Costume Craze

It's no secret that Brendan and I practically jump at any opportunity to dress up in costumes. We are complete suckers for a theme party. 

Tacky Christmas Sweater Party?   Check.

Luchador Olympics?   No problemo

 

St. Patrick's Day?  Done!

 Murder Mystery Party?   Killed it! 

(pun intended)

Naturally, it should come as no surprise that we BOTH love dressing up for Halloween. What's not to love?! It's basically the world's largest costume party. Finally a day on the calendar where it's socially acceptable to dress up like complete fools and still be (somewhat) respected by the general public.

As we prepare for this year's festivities, I thought it might be fun to take a stroll down memory lane and explore the crazy costumes of yesteryear. 

2007: 80's Duo

 This was our first Halloween together and certainly one for the books. We literally jazzercised our way through the streets of Orlando.

2008: Nerds

We sort of dropped the ball on this one, thus the last minute trip to Goodwill/Dollar Store for whatever was left. (plus that super cool Styrofoam parrot hat)  Brendan left the house hating his outfit, but I convinced him that we were the most awesome nerds ever. Also, we got to dance like Elaine from Seinfield all night long, so that made up for things. 

2009: DJ Lance Rock and Brobee

No, we don't have children.

Yes, we *occasionally*  watch Yo Gabba Gabba.

2010: Tony the Tiger & Two Scoops Sun

This was honestly my most favorite Halloween ever. Group costumes are the best! 

We sure did give General Mills a run for their money. We had Tony the Tiger, Captain Crunch, Lucky Charms Leprechaun, Honey Bee, Trix Rabbit, Tucan Sam, Sugar Bear, Two Scoops....even vintage Boo Berry!  Check out the entire crew: 

2011: Superman and Wonder Woman

Classic couples costume. It was our duty to serve and protect the people of 

Church Street that night. Plus... Brendan loves wearing capes, so this was a success.

 

2012: Guess Who?!

This was another great group costume and a crowd favorite!

 You can't fake this kind of fun people!

Halloween doesn't have to be just for kids. It can be for the 'big kids' too. 

 

As for this year's costume....Stay Tuned!
