A couple weeks ago we went to a Halloween party at our church. They do it a little differently here----no children allowed! It's an adult-only dinner party where everyone is assigned to a table and each table has a different theme. Our theme was the Olympics and we could NOT think of a costume. The only ones that came to mind were skin tight body suits or skimpy Speedos. A couple of hours before the party (!) we finally decided on:
Nathan as an Olympic Tourist. I tried to get some shorter shorts on him, but these was as short as he would go. We made a big camera out of a pop tarts box and he had some binoculars around his neck. Ha! He already had the rest of the ensemble in his wardrobe.
I borrowed an idea that my sister Chanda did several Halloweens ago when she dressed as a candle. But I called it The Olympic Torch. I used wire to make my hair stand on end and sprayed it orange. I was even able to rig a shining flashlight to stay in there.The hosts of our table:
A figure skater and her Russian coach
Another couple at our table.From the Caveman-themed table, Nathan loved it when this Caveman came in dragging his wife behind him:
From the Politically-themed table, she dressed as The Bailout
Willie-Wonka Table. The lady dressed as Violet rubbed eyeshadow all over her body!
The Young Single Adult Table did Alice in Wonderland. It was the first time I noticed that the twins on the right were really twins! I've only ever seen one at a time before!
*****Fast Forward to Halloween*****
I had grand plans of ordering Deacon's costume right after Halloween last year so I could get a good deal.....but I didn't do it. So then I decided to make one for him over the summer....but I didn't do it. Finally, I realized we already had the perfect costume!
I bought this "Baker In Training" apron and chef hat last month for $1 dollar. Deacon loves to help in the kitchen. We thought it would make a good costume. We put some flour on his face and gave him a bowl and spatula to collect candy with.
We only took him to 4 or 5 houses in the cul-de-sac, but that was enough.

He picked the one piece of candy he wanted and left the rest in the driveway.
