So Halloween...I typically go all out with my costumes becoming essentially unrecognizable, but this year I either didn't have the energy or the creativity because I just couldn't come up with ANYTHING! Everyone at work, students and staff alike continually asked me 
what my costume would be this 
year. They anticipate something impressive because of what I've transformed into for past Halloweens and even my various spirit week costume creations. This year I finally created something around 6:00 the night before and although it wasn't as extravagant as prior years it still made people smile and laugh...that is all that matters in 
the end! I went with the idea of nothing... and created a hobo! I searched for some old clothes and began ripping, tearing and cutting (even the shoes so that my toes could pop out!). Then in the morning i used various shades of brown eye shadows and bronzers to create a "dirty" face and neck look. The outfit was topped off with miss-matched gloves from the '80s I'd found in Mom's coat closet, a hat and a hobo bag on a stick. At work I was welcomed by "Lucy", of the show I Lo
ve Lucy who is really a friend/coworker of mine named Katie...she too tends to go all out with her costumes--never dissapointing! The best part of my day was after work when Mindi dropped by to show off Morgan's pumpkin princess 
costume!!! She is getting so big and she is completely adorable! Morgan is quite mesmerized with Baylie and continually grabbed onto her fur and 
one time she ripped out a couple of handfuls! Luckily, Baylie is easy going...she hardly even reacted when she was getting plucked and she was a good sport to pose for so many pictures with Morgan on her Halloween debut! Oh, yes and just for fun I've attached some of our past costumes just so you can see what I've been talking about when I say "all out"!
