Weekend Recap: The Halloween Edition

Friday: 
My brother was having a Halloween party and if you were not aware....we go big around here. Honestly I hadn't been that excited for Halloween until a few days before when I finally knew what I was going to go as! You see my brother and his girlfriend were going as Beetlejuice and Lydia so I decided that I would go on theme and go as....Miss Argentina! 

Yes I am super blue. Yes it took forever to do. Yes it was totally worth it! 

Of course my brother and his girlfriend looked AMAZING! 

My Husband went as Otho to continue the theme! 

The party was fun and we made a TON of food for it! 

Saturday: The morning was spent grocery shopping and even though I hate the term with a passion being "basic". Yes I had a Starbucks Frapula in honor of Halloween. #sorrynotsorry #noshameinmygame

She loved riding in the Car/Cart!

That evening we decided we would chance taking Kyra out Trick or Treating. She is pretty shy around strangers and I wasn't sure she would enjoy it but imagine my surprise when she was all for it! She was scared at first but once she figured out there was candy involved she was running up to doors and knocking! I was super proud! 

Baby Owl Costume because warmth! Also CUTE.

The Haul. Not bad for her first time!

Sunday: 
Easy day of watching movies and wondering what it is I was going to write about for National Novel Writing Month. Yes I should have had something picked out ahead of time but I wasn't feeling any of the ideas I had....I still wrote but it is just junk...still junk is better than nothing! It will come to me in time...it always does. 


So there was the weekend. Hope you all had a wonderful and safe Halloween. Happy Monday!

My Top 5 Cosplay Costumes

Good Morning Everyone, 

So Planet Comic Con is held here in Kansas City every year. I've been going the past two years and this year will be no different. I am SO excited to go because I love all things Nerdy and because one of my best friends is coming up to go with us this year!!! 

Out of all the Nerdy things however the thing I truly love most is COSPLAY. 

For those that might not know Cosplay is basically dressing up like a character from a book, movie, comic, etc. 

I think of it as an art form. A lot of work goes into these costumes and some people spend MONTHS trying to recreate exactly their favorite character's look. I've wanted to Cosplay ever since I first heard about what it was about five years ago but I haven't done one yet. There are many reasons why two of them being 1) I can't sew and 2) I'm not exactly....slim. 

But if I got the chance I do have Cosplay's that I would love to do. 

1) Lulu from Final Fantasy X-

This costume is just brilliant but as you can imagine by looking at it....a pretty difficult one to put together! Still when it is done right it is a really striking and amazing looking Cosplay!

2) Psylock from X-Men-

Would totally LOVE to do this one as she is my favorite character but pretty sure my brothers and my father wouldn't appreciate the um....skimpy-ness. (BTW Yaya Han is one of the most amazing Cosplayers out there. I pretty much love every character she does!  ( Source)

3) Avatar the Last Airbender Group Cosplay-

I would be playing Katara (second from the left) I love her costume and totally relate to her character (Source)

 
4) Erza Scarlet from Fairy Tail-

I would love to do a fully armored character and Erza is pretty awesome! Source

5)Ahri from League of Legends- 

I love the look of this one with all her nine tails! It would be really fun to figure out just how to work all those tails into the costume and I love the look of the kimono-esqu style dress in this one!

So there you have it! My top 5 Cosplays that I would totally rock if I could! This was a tough list as I have a LOT of favorite cosplays and honestly if given the chance I would cosplay just about anything! 

Happy Saturday Everyone!
