Mary Poppins, Robin Hood, & the Jazzerciser
02nd
2009
My buddy Curtis (Bert) and I (Mary) at the Murder Mystery dinner
The murder mystery dinner was an absolute blast. Everyone’s costumes were so flipping awesome and hilarious, I died! Justin, as some of you guessed, was Robin Hood, but unfortunately we weren’t able to find him green tights. You better believed I tried though… what I would have given to have a lovely set of blackmail photos!
Lord knows, everyone on Facebook has plenty of my ridiculous costume they can use against me…
Justin ended up being a tasteful Robin, wearing khakis instead of tights & a felt hat I made for him.
Madeline’s costume was pretty simple… we pretty much had everything for it already. Though it pained me to put her in velcro tennis shoes (I cringe) and she wasn’t wearing a thong leotard, the Jazzercise costume did turn out pretty well.
Maddie as a jazzerciser
Do you know what the best part of Halloween was this year? Eating all Maddie’s hard-earned candy… in one sitting.
Oh, yes we did.
what a cute fam!
Maddie looks like she loves being in her costume, that is rare for a baby’s first halloween, well done!

How cute you all are! Especially Maddy. Alicia used to dress up for Jazzercise when she was about 6 and would work out with the Jane Fonda tapes.

[...] I came across Katie, who posted a comment on a Blog I read regularly – Morgan’s Mrs Priss. Morgan was blogging about a Halloween “Mystery Dinner” that her “Young Adult” group was having at her Church (Chim chiminey, Chim cher-oo). Everyone was assigned costumes that would remain secret until they showed up at the event. Morgan was to be “Mary Poppins” and her hubby was to be “Robin Hood”. Sounded like a Lot of Fun! (Their photos HERE) [...]

You did a great job with the Mary Poppins costume. Sounds like a fun time! And you’ve got at least 3 more years of eating her candy before she really catches on :)

OH MY GOSH! Maddie looks so cute! I love it! and you look great as Mary! I’m just slightly disappointed about the tights :) but the hat totally makes the costume.

You make such a cute Mary Poppins, it turned out even better than I imagined! Sad sad day that Justin didn’t find any tights, DANG. B/c you KNOW that wouldve been hysterical. But dude you totally saved the day with that hat!

I get baby crackers at Halloween for people who bring their baby trick-or-treating. I figure the babies can’t eat the candy, so I give something that they would like, especially since the candy would be taken by the parents.
Yes, this gives me pleasure knowing I have foiled plans *LMAO*
