I had the idea for Kendrick and my costumes since last Halloween, and naturally, I waited until the night before and morning of Halloween to create them. I have to say, major props to Kendrick... because I really don't think there are many men out there okay with being dressed as a pinata.
making his pinata outfit was honestly so much fun (and really sticky- lots of spray adhesive!) one thing I didn't take into account was the realization that a stretchy shirt would infact stretch when put on.... so, of course, a good amount of crepe paper tore once we he had put on the top half of his costume.
(this is probably my favorite picture of all time- the candy flying in the air was timed perfectly)
as always, Harmony's family hit it out of the partk with their costumes, as they came as the characters from the game Clue! harmony was Mrs. Peacock, Jeff was Colonel Mustard (I'm still convinced he was Professor Archimedes Q. Porter from Tarzan), Keegan was Mr. Green, and Aiden was the cutest little Professor Plum I ever did see. let's just say that after they all came down the stairs, everyone was in agreement to not even go on with the costume contest- we had our winners!
chris and jade's costumes won major cool points, as they came as Black Widow and Hawk Eye. they both pulled of their costumes extremely well, and I'm still convinced that Jade should dye her hair red.
we also had a special appearance from Buzz Lightyear and Woody.... I just don't remember them being so dang cute in the movies?
and last but not least, the zombie prom queen and king themselves!
the afternoon was spent listening to my dad's Halloween CD, eating delicious pretzel bites and caramel fondue with apples, and then feasting on our traditional dinner in a pumpkin. after dinner, Chris and Jade had some fun minute-to-win-it games, in which Kendrick and I shamefully came in last place. we'll brush up on our toilet-paper-mummy-wrapping and water-pong skills by next year!
people starting getting ready to leave for trick-or-treating soon after the games ended, so that's when Kendrick and I decided to leave. we ended up going to Cornbelly's Insanity Point haunted corn maze with our friends Collin and Sara that night, and it was honestly so much fun! I don't know the last time I've been that scared in a haunted house... my heart was pounding for like an hour after we got out! there was one point in the maze where I actually tripped from being scared so bad, and banged up my knee pretty good. It was hilarious! I'm definitely going back there next year.
in all, it was a fantastic Halloween with all of my favorite people- including the cutest lil' pinata in the world.
(kendrick totally gets dibs on what our costumes are next year)
