If you haven't figured it out, we were Zombie Pride and Prejudice. Which I have not read, by the way. I love halloween. Most of all the costumes. I used to be really into haunted houses but I got over that after I cried at one last year. Anyway, I start thinking about my costume (and now Ben's costume) about mid-July. I had other ideas but this one came to me late one night, the quiet dark telling me I should be asleep, and it was just too good NOT to do.

And you know what will really make you hurt? These costumes cost us a total of $17.08. I bought the feather for half price at work (and yes, now it is decorating my workspace), I used my wedding dress (better than just sitting in the closet!), a top hat I've had for years, a vest from the thrift store, a hand-me-down evening coat, a strip of chiffon for Ben's cravat, and I made the monocle out of a key ring, a chain, and a piece of wire. The most expensive thing was the makeup. I should be on some Project Runway type show but instead of people sewing things whoever puts together the best costume at the lowest price wins immunity. Make it work people!
Our pumpkin was inspired by our neices' drawing, pictured below. Cinduv means "Kind of" (she was drawing different feelings) which we decided was how our pumpkin was feeling. We also thought it would be ironic and funny.
Hope you had an awesome halloween!
