who are you going to call?

Ghostbusters??

Ha. Like our costumes? So do we! We made most of them the week before our little Halloween Bash!

We went to a sporting goods store and bought ourselves a bunch of feathers to use! We also bought a bag of leather for our headbands and bracelets and what not. We also bought a couple of oversize tee shirts for our costumes. Mallory took the collar of one and made a headband. HAND SEWING on every single feather. she's pretty freakin' awesome if you ask me. What we didn't use of the tee shirts ended up being the main parts of our costumes. I made a sort of butt flap, and Mallory made her Indian dress. Are we handy or what?

I hope your Halloween was as fun as ours!

We each did our own face paint...I think its pretty obvious whose looks better. Mal's was perfect. Mine looks like some child painted it on me.

How good does she look as an Indian huh? And how handsome do I look in those pants? I should look handsome. They are $1000 suede pants, and do not ask me how I managed to wear them or how much it'll cost to fix the rip I put in them. Check out our arm bands. Dank bro.

Our glitter skulls! These were so fun to make, but be warned they were just as messy. We bought these bad boys at WalMart for a few dollars each. Add a bottle of glue, a few old makeup brushes, our awesome imaginations and BOOM. Glitter skulls. They turned out way better than we had hoped. All you do is 'paint' the glue on the skull and cover it with glitter! A perfect family project, but don't do it inside, or Mallory's garage. It's mess mess messy. The silver and red skull was a group effort. The purple one with the gold tooth was Miss Mallory's.

Everyone needs to eat a donut on a string once in their life. Unfortunately all the stores had left were sugar glazed, and you just can't not eat a donut on a string on Halloween! There was no other option! Mallory and I had sugar everywhere. Up our noses, in our eyes, even in my wee little belly button! 

It's tradition in Mallory's family to play a little game at Halloween, called the Monster Mash. First, you get a nice toasty fire going. Second you write down a bunch of things to act out while you dance around the fire. Some of ours included, a Nazi, a werewolf, and someone who shat his pants(Mallory's Dad, Bill, picked that one out! Priceless!) Make them fairly obvious, but even more fun to act out. Lastly you play the Monster Mash song for all the neighbors to hear, and start your dance around the fire. Then someone tries to pick out what you were until everyone has been picked. It was my first time and I couldn't stop laughing. Thank you Hansen family!

We hope you had a great Halloween!

See you soon!
