Abby and Cooper's Costumes

Vampire by wwywblog

I tried to get Cooper to do his own costume, but he didn't want to do a costume at all...mumbled something about being g-hey like Ken, so I made him wear a skeleton t-shirt and be my vampy minion. I, being completely embroiled in the Twilight series of books right now, chose to dress as a vampire. I got stunning gold contacts to wear, beautiful realistic fangs (even though they don't really have fangs in the book...but no one would know what I was otherwise) and donned the obligatory black, whore clothes. :) I powdered my skin to match yours and I also brought a red sharpie to give people "bite marks". Watch out Bo-Peep!! You look tasty!!!!

Steph and Kennedy's Halloween Costumes

I love charity events, but I don't love being scared. So I'd dress as a friendly and cute Little Bo Peep, complete with pink boys, blonde wig, and grown-up Mary Janes. My little man, Kennedy, would be my sheep, complete in a shearling coat. We will raise tons of money for charity and hope to see you and Cooper there! What are you guys wearing? Happy Halloween!

...To a Halloween Charity Event

You are attending the ASPCA's Halloween Gala. Your gallent date, Kennedy, also needs a costume. What will the two of you wear? Will it be a couples costume? Or will you each fly solo?

What would you (and your dog) wear to a Halloween event?

Abby's Puddle Jumping Gear

creek ware by wwywblog

Ahh...this brings back memories! Although instead of being barefoot like I was as a little girl, I will wear some high rubber boots with a fleece lining. Knee high socks, worn in jeans, a long sleeve t-shirt topped with a plaid shirt and a quilted vest. A cheeky hat keeps my head warm and the earrings can be used as a fishing lure if needed ;)

...to Explore a Local Creek?

The field research team at The Ohio State University is conducting a sampling of local creeks. Your name has been referred to them as someone interested in the health of rural water passageways. They have asked you to join their team (and here you thought the only team OSU had was on the football field, maybe you can learn to love this university afterall) and spend a day exploring a local creek collecting water samples and looking for signs of life.

This is the creek you are going to help research

As you walk downstream, you come upon a small foot bridge you must cross

After crossing you arrive at the spot where you are to secure water samples and look for wildlife

Jackpot! You pick up some crawdaddies as they scramble around in your hands.

What would you wear to spend a day exploring a creek?

Steph's Irish Countryside Clothes

For a day tracing family roots and drinking Irish beer, I'd be sure to be prepared. I'd wear sturdy, but adorable wellies to handle the moss and mud as I explored the old land. I would need a warm cable-knit jumper to help fight the Gaelic chills and thick tights to keep my legs warm. I'd want to explore the land on two wheels to better breathe in the country air and really feel the magic of the land. I'd be sure to tote a messenger bag with camera, map, and a weathered copy of a James Joyce novel. I would greet all with a rowdy "Top of the morning to ya..." as I pedaled past them and smile as they replied "...and the rest of the day to you."

...On a Perfect Irish Day?

You have arrived at your inn in Kilarney, your first stop on your trip to research your family tree.

You go to the county records office which is in a lovely old house with a thatched roof. A little old lady with a thick brogue and a mischievous twinkle in her eye brings you a cup of tea and adds another log to the fire that is keeping away the chill.

Your search shows that your great great great grandfather grew up a half hour drive from the town and you head out to take a look and there is still a run down little building on the property, but no one lives there anymore, so you take some pictures and head back to town.

You go to the pub for a pint and some lamb stew that is served with a crusty roll. mmm...

A couple of people pick up some instruments and start playing some drinking songs. You remember the words from your nana singing them and join in :)

What would you wear to have a perfect Irish day?
