In costume!

Ok, so I really never get dressed up for Halloween these days.  But I always see lots of parents who do and I think to myself, we should really do that.  So this year we got an invite for a Halloween party through a family at Pip's kindergarten.  The invite was very encouraging to wear your costume, so much so that I assumed adults would be in costume too.

Nope.  Not even the hosts dressed up.

But I did.  And I made Phil dress up too.  All I can say was that being the guy from Up was a better choice than the Japanese geisha I was planning to be, before I become concerned that it was racially insensitive.  Phil was dressed up as a rugby player, so while he was clearly in costume, I think he felt kinda at home with the black eye.

Once I got over -- or rather, forced myself to ignore -- my embarrassment, I was able to have some fun.  Here I am with the kids doing the hokey pokey!

Meg thought I was pretty funny in those glasses and kept staring me down!
