Y’know what’s better than Halloween? DAY AFTER HALLOWEEN CANDY SALES.

Which I guess keeps balance and order in the universe because I am in that phase where I am too old to trick-or-treat and I don’t know anyone young enough to “supervise” their trick-or-treating. Therefore, sadly, no Halloween candy. Well, for at least 24 hours until I can get my hand on some sweet, sweet cheap candy.

I hope everyone had as good of a Halloween as I did, whether you dressed up or not. We spent the night eating the chili I slaved all day to make (don’t you dare decide to speak now, crockpot), downing jello shots, and listening to a lot of Le Tigre. If you take away the costumes  that pretty much sums up every house party we’ve ever attended.Which means it was AWESOME.

And speaking of awesome:

While I chose the classic Little Edie Beale, Ben went straight for my heart à la Zach Galifianakis from The Hangover. There is nothing I love more than a beard and some aviators.

I once went to a party where the theme was to come as who you wanted to be. I had a friend who went as a bride and dragged her poor boyfriend along with her (do I really need to tell you that didn’t last?). Anyway, Ben would have totally gone as a dad because he just considered this as a training costume (and because he is that baby crazy).

The idea seemed even more appealing when he realized the baby carrier also substituted as a beer cozy. Please note the pen marks on the baby’s head, too. What’s up, Goodwill find? It even had a working voicebox with crazy-creepy baby laughs and breathing sounds, which I am pretty sure contained a special message to Ben about procreating if you played it backwards. Good thing my costume was a form of birth control.

Sexxxy.

Our friends were equally awesome:

Tammy Faye Baker – I need to note that is not a wig and therefore receives extra points.

Quite possibly the best Halloween costume ever.

You boys like MEXICO?

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

What, your party didn’t have a leg booth?
