My Halloween Costume(s).

Look, I'm just going to say it:

I'm giving myself an "B" and "F" on my halloween costumes this year.

Sigh. I know. You were expecting more of me, right?

Let me break it down for you.

I'm one of those who likes for the family to coordinate their Halloween costumes.

Like last year....when we were all different versions of Super Heroes.
{This is where I should insert a picture of us from last Halloween, all dressed as superheroes. But that would mean such a picture exists. It doesn't. I'm just full of disappointment today, aren't I?}

This year, there was no coordination whatsoever. McDaddy and Carter wanted to be skeletons. And Matthew wanted to be Super Mario. And so I jumped ship and aligned myself with my friend's family.

Our costume theme idea gets an "A" for being awesome and fun:
My friend was Alice in Wonderland.
Her 1 year old was the Cheshire Cat.
And I would be The Queen of Hearts.

My friend and her daughter pulled it off perfectly and were beyond adorable.

Me, on the other hand? Had major costume malfunctions.



First of all, my costume top was too big so the choices were:

a.) Get a boob job.

OR

b.)Pin and tuck and tie and mcguyver this thing on me.

After weighing my options and checking my bank account, I chose "B".

Which of course ended up making the top look all wonky and ill-fitting.

Oh wait, that's right.

IT WAS WONKY AND ILL-FITTING.

And the dumb collar? NEVER STAYED UP!
And the crown? DID NOT FIT ON MY FAT HEAD!

And the elbow-length black gloves? KEPT FALLING DOWN!

Major costume failure. Hence the "A" for the idea but "F" for actual implementation.

However, my second Halloween costume?

Rocked the casbah.

We wore this to a Halloween party last week.

Let's talk about all the reasons I love this costume.....

a.) It took me literally TWO SECONDS to get ready.

b.) THE WHOLE FAMILY COORDINATES!!! (even Matthew who was not in this pic was a pilot!)

c.) I didn't need to get a boob job to wear it.
