Halloween 2010

This is part of a letter Kelly wrote to Ty the on Sunday.  "We went to the Ward Halloween Party last night.  It was a lot of fun to get dressed up.  Mom and I went to the Hospice on Clayton Road looking for costumes and didn't see anything, so then we went to Goodwill also on Clayton Road in downtown Concord.  We looked there forever, and finally came away empty handed.  So as I was pulling the car out of the back parking lot, I saw another store that said it was a thrift shop, so we popped in there and absolutely hit the JACKPOT!  Mom found an old blue-sequined 80's dress with a black silky skirt attached.  She said it was truly hideous and perfect for her outfit, so we asked how much it was and the guy says $2.00!  So then we start looking for something for me, and Mom walks out with this totally pimped mustard-yellow double-breasted suit that was in pristine condition and looking like it had just come back from the dry cleaners.  Amazingly, it fit absolutely perfect, even better than most of my tailored suits, so we asked the guy how much and he says, $4.00!  So, we had our costumes.  I added a white turtle-neck, some gold bling around my neck, a cool hat, some white sunglasses, a purple feather boa and a purple cane, and I was completely styling!  You have to see it to believe it.  Anyway, we had a lot of fun with it.  The funny thing was that I would see guys dressed like this all the time in downtown Oakland when I used to work there.  Rhett dressed up like Men in Black and Anika like a baby and of course they both came home with waaay tooooo much candy!"

Wish I had pictures of Anika and Rhett...Their too cool for picture.

  1. I love the costume. I definitely do the thrift costumes. I got the tie for Ben's costume at the DI and made my costume out of stuff from Nellies that mom got for me.
