Happy Halloween

It's hard to believe another Halloween has come and gone. My earliest Halloween memory is from when I was probably about 4 years old. I remember dressing as a bride and insisting on wearing these fancy high heeled shoes. My parents told me not to wear them...it was icy that year and they thought I'd slip and fall. I remember my mom wanting to put me in gym shoes and the idea was just absurd! The shoes were half the costume! So, I'm sure I threw a fit, and I got to wear the fancy shoes. Sure enough, I remember vividly...I slipped and fell on the hill of a driveway. I think it was then I first learned that my parents might not always be wrong!

High school Halloweens meant dressing up with friends, Senior Halloween Costume contests and being "too cool" to trick-or-treat.

College Halloweens were all spent visiting Anne and friends at Ohio University. The Halloween parties there were just too much fun. Those were probably my favorite Halloweens.

Since college, I'm not sure I've had a fun Halloween, until this year...Saturday night was our night to party, so...

Kevin and I decided to dress up at the last minute. I googled "adult last minute halloween costumes" and after a few questionable ideas, I found the idea to be a double rainbow. In case you haven't seen the YouTube video, take a look here (or watch below). So, I raided our closets and found every color of the rainbow for each of us to wear. We piled on the clothes and headed out for the night. We went down to the Mad Hatter, watched a few bands, hung out for a bit. Then we picked up a friend and headed to a Halloween party. We spent the rest of the night at Kelly and Kelly's house...they know how to throw a good party. We played flip cup, took silly pictures, ate a lot of food, ate a lot of candy and just had a crazy good time. I felt like I was in college again...hanging out with good friends, having a good time. It was a blast. Here a few pictures from the party....

On the actual day of Halloween, Kevin had a show at Madison Theater. I offered to help him work that day because he also had a show at the Mad Hatter, so he needed some extra help. I was a runner and spent the day making trips to Kroger, Starbucks, and PF Changs to feed the bands. It was bit stressful, but I had a great time and all the people I was working for were great. I received detailed instructions and knew what I had to do. I don't think I messed too many things up either! We went out after the show and celebrated Halloween [again] hanging out with good friends and fun bands at Sidebar. I really can't complain about anything that happened this Halloween. It almost gives me hope that I might have a good New Year's Eve for the first time in years too! We'll see...

Here are some pictures from the show:
