This was one of the best Halloween's I've ever had. I think that it was the combination of having a really fun costume, a baby to dress up and take around, and a great neighborhood trunk-or-treat. Also, the fact that Asher hauled in the candy and we (the parents) got to revel in the rewards... hehe. In fact, the very first thing I did when we got home was sort all the candy into piles! Ha, it made feel like I was 10 again. Jon and I even got in a fight over who got what candy. We ended up having to divide it equally, and then each of us hid our horde. Yep, it was 10-year-old heaven all over again!
Jon and I dressed up like mad scientists. I coated my hair with egg whites (which is a really good gel) , rolled it up in curlers, and then ratted it like mad. It was amazingly huge. It looked fantastic, but washing it and brushing it out is an experience I don't think I want to repeat anytime soon. I broke all but three of the tines on my pick! Ouchy mama.
Jon also got a dose of egg whites in his hair, and he wore these spooky orange contacts he got free from Wal-Mart a few months ago. He really played it up at the trunk-or-treat. We had a little table set up with his "experiments" (baking soda and vinegar, and milk, food coloring and dish soap). It was a big hit. I've decided I am a fan of the trunk-or-treat, especially when people decorate their cars and really get into the fun.
And Asher was Baby Einstein! I told you he was a genius! ;) I'd say his costume was a hit, and his hair just kept getting messier and messier as the day went on. He was adorable. I think his facial expression looks down right "Einsteinian".
I had to include this picture, I think it shows how big my hair was, and my facial expression is...um... scary!
Oh, and just for kicks and giggles, here is a link to Asher's costume last year!
And for even more kicks and giggles, check out what Asher WILL NOT be wearing next year-- and yes this is a shameful plug to get you to read my other blog :)
