This year, MJ and I decided to dress up as people who were inspirations to us. MJ dressed up as a pencil sharpener, which... yeah, I don't really know what the story is on that one. You'd have to ask her. I went as a receipt for a $16.95 shopping trip on which I saved $4.00. That was really inspirational to me because I bought cereal and milk that day. Breakfast!
Incidentally, most people just throw away their receipts, but those are easily recycled. We use them to make boxes for kittens.
Anyway, I'm posting a picture of our costumes. MJ's was so realistic, she looked just like a pencil sharpener! I pretty much just wore a white shirt and had to explain it to people, but you know, that's what makes halloween fun. Anything that involves long explanations is my kind of holiday (that's why I love Armistice Day).
We had lots of adorable trick-or-treaters. When I lived alone I never gave candy out because I just thought it was so awkward... you know, they say, "trick or treat!" and then I would never know what to say... I would invariably just apologize for not wearing a costume or ask how their day was. But MJ was super enthused about it, so I went along. Besides, when most people opened the door I think they ignorantly just assumed I wasn't wearing a costume, so MJ ended up doing all the talking. I'm fine with that. After it got dark and the kids were too afraid of getting mauled to come by the house, we went to Zach's famous party. More on that later.
Well I guess that's all there is to say for now!
