Halloween

So because Halloween was on a Monday this year, and most of my friends had to work, I really wasn't planning on doing anything Halloween night. I was going to just stay at home and hand out candy (aka eat the candy) to the trick or treaters. So no plans, meant no costume/no fun. :( The institute wasn't going to do a dance this year but in place of it they rented out the roller dome in Nampa. I was really looking forward to a dance because in years past, its been the best dance they have all year, and roller skating for a couple hours while your in a costume wasn't appealing to me at all.

Well luckily I hung out with a friend of mine the weekend before and she convinced me to go with her to the institute activity. Problem #1: Since I hadn't planned anything for a costume I had no idea what I was going to do and I really didn't want to repeat a costume from the past few years. Where's the fun in that? Well with an idea my best friend gave me earlier in the month, I decided to take a stab at it. Problem #2: The shirt that makes the costume was out of stock everywhere. So what to do now?

Well problem solved! My very talented mother said she could make it super easy. She use to make mine and my siblings costumes when we were little all the time and I think she enjoyed making a costume again for me. So...with a little magic, and a wave of her fairy wand, she finished it and it turned out great!

Indiana Jones, 3 minions, a pirate, and a power ranger. The world is safe!

The friend (Ivy) who gave me the idea for the costume.

Afterwards we "watched"/hid under the blanket while a scary movie was playing. 

 I came home and my mom put this on facebook. I was 6 years old when the picture on the right was taken. My little brother was the blue power ranger that same year. 

It was a fun Halloween! I loved my costume! Thanks to my mom (for sewing/making my shirt at the last moment), Ivy (for the costume idea) and to Kim (for making me go).
