After

Another Trunk-or-Treat has come and gone.  

As promised, here are the "after" pictures of Mar's costume:

I tried the painted-on-bones technique, and was surprised at how uncomplicated it was.  Uncomplicated does not mean quick, however.  It was time consuming, but in the end, we were both satisfied with the result.

I wasn't quite as satisfied with the eyebrows.  They should have been more noticeably curvy.  Instead, Mar looked sad.  But wouldn't you be sad if you were a corpse bride?

We're still trying to decide what to do for the class party on Friday.  You can't wear face make-up (but I don't think they said anything about body art), and have to immediately remove your costume as soon as the parade concludes, so as not to interfere with a learning environment.  Maybe we'll paint, but most likely we will substitute a skeleton sock and glove.

Four scary girls and a banana.

Shi and Chey handed out candy.  Please excuse the poorly decorated trunk.  We were lucky to be there, chili, cookies, and candy in hand.  The glowing skull adds ambience, though, don't you think?
(And the blurry picture is purely for creepy effect.  Not.)

Lex and Hailey handed out the leftover cookies from the YW's cookie walk.

I went in my sweats.  Not necessarily intentional, as they were what I threw on after work (and a few errands), prior to chili making, cookie baking, chauffeuring, musical-cars playing, phone calling, costume finishing, body painting, and make-up artist-ing.  (I have to give a shout-out to my assistant-in-all-things Shilo.  She baked cookies, stirred chili, and ran upstairs and downstairs at my every request.  Without complaining.  I couldn't have done it without her.)  I wore them only because by the time I was finished with the aforementioned list of busy-ness, we were already late. 

What was I?

Exhausted.
