In search of the perfect costume...

Saturday came in a hurry.  I was well aware of the need to find a costume for the ward party that night.  I was pretty much in denial that I would ever dress up.  I really am not a fan of dressing up.  I just don't think I ever have been.  I made several calls to family and friends getting ideas of what in the world to be.  And the day continued to move on.  Pat had told me that I would be there that day, still pondering with no idea as to what I would be.  She told me that I would end up there, still after two months of knowing about the party, I would have no idea what to be.  Well I picked Bailey up, and off we went in search of the perfect costumes.  I went from thinking about being a mummy, a nurse, a hippie, a college student pantry, and honestly ended up being a pink lady from Grease.  Nothing original I know.. and the funny thing is that it was here at my house.  I had made a pink poodle skirt already, the only thing I had to add to it was some nice ked shoes.  Crazy!  And Bailey ended up being the best witch ever.  She wore one of Kristen's old witch costumes.  It was so cool!!!  I loved her hat...  It was perfect.  But wow!!!  What a funny day, just to end up back at home with our own costumes!!! :)  Well we got to the party and it ended up being a lot of fun!!!  I don't know why I go to all the trouble about worrying...  I know I am a worrier... it's not a good thing...  Worry about this, and worry about that... Silly honestly....  There was pumpkin carving, pie eating, and a bake off.  The dance was pretty fun...  The music was a little random... but what can I say... I love to dance....  We all ended up going to Apple Bee's after for a bite to eat... and that was fun.  We played Mow with a huge group of us, and it was quite the night!  The Phillie's were playing in the World Series in the background so it was a happening place...  Bailey slept over that night, and we fell asleep talking about how great the evening was...  zzzzzzzz
