When you find the first paw print...

You'll get the title after I explain our super awesome Halloween costumes. Unless you know the song, then..well...you win a cookie.

Before I start, do you like the new layout? I'm trying something a little more simple, but not entirely sure if its for me. It'll probably change again. I've been changing it the past 2 days straight in case you were wondering why it's different every time. I'm so indecisive so it might take a while to find the right layout.

Ok on to the day of the dead!

This Halloween, I really wanted to do something cute, cheesy, and couple-y. I just used the word 'couple-y', please don't unfollow me. Anyway, I surfed Pinterest for WEEKS and came up with a couple ideas:

Mr. and Mrs. Pacman (Suuuuper cute, but very labor intensive, probably hard to move around in, and a little pricy)

Struck By Lighting (Easy, only needed to make the lightning bolt and umbrella)

 Johnny Cash and June Carter  (I just love the movie Walk the Line, so I was down)

Dexter and his Victim (Saran wrap dress? Check yes!)

I was sooo torn! I actually really wanted to be Avatar and paint ourselves blue, but Ryan insisted that we both have 6-packs before we step outside half naked. Good call babe.

Halloween was approaching and I still hadn't gone to the Lowes to get the stuff I needed for Pacman (I was fixed on that costume). Well the day comes around and STILL NO COSTUME. So I'm googling and looking around and I find the PERFECT one.

Can you guess? She's blue, leaves paw prints around the house as clues, and her owner is named Steve. I'm sure you know, but if you don't....

We're STEVE and BLUE from the kid's show Blue's Clues! You like??? Yeah, I loved our costume and we got so many compliments on it. I'm not sure how I'm going to beat this next year...

Here's a couple of pictures from the night in our signature poses. Don't you like Ry's makeshift handy dandy notebook?
Try a small green notepad, print a picture of the red thinking chair, add some red pipe cleaner, and there you go!

The costume was one of the easier DIY things I've ever done. Although, I do have to say, when you want a light blue dress/shirt/something/anything, its near impossible to find. I drove to Ross, Target, Walmart, and finally found this blue jumper for $5 at Marshall's. FIVE BUCKS YALL.

I cut the ears from blue foam and glued them onto clip-on cat ears I got a Party City. Uhh, that line was wrapped around the whole store. After, I just bought some dark blue felt at Michael's (about 7 sheets), cut out circles and spot shapes, and hot glued them onto the jumper.

I was going to just curl my hair and call it a day, until I walked by the perfect blue wig at PC and HAD to have it. It was the priciest item I wore (I think it was $17) but so worth it. I bragged about it all night and even tried to convince Ryan to let me dye my hair blue. He did NOT comply.

For Steve's shirt, I could not, for the life of me, find a striped light/dark green long sleeve, so I thought on my feet. I bought a normal green collared shirt at Walmart for $7, then duct taped the stripes with bright green tape. It turned out awesome and lasted all night. We added a name tag just in case people weren't sure who he was, but it wasn't necessary, at all.

I had so much fun making this costume and I think everyone (who used to watch the show) loved reminiscing about it.

I hope everyone had an awesome Halloween, annnnnnnnnnnd happy November y'all!

Love,

Steve,
Hot Dog,
Swat,
Strawberry Crush Soda,
the Tapatio Man,
a Firefighter,
(I don't know what the other girl was...),
and BLUE!
