I didn't have a post planned today, but after seeing so many fun Halloween ones in reader I decided to add one. We didn't do anything for Halloween this year - hopefully we'll pass out candy tonight, if parents decide to bring their kids out in the 30 degree temperatures they're forecasting. Sure feels like December in Boston today.
It's a little sad we basically skipped the holiday this year - I grew up in Salem, MA! But maybe we were still getting over last year. We went all out with our costumes for a The Devil's Chase road race in Salem. Spent weeks planning and searching for the right elements, spray painted a ukulele gold, searched for the perfect color blue sweat pants, all to run 6.66 miles!

Matt has devil horns in his John Deere hat! Can you guess what I am? |

An avatar - I figured it'd make me run faster, and it did ;-) |
Did you dress up this year? - How long did it take you to put your costume together? A quick trip to the store? or weeks of handmade planning?
The Devil Went Down to Georgia!
ReplyDeleteYou two are so creative! And you're right, it's a ton of work to do a handmade costume. I lucked out this year, but I've really struggled in the past.
