We Are Halloween And So Can You


With GGC as Ernie!


Hal as Bert!


And Archer as the Rubber Ducky! (he makes bathtime so much fun)


Finally we can be public with our family. (We got married in Massachusetts.)



Bert and Ernie have had something going on for years, now.


Rubber Ducky's not amused.



Wait, never mind. He is.


Happy Halloween!



And it was happy.


(very much so.)

OMG...Hal as Bert is the greatest! I especially like Archer's "I make bathtime" lettering on his costume. Genius!

OMG I am a total lurker and I have to say I LOVE your blog...I am not sure how I found it but I've been lurking for a while now (& I don't have any children yet..)...anyways, I HAD to comment on your costumes because me & the fiance were going ot be Bert & Ern...his middle name is Robert and I call him Bert and my name is Emily and an old friend used to always call me Ernie. So I thought it would be sooo fitting! We ended up not dressing up and I planned on using that next year. Just wanted to tell you how much I LOVED your costume idea...because, well, great minds think alike!

Very Clever! My favorite editorial cartoon is by Jack Ohman from 1995. "When PBS Goes Tabloid" Bert and Ernie are sitting in guest chairs while Mr. Rogers says, "Muppets in ambiguous relationships! Next Mister Rogers!"

We all know about those two.

GIRL'S GONE CHILD | 9:07 PM

I do realize I look like a cracked-out clown but I was totally shticking it, I swear. Annoying Bert with silly games. Singing out of tune... Wait. Maybe that's just me being me. Never mind.

Meemo | 10:25 PM

Best costumes ever. You totally rocked that clown nose and those eyebrows...Perfection.

OK, LOVE the costume theme! Archer looks freaking adorable! Hal is working Ernie... but Bec, you're kind of scary as Bert.

(You know I love you... I'm just keeping it real.)

My husband and I were just talking about ideas for threesome costume ideas for next year (for he and I and our new pup Iggy). This is such an amazing idea. "I make bath time so much fun" is what really makes the set. Too great.

Kell | 5:37 AM

Hahaha, brilliant!!!!!!!!! Soo funny.

Creative-Type Dad | 10:23 PM

Wow!

Love that "I make bathtime..." message.
