a blue ribbon couples' costume

Me and Chris dressed up as party hosts Beth and Mike.

The past few weekends have been pretty uneventful, but we did attend the annual Nelson Halloween Party on Friday night. This is the same party to which we went as Peter & Lois Griffin last year. This year, Chris came up with the brilliant idea to have a little fun with Mike and Beth, the party hosts, by dressing up as them. The focal point of the whole costume was Mike's "crappy yellow Jeep", which Chris replicated using a Dell computer box, some styrofoam discs, and a whole lot of spray paint and duct tape (in spite of which it still did not hold together very well). Despite losing a wheel, the Jeep made the costume and got him the first place ribbon for best costume.

My costume was much easier, and much more comfortable. Beth is an ER nurse at the local children's hospital, so all I had to do was put on a set of scrubs and hang a stethoscope around my neck. To our shock and amazement, two other guests also came dressed as Beth! I guess great minds think alike. However, they both wore generic blue costume scrubs and plastic toy stethoscopes, while my scrubs were purple and my stethoscope real - so as far as I'm concerned, my Beth costume was the best!
