Halloween at Work...

We celebrated Halloween at work today, because we have a night crew who's hours are M-Th 12pm - 8pm and are off on Friday's. So, we did it today in order for everyone to participate. I had no freakin' clue what to dress up as. One of my friends from work sent me a list of easy-to-make homemade costumes:
1) Get a roll of orange yarn and a few bags of roasted pumpkin seeds. Glue them all over a cheap orange sweat suit. Go as pumpkin guts.
2) Wrap yourself in a roll of orange felt. Cut armholes and put an orange ski cap on your head. Go as a carrot stick.
3) Throw a white sheet over your head, and cut a hole for your head to come through. Wear a yellow hat and paint your face yellow with make up. Go as a fried egg.
4) Dress like a mailman. Get a stuffed dog and sew it's mouth to your pant leg.
5) Get a large box. Cut a hole for your head and arms. Wrap it with gift wrapping paper and put a big bow on your head. Make a large gift tag out of construction paper that says, "To: Women, From: God." This year, you can honestly say you're God's gift to women.
6) Get a bunch of Barbie dolls and a black sweat suit. Attach the dolls randomly all over the sweat suit. You're a babe magnet.
7) Wear a black sweat suit and randomly attach single socks all over your clothes. You're the sock thief from the drier.
8) Paint your car or bicycle tires with black paint. Lay old clothes front-down on the street and drive over them. Let them dry, put them on and go as road kill.
9) Tie a sneaker to the top of your head, wear all pink and paint your face pink. Go as a piece of gum.
10) Dress as a dog and put a cardboard cone around your neck to keep you from scratching for fleas.
11) Get a rubber pig's nose and wrap yourself in a blanket. Go as a pig in a blanket.
12) Plaster yourself with name tags, using a different name on each, and go as a someone having an identity crisis.

Well, as I lay in bed last night... all these ideas were running through my head. I decided on #9.A piece of bubblegum stuck to the bottom of a shoe... You can't really tell, but it's a flip-flop fastened to my hat. (I didn't want to have to wear a heavy shoe on my head all day...) Everybody got a kick out of it. (I didn't win the contest, but it was still fun.) There were quite a few interesting costumes. One of the teams at my work has one guy and five girls, so they came as Warren Jeffs and the Sister Wives. One of the girls is actually about eight months pregnant, so it was pretty funny.
Another girl came dressed as a box of Franzia wine. (wine included) She made the box herself and it was actually pretty cool. One of the owners was a Samurai and the other was Sponge Bob. There was another group of five who dressed up as One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. REALLY CUTE. Medusa and a bunch of others....
Will has his work Halloween party tomorrow... His team is doing a group thing too. They are going to be the 'Rock of Love' cast... (with Brett Michaels from Poison) and Will was assigned to play 'Big John', Brett's bodyguard on the show. There are only two guys on the team, so all the girls get to dress up like skanks, I guess. LOL!

Anyway, it freakin' snowed on Tuesday (10/27) and it snowed bad. All day long! Redick has never really been out in the snow, so of course, we took him out. I don't think he liked it too much. He probably didn't know what to think of it.

This is a normal 'meal time' around our house. The boys always have to be right in the middle of everything. Have to know what's going on and what they might be missing out on. Dorks. They sure are cute dorks though.
