\"Wendy<\/a><\/p>\n

Let me begin with a little explanation of Wendy’s costume, because it’s somewhat conceptual. Okay, it’s totally<\/em> conceptual, but follow along with me… Wendy is “Christmas Creep”, which is the practice stores have of putting out Christmas decorations and promotions earlier and earlier each year (hence the “creep” part). In my experience, the best Halloween costumes are scary and maybe even a little nauseating. If seeing a bunch of wreathes hanging next to zombie masks in Target doesn’t give you that feeling, you have a stronger stomach that me. (By the way, you can’t see them in the picture, but her necklace alternates Christmas ornaments and rats, and she has Christmas lights around her waist that really light up–though when we took the picture we didn’t have batteries.)<\/p>\n

Read more about Christmas Creep at Consumerist<\/a> and be sure to check out this awesome cartoon from Hallmark<\/a> that captures the spirit of the costume perfectly.<\/p>\n

\"J.P.<\/a><\/p>\n

In case you don’t know, this is Dr. Cockroach from “Monsters vs. Aliens”<\/a>. I came up with the idea of using a giant pair of sunglasses to replicate his eyes, and then Wendy pretty much went to town from there. She. Is. Awesome. My antennae, by the way, are made from fall foliage found at Michaels. Big thanks to Molly from Lunch Money<\/a> for getting her dad to loan me a lab coat used for real actual science.<\/p>\n

Here are a couple more pics for the road:<\/p>\n
