm pretty sure I'd have a nervous breakdown if I walked into a house decorated like that...haunted houses are my Achilles heel. But very cool nonetheless! I'm impressed!!
ReplyDeleteLoving aqua man and Randy the Macho Man. You guys are awesome.
ReplyDeleteOh Rose! You just gave me the best laugh of the day! Out loud at WORK! That ladybug in that scene is hilarious!! You're looking sweet in that costume and I don't know that I have words for Macho Man Randy Savage.
ReplyDeleteThat head is AWESOME. I love it! Love the backdrop in your living room, too. Maybe next year we'll do something like that.
ReplyDeleteI can see why you were concerned about avoiding the bloat, but you rocked the Aquaman costume. Well done.
Wow, that looks like an awesom party.
ReplyDeleteYou are the hostess with the most'ess I'm pretty sure of that, fantastic party, well done :-)
ReplyDeleteWe totally stalked your photos this weekend... I LOVE how everybody really got creative with the costumes. And dude, your husband has killer abs! ;)
ReplyDeleteDexter is seriously awesome. I feel like as your Team Jam partner in crime I might have to make sure you can watch it ... if you want to. I have the hook up. *wink, wink*
The solo baby with the knife all alone ~ love it.
And your food is even all fancy and creative. Fabulous!
I'm going to RSVP for next year right now. Mmkay?
Omg this looks AMAZING!!! I wanna go. p.s. Your shiny green tights are hot.
ReplyDeleteI know FOR SURE that I've said this before buuuuuut I want to be neighbors. You look like SO MUCH FUN.
ReplyDeleteWow, those are some AWESOME pictures. And I do wish I lived close enough to attend your halloween party. Maybe I should consider a move.
ReplyDeletewell, you are clearly the best halloweener ever to exist. This is how you DO IT!! I am such a wimp about Halloween. I want the BEST costume, the BEST. But I chicken out and don't participate at all, year after year, cause I don't put any effort into figuring out a costume. sad.
ReplyDeleteBut I live for christmas, so it's all good.
p.s. didn't you once have a post that was a montage of all the costumes you and the hotty have worn over the years? link it! It was amazing as I recall.
awesome costume! Looks like everyone had a fantastic time!
ReplyDeleteBaby in the kill room=best picture ever. Your party looks like a smashing success. Love the bricks on the wall. So many awesome details!
