A glimpse into the future...

Our church had a costume party this evening--I know, it's one day late in the Halloween department. But last night was for the kiddos, so tonight the adults got to have a little fun. The theme was "the 70's". So Andre and I decided to go as ourselves...in our 70's! Unfortunately (as already addressed in my very first blog entry ever) I am horrible about taking pictures, so we only got a couple of ourselves. But, here we are, 40+ years older...





Gramps is gettin' a little frisky!

This was toward the end of the evening, so Andre had already started to lose parts of his costume. He started off wearing his geek glasses (big black framed ones--sadly, we had to run to his office to pick them up before heading to church because he actually wears them sometimes!) and carrying a newspaper. And you can't see his high-water pants or black socks with sandals in these pictures either. And of course, I had a "pocketbook" filled with crumpled Kleenex and hard candy, knee-high stockings rolled down Mama's House-style and clunky Naturalizer shoes. Gotta love the Goodwill for costume parts! But the true secret weapon of both costumes was the almighty water balloon--multiple balloons, to be exact!
