Halloween

I’m doing pretty good to have my Halloween post only a few days after the actual holiday.  However, I should admit that our first Halloween party was actually on the 22nd so I guess, really, this post, almost two weeks later, is right on time in my world.

Our neighbors, Steve and Tawnya, have adopted Halloween as “their” holiday to go all out for.  And boy do they! 

I borrowed Chelle’s cowgirl gear – shirt, hat, boots, belt, and gun – to make my costume.  The only thing of mine (besides my unmentionables) was the skirt.  The McHusband chose to wear a complementary costume.  He borrowed a hat and bought a belt buckle and shoes that would look Western enough for his purposes.

What do you think, did they work?

Both shoes were supposed to be like the one on the right.  He wore the shoes this way to the party that night (since we discovered the shoes were more fraternal than identical about 10 minutes before the party), then he exchanged the brother-from-another-mother the next day.

Enough about the shoes.  Tada, here we are!  Cowgirl and…Kenny Chesney.

And here we are giving our serious looks.  Because we’re hardcore country folks with septic tanks and no sidewalks in our neighborhood.

Much like Halloween the movie, this post is going to have several sequels.  Probably not quite as many as the movie (I think I counted 5 sequels/prequels/spinoffs), but I’d guess at least three since we had two parties and I made two treats.  Oh, and I almost forgot that I’ll have to show you my decorations.

Hmm, maybe there will be as many sequels as the movie after all…
