Friday afternoon, we were able to solve our Halloween Costume Dilemma! Monique came up with quite a few ideas (mine were a little too suggestive and quickly shot down by Monique). Some friends of ours, that were going to the same party, wanted us to dress up like them and go as hippies. This was something that we both agreed on (some what). We went looking for "hippie" stuff Friday, and we must have been shopping in the wrong stores (not to mention the wrong era), as we could not find "hippie" things! Now on to plan "M" at this point....what to dress up as. Wandering through the aisles of the Dollar Store, Monique had a brilliant idea! Now, how to implement the idea. As they say, two heads are better than one - we were able to figure out how to pull this idea off. We were able to get everything that we wanted for both costumes for less than $13!! Once home, the assembly took about an hour for both. The kids thought we looked like dorks, and gave the impression that no way would they be caught wearing something like this. We went as 'showers'!
We received several compliments on our costumes (positive compliments, no less)! I believe that the kids are still traumatized by this. But hey, we can't all go as 'Power Rangers' as Steve and Jon did (and these were a lot more comfortable)!
P.S. Yes, Mikki, there is a reindeer and an amaryllis plant in the background. And yes, they have both been around as long as the snowmen in photos from previous posts. You can't say that we aren't planning ahead on holiday decorating!

VERY VERY CLEVER... THE ONLY WAY BRENT WOULD HAVE DONE THAT IS IF WE COULD HAVE BEEN IN THE SAME SHOWER.
That comes under the "too suggestive" part that was voted down! Although, there was somebody that asked to climb in my shower with me! An idea that I quickly shot down. Doug
very clever and cute.
