Happy Halloween!

So last night was the ward harvest party. Prior to going to this party, it was mentioned many times that all costumes should be uplifting and not scary, and it was to be called the harvest party, not a halloween party. Suggestions for acceptable costumes were given like historical characters such as Joseph Smith, George Washington, or King Arthur. That made ideas for costumes a little difficult for Doug and I, and really, we didn't even start thinking about possible costumes until it was time to leave. So, in a mad dash I put on a flannel shirt, jeans and boots, braided my hair and called myself a cowgirl. Doug got on a pair of his tightest pants, v-neck shirt, this weird hood/scarf thing I got, parted his hair, threw on some glasses and we penciled on a little mustache. He was, of course, a hippster. Most people didn't get it, but I loved it. There were lots of cute families who put way more effort into their costumes than we did. Camie and James were Where's Waldo and looked great. 

 Wait, who is that hippster guy? 

 The Superman Family!

 This boy was completely compliant with the costume rules.

How can you not love that face? The Harvest Party was fun, but we don't have kids, so really, it was all kinda awkward for us since we just stood there and watched parents and kids running around. Luckily we ran into the Sadlers, another couple in the ward, and we were able to go out to dinner with them later that night. We got some delicious pizza at a local pizza place and Doug fit right in since we were in Uptown. That part of the city is known for the young college hippster scene. After dinner we went over to the Sadlers apartment and we played Bang and hung out and chatted all night. We didn't get home until 1:30! We haven't stayed out that late since before we were married! We had a great time though and were glad to spend time with friends!
