Happy Halloween, from Mr. & Mrs. Potato Head!

Ryan and I didn't really plan on dressing up or doing anything for Halloween.  Then, Thursday night we decided to make costumes so Ryan would have something to wear to his work party and for our little Halloween get-together with the Scott's on Saturday.  After little debate, we agreed to be Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head.  Let's just say we stayed up waaaaay past our bedtime to get this done on time for Ryan to wear to work the next day.  But it was totally worth it for these pics: 
Here's the Mister hopping on his trax ride into town, lunch sac in hand:


Don't be fooled by this picture... trax got a lot more full as the ride went on!  Ryan definitely had some admirers.

Still not sure how he worked all day like this, but he did:

We won't even tell you what time in the night (morning) this was taken at, and please ignore the costume mess in the background:

The final product: Mr. & Mrs. Potato Head:

The Happy Couple's first kiss caught on camera.  It was great (our eyes say it all):

After a little trick-or-treating with the tough little soccer player (Tyler) and kitty-cat ballerina (Susie) around the neighborhood, Ryan and I headed out to meet up with Hannah Montana and Billy Ray Cyrus for dinner and carmel apples.  It was a total party in the U.S.A. Chili's Restaurant.

In case you're wondering, it really WAS as uncomfortable/awkward as it looks.  But totally worth it.

How in the heck did you make those costumes B? You are AMAZING. Really, seriously, honestly. You two looked fab and I wish I could have seen you in person (and I wish I could have seen the faces of the other passengers on the train!) Glad you had a great Halloween. I miss you!

I love all the pics! Especially the one of Ryan getting on Trax. It must have been so funny to walk onto the train and see Mr. Potato Head sitting down.
