getting ready for halloween

i LOVE halloween!  it is exactly 4 weeks after my birthday, so it was always fun for me when my mom would take me halloween shopping for my birthday.  growing up, i was a WIDE variety of things: cat, bride, punk rocker (what was i thinking?), gwen stefani.  but my personal favorite costume was esmeralda from the hunchback of notre dame.

senior year in high school, my friends and i were "yahtzee" and won best group costume for our school

going to college wasn't any different.  i still loved dressing up! i was an angel (to my roommate's devil), a baby, a flapper, and a ninja turtle.

ever since i met mike, we have always done coordinating costumes.  the first year when i was donatello the ninja turtle, he was splinter.

last year we were thing 1 and thing 2.  we really just pranced around our house in our costumes since halloween was cancelled because of a crazy snowstorm, but it was still fun to dress up!

this year, we went through a variety of costume ideas: power rangers, mr. and mrs. potato head, toy story; but we settled on where's waldo.

i think this is going to be a fun one.  i can't wait for halloween! we already bought creepy decorations for outside our house, so all we need is the candy!

is anyone else ready for halloween?
