The baked potato!!!
So while I had my weekend get away to Zion a few weeks ago I had the brilliant idea for my halloween costume.... I was packing up camp and Evelyn was making our lunches for the day (like the good wife she was to me that weekend). I looked over at her and she was trying to wrap the sandwiches up in some tin foil. Well, the roll dropped to the dirt and started to roll away, draping her torso in a layer of tin foil. I decided then that I wanted to be something involving foil for halloween. I thought for a total of like ten seconds when I came to the conclusion that a baked potato would be perfect!!! I spent the rest of the day figuring out how to best come to my optimal baked position.
Tin foil would be the look I was going for, but it would rip way too easily so I decided to go with the silver emergency blankets.... no rippage. and then batting for the potato part. It took only about an hour to get everything together, but I think it came together really nicely.
I went to my party and when I walked in everyone was a little confused at what just walked through the door, and then everytime- "are you a, a baked potato?" When it came around to the contest part I won the most creative hands down. The other categories were most seductive, and the most classic or something lame like that. So I chose to believe that I flat out won the best costume. Anyway, I just wanted to share a little in my brilliance. Happy belated Halloween!
