This is Halloween

And so, another Halloween has come and gone. Let's see what I was up to this year, shall we?

Once again, Jetta competed in the pet costume contest. He was up against over 100 other adorable dogs and sadly did not win (like he did last year). He did, however, look absolutely adorable as a mechanic.

(Of course we had to match. I wore my younger brother's mechanic outfit and we both had fake tools and tool belts.)

Friday night, Samir and I went to two parties. I let him decide what we'd dress up as, since I had (slightly embarrassing) plans for us for Saturday night (more on that later).

(Samir was Shaun, of Shaun of the Dead fame, and I was a zombie he fought. Since they were very last minute costumes, the fake blood was actually food color, my outfit was made up of clothes I was getting rid of, and his "cricket bat" was a poster holder. Still, I thought we looked alright!)

And now, Saturday night. Samir's one requirement was that he didn't want to dress as a dog again. Okay. Fine. I'll just make him Chuck Bass.

That's right, we were Blair Waldorf and Chuck Bass from Gossip Girl! A whopping two people commented on our costumes, but whatever. Samir wore purple and I had a red headband, school girl skirt, red tights and pearl earrings. We even stayed in character. I made him get me drinks.

Also, our friends are pretty awesome:

(From left to right: Bill from True Blood [Sookie took the picture-you can see her in the 2nd picture], Cat, Alice, Chuck, Blair, Captain Planet, Cave girl, Rockstar and Gorilla. In the second picture, we don't actually know Beetlejuice - he just jumped in our picture. We were all very okay with that.)
