This Halloween was cool because we were able to have the Arthertons come over, who are Josh's aunt, uncle, and cousins, and we all went trick or treating around the neighborhood while Josh's oldest cousin stayed and manned the door for us (and played Rock Band).
Falkor helped us carve the pumpkin
But Josh ended up doing all of the hard work
That pumpkin is one Cool Cat!Josh claims that it was my idea to be Mary Poppins, but since it's been 20 years since I've even seen Mary Poppins I find it very unlikely. Both of our costumes were probably the lowest maintenance that we've ever done. I just borrowed a blouse from my mom, knit a red and pink striped scarf, and bought a carpet bag on ebay. I stressed about the hat for awhile, but then decided it was too hard, and I also forgot to wear my white gloves, but I have a feeling this costume will see the light of day a few more times. Josh bought a hat from ebay and then the coat and broom from Goodwill. I put makeup on his face to look like dirt, and by the end of the night he looked bruised! This year all of the kids knew who I was and everyone had to ask Josh who he was dressed like (which was sweet revenge from last year when kids followed Josh around on the street and everyone thought I was Sleeping Beauty).
Just a handful of candy helps the medicine go down
Josh kept confusing the kids by talking in a cockney accent
"Mary is the only one that I love!"
Thankfully we only got treats, not tricks this year!(and Josh refused to take down the Obama sign to make room for decorations,
instead he taped it in a more visible place)

Love the window decorations. It's like you never have to leave the dorm rooms! I sincerely wish I had kept my "O" sticker. Also, awesome costumes.
At the Ferry Street house, we had dorm stickers for every window in the house.
However, they'd gotten quite dirty over the years... the one at our house now was purchased from The Duck Store and is much different from the rather thick, dorm "clings" that University Housing uses.
Sounds like you had a great Halloween. We had a fun time being Farmers with Bennett the cow (trust me pictures are coming soon) and then tonight we went to an adults only party (no it wasn't x-rated, just no kids allowed) and when we returned home we found that one of our pumpkins had been smashed. UGH! I was sad because it was Bennett's Mickey Mouse pumpkin. Oh well, I guess that's our trick for the year....at least we got a picture of it before it was destroyed. I'll make a post so you can see all the fun! :)
