The other day Jacob and I were sitting on the couch talking about what we want to be next year (we’d already chosen more than 4 at this point) when he said, “why don’t we just make these costumes now and wear them out throughout the year- who cares if it’s Halloween or not.” Moments like that just make me wanna cry because they so prove in so many ways that he is the perfect man for me. He’s amazing.
Anyway, Saturday night was full of ups and downs, but I was determined to have a fantastic time as Tank Girl. I must say, in the end I had an absolutely fabulous night! I had Maya snap a few before we headed out in case I messed it up in the course of the evening.
I was really happy with how well my bulls eye t-shirt turned out since I painted it at 5 that night with poster paint, and thanks to my kickass friend Kim, I had the perfect goggles! The only thing I bought for this costume was the $5 bullet belt and hand grenade, I owned almost everything else and borrowed the few other things.
I was super impressed by this guy’s Rocketeer, especially when I found out that he made most of it out of duct tape.
Happily, a bunch of our regular goin’ out buddies were at the bar we ended up at.
On Halloween even a pirate and an octopus can be friends!
I’m glad that Jacob had the presence of mind to take these because they ended up being my favorite ones of the evening.
Thanks for reading! What were you for Halloween?
