Trick or Treat

So I don't really have anything great to write about tonight, but I realized I never posted my pictures from Halloween, so I thought I'd take a quick second to do that...

Obviously Sam and I dressed up as Mario & Princess Peach.  Thank you Amber, for the beautiful pink bridesmaid dress that I actualy got to wear again!  Thank you Steph, for the long satin gloves that you actually wore to your high school prom.  And a special thank you to the incredibly old pair of overalls that were hiding in a closet at my mom's house, without which Sam's transformation into Mario would not have been complete.  One highlight of the night included me running around the room dropping the gold "tokens" that Sam had in his pocket while he followed me around, picking them up and jumping in the air like Mario while making Nintendo sounds.  We are super cool.

As you can see, we were in the company of some great celebrities, including Kate Gosselin, Max and Carol from Where the Wild Things Are, the H1N1 Virus in human form, a creepy old priest and a little "boy", a Cardinals baseball player, and Conrad Prugh, as himself. 

Here's a pic of the girls...I felt the need to carry the star with me all night, otherwise it just looked like I was playing dress up.  Props to Rachel for the best homemade costume and props to Amy for pulling off the "little boy" look and still looking super cute.  I tried to pull off the "boy" look last year and this is how it turned out...

So last year Sam and I dressed up as each other.  And I'm a little disappointed with myself that I actually uploaded this picture onto my blog.  Oh well, I'm going to hit "publish post" anyway. I definitely think this year's costume was a "one up" on last year's costume.  Get it??  "One Up"...like Mario Brothers?  WOW.  Okay, I'm done.  Happy Halloween...a week ago!
