Halloween Fun

Adventures of Boo & Hoo!

At least that's what Momma called us once she saw a picture of Ruben and I in our Halloween costumes. :)

This year, I dressed as an Owl. I found this cute idea to make a little girls costume and adapted it for grown ups. I used scrape brown fabric from the wardrobe department. Then traced and cut out the feathers. I pulled out and used my new sewing machine at first, then decided it would be easier to attach the feathers with hot glue instead. (My new sewing machine is really awesome!) The shirt I found at Target on sale, and thought the colors were perfect. I also used thin craft foam to make some wings.

Here is a picture of the beginning of the process.

Ruben did not put very much effort in his costume this year, and decided to go as a ghost. He went to a thrift store and bought, not a sheet, but a bed ruffle. He asked me to cut eye holes for him, but I screwed up. So, hilariously to me, he was a lop sided ruffled ghost. I was laughing so hard, that the pictures kept coming out blurry. :)

Our neighbors John, and January hosted a great party on Saturday night. Here they are below, a very injured man and his ghostly nurse.

We had a great time hanging out and meeting some other neighbors from the hood.

January is good friends with a couple of Ruben's friends from Oklahoma, Matt and Russ. Russ is not pictured here, but Matt is the devil with Ruben the ghost. It was so fun to hang out with them, as we haven't seem them in forever!

Here's Ruben with Russ and Matt.

Here I am toward the end of the evening, with a Long Tall Texan behind me. I'm playing with one of my feathers. I got tons of compliments on my costume, and was thrilled how it turned out.

The rest of our Halloween was really quiet. Ruben had to work at his new job. He just got a job working as a day time bartender for a nice restaurant called "EATT." He had to be there at 8am to work brunch. We are so grateful that he's gotten a job that is understanding of his gigs that take up nights and weekends.


Below is a pic of the restaurant before it opened. (I found this on the Internet.)


Life is good and we are happy together. More fun to be posted this month. Stay tuned.
