Spencer's facility, some scary stuff...

Today Carly, Farrah, Hudson and I went down to Spencer's facility for a little Halloween fun. Spencer's facility has this "parade" of costumes every year - they all dress up, but it wasn't going to be until 2pm, which we all know is nap time... so we went at 11am just so we could show everyone how cute Hudson the Lion and Farrah the Robin were.
So let me back up to stage this story. I have been making this outfit (scarecrow) for Spencer for the past couple of days when I find a min here or there... not to bad actually - the finished product. So this morning as Spencer was about to head out he came to me, as I was laying in bed - I know lazy. He said I was in a delirium, but really I wasn't - it was 7:30... I wasn't talking to him in my sleep. He would say anything to take the "blame" off him at this point. he he. So I told him how to "put" together his outfit. I then explained to get the brown face paint and do a triangle over his nose. (you know since the nose is a slight triangle itself). Off he went! So at 9am this morning I get a call from him telling me to get the kids ready fast and to bring the other part to his costume, he had decided that dressing in this outfit wasn't too bad. So I told him I would do my best. After nailing my child to the ground and forcing his costume on yet again, we arrived. I came in the to find my husband like this:
Okay - any one sense a problem with his "triangle" nose? Both Carly and I looked at him and I tried not to make a "big" deal about his nose - I tried to not even comment, since I didn't know if he put his makeup on or someone around me had done it for him. I really wasn't too worried about him as I was someone else's feelings. So I kind of muttered under my breath "we need to fix your nose". We went into his office with Carly, and I said "Spencer what on earth happened?!" Carly busted out laughing and I thought we both were about to cry from laughing at him. Mostly for the fact that he had no idea. It honestly, I am being true here, looked like he had rubbed his nose in a piece of poop. It wasn't only that the nose was a almost an oval as it was how thick he put this brown face paint on, it was chunky. All Carly and I were thinking was "POOP". It was one of the more hilarious things today - it may have taken the cake. So after he washed that poop off his nose I fixed it:

Much better.
Once we got his costume on and were done laughing out loud we walked out and no kidding, I would say close to 5-6 people commented on how Spencer got a new nose and that it looked a lot better. Yes, we did agree with them.
So Spencer took Hudson around and Carly carried Farrah and we showed everyone how blasted cute these two were.
Farrah all smiles as a little Robin


My big Scarecrow and little Lion, Dorthy didn't have time to produce her costume, me.

Rockin' Robin

I love it!

Happy Halloween!!!

What was wrong with the first nose- I thought it looked great...NO
Are you kidding me Spencer, what were you thinking! Actually, it was probably something I would have done as well. It did give us a nice laugh tonight!

Abram just said to me, "I don't see what was wrong with his first nose. I don't get it." Seriously.
