Dustin bought 2 pumpkins with good intentions of carving them.....but that didn't happen! Next year!!
We did do a little decorating this year. I clean-sweeped Canadian Tire and took advantage of a gift certificate I had from Christmas and updated my Halloween/Fall/Thanksgiving decorations. I got rid of the old and outdated decorations I had from when I first moved out when I was 18.
And....best of all this year, we got dressed up. Now last year we were fortunate enough to dress up twice. This year it was just the once, but we had a lot of fun and the costumes ended up looking great. We went to the NCC community family dance which was great to see everyone and watch the kids dance and enjoy the haunted house!
It wasn't until a few days before Halloween that I decided I was going to quite waiting for Dustin to decide what he wanted to be and went ahead with picking a costume. My initial thought was to go as an old housewife, the 1950's kind that would be in a home economics book. With a perfect dress and apron, perfect hair, and rubber gloves.
Well this idea got my wheels turning on a different type idea. So in the end, Dustin and I ended up dressing up as ourselves.....an Old Married Couple. We thought this was a great spin to take considering we've not been married for almost 2 months now!! ha ha
It was the easiest costumes. We used our own housecoats and slippers. I borrowed my grandma's curlers and scarf and I found a quick tutorial online on how to make our faces look aged. Add some glasses, coffee mugs and a newspaper for Dustin and we were set.
Some people joked that we were old Mr. and Mrs. Farr and some even went as far to say we were Lloyd and Laurangel. Guess we each can see what we have to look forward to. It'll be neat to look back on these pics and see just how true it comes.
