as of wednesday, we had no idea what our costume would be. on thursday we did some quick craft shopping and recruited jb and girlladyfriend. and on friday and part of saturday, we made these little beauties. no, we're not coptic red riding hoods - we're matryoshka dolls!
it wasn't a fun process, i must say. the four of us had a bit of a collective meltdown making them. no one knew, or could agree, on how it should be done. at more than one point, ann and jb checked out of the process and worked silently on their computers (and making this hilarious photo as a result).
but i think the end result, costume-wise, was really good. and the four of us are totally fine and had a good time that evening.
as usual, everyone else made us giggle with their costumes. some favorites:
the king and queen of hearts:
the greatest american hero, with his date carrie:
publishers' clearinghouse winners:
