Happy Halloween! Let's Look Ridiculous Together!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

If you know me at all, you know that I pretty much loathe Halloween. I'm NOT a fan of scary movies, commercials, costumes, vampires, darkness, night, mean people... You get the point.

Some people are all, "OH EM GEE I love Halloween, it's like, totally THE BEST holiday ever!!" And I'm all, "Ok, weirdo... I don't like being scared, I like happiness, sunshine, and rainbows."

I will say, however, that when I check out at Publix with my GIANT bags of delicious candy, when the cashier says, "Wow! You must be expecting a ton of trick-or-treaters!" I always respond with, "Yes. Totally. I LOVE Halloween. Now put the candy in the bag as I walk away slowly." I never mention that I live off a highway, and that the first time I trick-or-treated was when I was 15. Not important.

This year, I am so excited about Halloween! Why? I'll tell you!

CANDY! 

(I know I already mentioned that, but come on. It's awesome. No trick-or-treaters = candy all to myself. Hello, shows that I've taped to avoid scary commercials!)

COUPLES COSTUMES!

This year, I have a fiancé. This means that I'm not scared to force him to dress up, because he already admitted he wants to marry me, so it's fair game! Welcome to the next 97+ years of your life, BABE! 

Or should I say....

DR. SHELDON COOPER!

That's right! For an awesome Halloween party that my boss invited me to last Friday night, we went as Sheldon and Amy (Farrah Fowler) from the Big Bang Theory!

Kevin and I, or should I say, "Shamy" were very successful in our representation of the fabulous couple! We rocked those costumes. I'm still trying to find a photo of us, I'll post it here as soon as I do! (We tried finding costumes at the store, but homemade ones are so much easier! On a side note, I found out that a "Large" at the costume store is actually a child's size 4T, and should not be worn in public. Seriously, people.)

Tonight, because it's actually Halloween, we will be dressing up as yet another amazing couple, Katniss & Gale from the Hunger Games! Super easy costume, because I had everything already in my closet and "borrowed" my niece's Brave Bow & Arrow set. (Ok, so I bought it for my costume and plan on giving it to her later. Don't judge me.)

I'm Katniss at work today, so if anyone gives me crap I'm just going to roll my eyes and maybe punch them. A few people said I actually looked like J.Law, (Jennifer Lawrence? She plays Katniss? Catch up, will you?) and I seriously almost started crying. She's amazing. 

Being in love means doing things you sometimes hate. Smiling. Watching an action movie. Looking at fishing stuff. (OMG How many different fake worms do you actually need??) Dressing up together. 

Kevin has been such a sport about the whole ordeal, after the initial resistance. You know, to prove he's "a man." (If I were a bad fiancé, I'd mention that he's worn his Sheldon 'Flash' t-shirt not once but about 43 times since the party... but I totally won't.)

Have fun dressing up and stay safe! We'll be trick-or-treating with a little Doc McStuffins (Madisyn, although Kevin would try to wear that outfit...) tonight, and I'll be doing quality control on the candy that she collects. You know, because I want her to only have the best. 

What are your amazing Halloween costume ideas and plans? Can't wait to hear all about them! If your significant other does dress up, make sure to take A LOT of pictures. You'll be happy you did!
