Just got home from the ward chili cook-off and costume party.
Hayley worked hard all morning and afternoon to finish up the costumes in time. Matt helped for about 5 seconds. I refused to do any of the real work of the costumery, except for the hoods. I did those. But the eyes and nose on the dog costume were mostly by Hayley.

Lots of people of all ages at the party recognized the characters.
During the fashion show portion of the party, when Gabby, Hayley and Matt came out, they got a huge round of applause. Then the three yelled out, "What time is it?" and everyone yelled "Adventure Time!"
EJ asked me to make him a costume for the ward party. This is what he wanted me to sew for him:

Then there was Paul. He came up with his idea five (5!!!) minutes before he had to leave. He originally wanted to sew a vest, but we convinced him to let us cut up an old shirt of Jim's instead.

Jim refused to dress up.
I had a black dress and a witch's hat and some green makeup:
I had lots of fun passing out candy for the trick-or-treat event at the party, but I am ashamed to admit that I did not take any pictures of the room I decorated, especially my wax hands, which I had placed over flickering electric candles. They looked very spooky.
Time for bed. Happy almost-Halloween!
