So this year I was super ambitious and decided to make mine and Evan's costumes. I think they turned out very well. I decided we would go as Avatar Korra and Meelo from the cartoon Legend of Korra. If you have never seen that show or Avatar: The Last Airbender, you need to watch them! They are really good even for adults! Well here is a picture of what Korra and Meelo look like:
Okay so kind of a long story now. The week before Halloween Bean text me and said that she was sending the family a package to the parents house so "just a heads up" but then she said it was a surprise and couldn't tell me what. So of course I went crazy trying to think what could be such a big surprise she is sending. All I could think is that she is prego and is sending some ultrasound picture or something. But as I know she is on birth control and doesn't WANT kids right now, I doubted that was it. So anyway my mom text me on Thursday night to tell me the package arrived and that I should come by in the morning to get it. So I agreed but the next morning is when the carpet guys were coming in to put the new carpet in the downstairs bedroom and they were late so I had to wait for them to finish so I could pay them before I went over. My mom calls me wondering where I am, So I explain about the carpet guys and tell her I'll be over once they leave. She explains that Season is over too and that maybe we can all go to lunch or something so I should hurry over. I say okay and text her once I'm leaving. I get there and am carrying Evan inside and my mom is standing there pointing her camera at me. I'm confused. Out pops Bean herself, the little devil, her surprise package was herself and Josh. Yay!
So we hang out and go to lunch and play a game as a family and go to a movie (Pitch Perfect) The only snag is that they don't want Jake to know until the party tomorrow, Saturday, at Clint's house. So when he asks what my surprise was I play it off and say "Oh it was just some fun Halloween stuff which I actually left at my parents by accident." He totally buys it.
Fast forward to the next day. Jake has thrown together his last minute costume (Jersey Jerk, I will call him) Evan is dropped off to GGs house to spend the night and we are going to the party. I have been texting Bean and know they are not there yet, but are planning to arrive in masks so no one knows who they are. So we are there for maybe 10 minutes or so and the mysterious duo arrive. They are introduced as "some of Coty's friends, call them Red and Purple"
Of course I know who it really is and am shocked that no one else has immediately recognized them. But I play along. They will not talk because that would give it away so they kinda just hover being really creepy staring at everyone. After about 15 minutes, "Red" beckons to Jake to come over so Jake is like "Yo! You need something?" (He is talking in his character's NY accent) Red unmasks... WHAT?! OMG!!!
Cheers and happiness abound and everyone is honestly surprised it is them! So they get changed into their "real" costumes and fun commences the rest of the evening. Here's the costume round-up.
Bean made her and Josh's costumes. They are from the Sword of Truth book series. Josh is the main character Richard Rahl, in his War Wizard outfit, and Bean is a Mord Sith, who are like the protectors for Lord Rahl.
And here is the pics of Evan and I:
So I am happy with how they turned out. :)
