Halloween Fun?!?!?

It's amazing how stressed a person can get trying to use the imaginative part of the brain. Coming up with Halloween costumes is NOT my strong point! (Especially when the idea of paying oodles of $$$ for a one night showing is not high on my "things to do list.") So, Friday afternoon, Steve and I ended up driving down to Idaho Falls, looking for something to pull off for a costume party...that was at 7:00 that night. We decided on Deal or No Deal's Howie Mandel and one of his silver case models. Steve wasn't too big on taking the Bic razor to his head, (chicken) but bald caps are nearly impossible to find around here! And...on top of all the searching, stress, and whole $2.99 spent, no one even knew who we were anyway. More, we didn't even get a picture of the two of us. What the ??? So, on with the slide show - of friends!


The party hostess shared an extremely spooky, spine shivering story that had us all on the edge of our seats. It included haunted houses, dares, ghosts and a group of young boys getting the @#$% scared out of them. The story was really not that dirty, so-to-speak, and actually ended with the frightened boys running home so fast that all of their trick-or-treat candy melted down their clothes, including their underwear. Our job, as guests of the party, was to find out what kind of candybars they had, melted in their underwear. I just thought I needed to explain the pictures of everyone holding XXXLarge men's underwear with quite questionable stains on them. And maybe no explanation was needed, after all, it is Halloween...

So, we want to know...did Steve end up shaving the head?? Is that why he was so camera shy??

And by the way...forget about the questionable underwear...I'm curious about that beverage you have sitting in front of you?? :O} Casey wants to know if we need to send up another carrot cake??

Bring on the carrot cake!!!
Oh crap! I didn't know the bottle was in the picture with me! Hah! It was an Ashton party, come on people. Strictly O'Douls baby. The non-alcoholic beer that the wanna-be's drink. I personally stuck with the Orange Crush in a bottle. I'm not quite sure what the purpose of the non-alcoholic stuff is. Seriously, people don't drink the real stuff just for the taste, right? One smell from the one sitting there by me and I about gagged!

So you never did say if Steve shaved his head. If he did, post pictures!!!! I finally figured out a costume for Wes and I, but I don't think he's too keen on the whole dressing up bit.

No, Steve didn't shave his head. That bald cap was the big $2.99 purchase. Talk about cheap costumes! And trust me, if he would have shaved, they would have been posted!!!
