For Halloween Ben and I dressed up as a wizard and witch and did the Portland Saturday Market. The day started OK but then it rained a ton. It was a long day for us, although we did get to enjoy a good amount of morning trick-or-treaters who nearly picked us dry for candy (we only had kisses left at the end of the day) and drew some faces for our pumpkin kittyhead.

No costume pictures unfortunately but it was a surprisingly handsome yet thrifty ensemble. Ben and I bought 2 graduation gowns + a witches hat from the Goodwill for $20 total. Ben used 1 gown as his wizard’s robe, and I cut the 2nd robe in half. The top half went to use as a capelet for my witches outfit and the lower half to make ben a wizard cone hat. Some paper star cutouts and a twig later, Ben has a complete outfit. As for me I just tied some ribbon to hold my capelet together and wore some witchy jewelry and viola! 20 minute costumes.

It was fun doing the market in our outfits although as soon as we got home Ben and I had some dinner, and then Mikah and I passed out for the rest of the night! Maybe next year we’ll have more energy.
Till then, we can enjoy our leftover kisses..
