Once they had unpacked, out popped dad's traditional clown costume, fake rat and all to celebrate the occasion! Mom happily climbed into my strawberry costume. She chose to accent the costume with brown pants (mud) and a red sweatshirt (more strawberry) to make it her own. Aren't they cute!?
We had some errands to run, so here they are waiting patiently for my prescription to be filled. Use your imagination to fill in OctoElise sitting next to the strawberry for the full effect.. I think it's my favorite picture of the whole weekend!

JP chose to go as Leonardo, pulling it all together even at the last minute, but it turned out nicely and he was a hit downtown! Jeremy did crack that he was the skinniest ninja turtle he'd ever seen, but JP just used his ninja skills and defeated him.
I was, of course, an octopus. A cozy octopus with eyeballs that lasted for only half the night, but it sure was fun swirling my tentacles around!

i'm not gonna lie, the eyeballs look a bit like ears. but i bet up close they didn't and also the awesomeness of the octopus makes up for the ear-eyes. your parents' costumes are also awesome, of course. you have given me a full halloween experience through the interweb. thanks!
The first ones I got were like twice the size of those ones and looked like giant white earmuffs. It was hilarious, like a cold octopus trying to warm up the side of its head...
