Happy (belated) Halloween! Part 1

As you may or may not know, Halloween is a pretty big holiday for us. We (or Noble, I should say, since I had very little to do with this part) went all out with the decorations. We even managed to creep a few people out with the decorations in our bathroom. Naturally, Martha Rose is no exception. She needed not one, but two different costumes. One is home-made and the other is store bought. Let me know if you can tell which is which.

This year was a bit sad for us, actually, in that we didn't get a chance to put up our decorations until a few days before the 31st. Those weekends away really wiped us out. We couldn't bring ourselves to take them down so soon after putting them up so they're actually still up. We figured that since we aren't celebrating Thanksgiving in Knoxville, and since half of our Halloween decorations end up becoming permanent installments anyway, that it wouldn't hurt if the indoor stuff stayed up a bit longer. 

Ellen and Kenzo had their annual Halloween party which we of course attended.


Here is Martha Rose, getting ready for the event by donning her little pig costume.

 She is holding a pig while dressed as a pig. Very meta.

We had to distract her so that she wouldn't immediately take off the pig ears.

 Martha was unimpressed by her costume:


 Martin managed to stop by to quickly check out her costume.

 And they shared a moment:

 Here she is posing with Ellen's Super Fly Keeper costume:

I thought Ellen's cake was suitably gory for the occasion.

This is one of Ellen's party decorations. It's a gruesome cornucopia. I told her it was good enough to pin on pinterest, which is what I intend to do.

We had so much fun at Ellen and Kenzo's that we committed to throwing our own Halloween party on Halloween night. But more on that in the Halloween Part 2 post.
