'Tis only a facade

October is the best month EVER. I'm very excited that Halloween is coming soon. I'm not a huge Halloween advocate, but I still like it. Who doesn't like free candy? Not to mention COSTUMES! I love it when people get really creative with their costumes. Since I actually have a house this year, I think I'm going to throw a costume party. Our living room isn't that big, but we can make do for now. Dressing up as something else is so fun. In college, my roomie and I went a bit overboard with the whole dressing up for "Incognito," which was our BCM costume party. People probably thought we were odd. Who cares? We had a blast creating our costumes.

Here's what I've been in the past:

 A Ninja Turtle

A Siamese twin (We stuffed that dress with pillows! Ha ha)

The Holy Bible (Jennifer's Version) and my friend Manda was the holy "ghost"

However, I'm having trouble coming up with something creative for this year. Most of the time ideas will come to me just as I am drifting off to sleep. I can't count on that though. My ideas as of today are:

• Alice in Wonderland and the Mad Hatter

• Nancy Drew and ??? What could my hubby be?

• Curious George and the Man in the Yellow Hat...Cute! I think this one is my favorite thus far.

Do you dress up for Halloween? What is the best costume you've ever seen? If anyone has a creative and cute costume idea, please let me know!
