Most Original Costume: Spy vs. SpySo I'm not actually delighted with this picture, but I'm waiting for further images to show up from friends. If all else fails, I will force Thomas back into the costume and invite people over to capture our glory on film. But I will say this: I won a costume contest. I'm so excited about this! I WON A COSTUME CONTEST!
When I was little, my mom fashioned the absolute best and most amazing costumes for us, year after year. We would begin making requests a year in advance, and believe me, we gave her doozies. Mom, I want to be a dragon. A caterpillar. A lion. I'm sure she was thinking, wtf is wrong with these girls? Why don't they want to be a nice princess? My mom's costumes won contests. Easily. So easily, our neighborhood stopped having a costume contest because my mom's costumes always won. But this I did all by myself. I love to dress up, and I think I've always made nice costumes, but this is the first time I've done something prize-worthy all by myself. Now, I know that it can't compare technically to my Mom's seamstressery, but still. I did this, and I am proud.
Here is what we won (the devilish one on the left):
What I love about this arrangement is that you can't really tell what it is the little guy wants. Is is the kids, or the mom? And who wouldn't want such a tableau in their bathroom to contemplate whilst pooping?

omg, you rule. those costumes are AWESOME!
Holy crap, that is fabulous. I'm envious -- I didn't even dress up this year! I did eat four fun-size candy bars whilst interacting with trick-or-treaters, though. So there's my holiday spirit. Or, uh, something.
that IS awesome!!
Thanks, guys!
Purchasing memory is such a chore... You have to Google prices, sort through which ones are legit, step out and walk around a bunch of stores,compare prices, finally buy your memory, and then fervently pray that the price doesn't fall in the next 2 weeks or so.
I've been done in by crazy price changes in the past... especially this one time when I bought a Micro SD card for my DS flashcard at what I mistakenly assumed was a steal, only to later see that it had dropped by five bucks in a week's time.
