I Rarely Look This Good

Lest you believe, based on my last post, that I have finally lost my marbles, let me assure you that that actually happened a long time ago. I hope I didn't scare anyone off. What can I say? My dear friend Alice has a passion for potassium, and she gets jazzed-up over jaunty jingles. Having been dubbed Diana Banana as a child, I felt obliged to indulge her in celebration of her 61st birthday. I thought she deserved a few extra laughlines.

Anyway, after witnessing firsthand one of my brief yet all too frequent lapses into inexplicable insanity, you probably won't think a thing of me posting our Halloween photos seventeen days after the fact. And if you do...well, hey, it's my blog and my life and if I want to mail my Christmas cards in January, I will, by golly. (Not that I would actually ever do that.)

I can't resist. The costumes were just that good.

I think I've found the secret to a successful Halloween---think up a brilliant theme and then find creative, unsuspecting workhorses to execute it, those poor fools being my sister and better half, as usual. And so, without further ado, I take you from the country of Spare Oom to the magical land of Narnia...

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
