This is how we do it...

We DO know how to do costumes...

Andrew won 1st place in his work Halloween costume contest!

3 years in a row

2010 2009 2008We go all out...

See that scar on his head? Yes, it is cool, and we did it with rubber cement. We also did it on his arms, and mine (when we were practicing... You'll want to know that for later) SO... since I am a huge fan of dressing up for Halloween I went as the bride of Frankenstein to dinner with him that night. He was ALL OUT dressed up so I did my hair, and thought, hmm... since she has a scar going from ear to ear under her neck I will do the same thing... since the rubber cement looks good on Andrew, I will do it too.

I put it on.. a few minutes later it starts to tingle, then burn. So I call Andrew,".. did yours burn and tingle this bad?" He said that it kinda had so I left it on for a few more minutes.

Eventually I couldn't take it anymore so I took it off..

My neck was red and a little burnt, but I thought for sure it would go away, no biggie.

(This is the only picture we took that night, kinda hard to see..I know)

NOT THE CASE- Note to self. DO NOT PUT RUBBER CEMENT ON YOUR NECK!

Your skin is very very very tender! IT WILL BURN IT OFF!
and YES this would ONLY HAPPEN TO ME :)

So now that you know the story you won't see me and think I attempted suicide. I promise, it's not a rope burn. And no, Andrew didn't try to strangle me :)
Although I have enjoyed peoples reactions upon seeing me at the store, or at church..

Good news is, today when I woke up it looked SO SO SO much BETTER. SEE!!

There is hope that I won't have a nasty scar forever!

So we DO know how to make Halloween last :)
