No, I'm not talking about
these debates. Nope, not at all. I am talking about something much more important. Much more entertaining. And so much more fun...
The 2012 Costume Debate
On Redds list:
- Russian Soldier
- Jack the Skeleton
- Indiana Jones
- Darth Vader
- Spy
- Viking
- Ninja
On Dallface's list:
- Sally (from The Nightmare Before Christmas)
- girl Darth Vadar
- girl Ninja
- girl Viking
- Monster High - Ghoulia Yelps
- Vampire
- Egyptian Princess
(apparently adding 'girl' on Dollface's list was a must...) So far the ninja's are winning, which is completely fine with me. Ninja costumes can be easy and inexpensive to make.
Really, I think they just want to be ninjas so they can add the cool ninja swords to their random toy/warrior collection. Can't blame them there.
I would love to have a really great, spook-tastic, hauntingly amazing Halloween bash this year, but quite a few of our friends here will be on leave and probably out of state. (click
here if you are confused) If we do end up having a huge bash, like I want, here a few great ideas I found on
Pinterest.
This one we will be doing for sure. I have an extra wreath at home, + Dollar Tree snakes + black spray paint also already at home = BAM Too Easy and you'll have a front door that even Madusa could be proud of.
This one I have actually been doing for years. This usually has a good response at our Halloween get-together, but not always. I swear, some adults just act to grown up. Grow Down! Since I am not entirely sure where my photos are of it, here is an example that I found.
Covering your chairs in black tulle. Hello, how easy is this and why haven't I thought of it on my own! Face Palm!
I don't think I will use orange as the ribbon color though, rather purple or black.
If I have learned anything about preparing for Halloween decorating, it is to stock up on cheesecloth and tulle and LOTS of it!
