Guilt Post...

I know it's been a looooooong time (for me anyways)
but surely...this picture makes the wait worth it....RIGHT?
Us...at the ward Halloween Party
1 hour before the party I said "Doug, we should dress up. I want to dress up!"
"What do you wanna be ???" (him)
"I don't know, a punker" (me)
"How you gonna do that?"(him)
"Uuuuummmmmm.....you go to Smiths and find me something! I gotta paint Samantha's nails" (me)
"Why don't you go and I'll paint her nails" (him)
"REALLY..." "OK, I'm gettin' you something too!!!!" (me)
So I was gone for like 10 minutes and I came home with 2 wigs, and net stockings.
I was a punker and drum roll please................

In case you can't tell

Doug

was

Magnum P.I.

That's right!

We gave the mullet wig a trim and fashioned a stache for him.
In this picture my black makeup is quite worn off, but the lips were pretty black and the eyes...fright full.
Some people's comments were "wow, scary Carol." (in a very disturbed voice)
others practically wet their pants when they saw us.
Some, didn't even know who we were (that was the best, sometimes you don't really want to claim what you put together!)
The party was awesome! We are so going to dress up again, but hopefully with much more planning and thought next time!
Oh ya, and the kids obviously looked really cute too. But this isn't really about them now is it!

You guys look so cute! Eric and I have never dressed up. We spend so much time on the kids costumes we don't do anything for ourselves. You've inspired me though!
