This was Tony's favorite costume this year, he thought it was pretty funny. I must admit that this one was the most fun to make and people instantly recognized me as the famous Marge Simpson. I think the hair gave it away! Many people I work with saw my hair coming before they actually saw me and were able to guess what I was, it was a great time!
First of all, I don't know how someone who smokes and drinks so much can get her eyeliner to look so good. Today was the first day of 3 costumes for "Halloweek" and Amy Winehouse was a good way to start out! I had this idea a couple months ago and thought it would be a great costume. When I googled "Amy Winehouse Costume" a million people came up who had dressed like her, go figure! I've also heard Cindy Crawford is dressing up like her this year, great minds think alike!
Tony and I went to the pumpkin patch today with our friends Eran and Jen and their son Noah. The weather was perfect for pumpkin picking! Apparently we weren't the only ones who thought so because the place was very busy with lots of festive families! 
Saturday night was my sister's birthday party and she had a two-team Scavenger Hunt Pub Crawl. Each team had 4 pages of things they had to go find at numerous bars in the Tri-Cities. Examples were "Picture of a bar stool" and "Dedicate and sing a karaoke song to the birthday girl" for numerous values of points. Our team ended up winning the competition by two points!!
Our friends Spencer and Monica were married this weekend in Sunriver. The weather was so beautiful and warm that this outdoor wedding was destined to be great! Spencer and Monica are originally from central Oregon but now live in Montana. They decided to marry right on the river, under a gorgeous Mt. Bachelor backdrop.
Will recognize these as "I'm watching football, don't bother me" warning stances. Don't get me wrong, there are many more and they come in a variation of relaxed looking states of mind. Do not be fooled!! A man interrupted while striking one of these poses is likely to attack unsuspectingly. Approach with extreme caution and bring food as a distraction if you must bother him in his natural habitat.
On 8.31.2008 people from around the world gathered together in race cities and in areas where they just wanted to be a part of history to run in the world's largest running event. I ran in Beaverton for my brother Brandon "Bran The Man" while he ran the same race hours later in New York. This was a pretty cool idea and a spectacular event, I can't wait to see all the official results!
