Happy Halloween!

My office had it's annual Halloween Costume Contest and potluck lunch on Friday. In preparation, my sister came over on Thursday night with my nieces and we carved pumpkins and she put my hair in these lovely rollers. As a throwback to another era, I pretended to threaten Isaac when he got home from his gig. I mean really...how was I supposed to know where he'd been all night???


So here's the final product after an uncomfortable night in rollers. Unfortunately, due to the rain, the curls sort of went flat. But it was funny when I got to work and people didn't recognize me. Needless to say, I took third place (out of four). But personally, I think it was rigged.


After I got home from work my nieces, Ava and Charlie, came over to trick-or-treat and show off their costumes. Unlike many neighborhoods of Sonoma, we only had a total of twelve trick-or-treaters...which has left us with lots of candy that I'm trying not to eat.

One final, dramatic pose for the camera. Note the flip-flops...my heels had come off when I got home from work and were NOT, under ANY circumstances going back on my feet. I actually wore the shoes I wore at our wedding. (Who said I wouldn't ever wear them again? Well, now I have and I can officially say they are TOTALLY uncomfortable and can now go to Goodwill.) After this picture, the monkey went away and Isaac and I spent a relaxing evening watching bad horror flicks and waiting for the trick-or-treaters that never showed up. All in all..it was an awesome Halloween!
