not about my kids

it's all about ME. WONDERFUL GLORIOUS ME! actually it is late Sunday night and i have finished Tessa's birthday/Halloween bash. when i was getting her "Halloween/birthday balloons and making her cemetery cupcakes", i started wondering how much longer she is going to let me get away with this. anywhoo, busy busy weekend, and i am starting with Friday...

 we were invited to a 1920's murder mystery surprise birthday party. no kids allowed, they were left at grandma and grandpa's.

come on, how cute do we look? i actually hate doing costumes halfway, i have to do the FULL EFFECT! go big or go home. and since no one believes him (we had everyone saying that it couldn't be real all night) IT IS ALL FULL ON REAL BEARD.

my sisters and mom were in love with the hairdo. i actually thought i did a pretty darn good job and may just use this look again.

so, i ask everyone, HOW DID I NOT WIN BEST COSTUME?! i had the hair, the makeup (thank you MAC), the dress. i am mad.
