What to do with 8 baby dolls

After procrastinating until the last second to find a costume for my work Halloween party, a quick trip to the dollar store was all I needed to find a gem of a costume. I walked into the dollar store as a mother of none and left a mother of eight! Yes, I was Octomom. The costume was very well received at work, and I surprisingly won second place in the costume contest.



Then for Halloween night it was on to costume number two. My friend Sarah asked if I would be her "sister wife." And of course how could I refuse? So for one night only, I enjoyed the life of a polygamist. I have to say, not putting on makeup and wearing a loose fitting dress was the easiest and most comfortable costume I have ever had.



Scott proudly played the role of our husband.



Later that night (when Grant had a break from being on call) we accepted a third sister wife into the family. She may not be the prettiest of the group, but she sure did get some laughs. Grant only managed to stay in his costume for all of 10 minutes before going back to being a resident in scrubs.



Sarah is a master party planner. Look at the spooky treats she made. They all have Halloween themes. (Hard to see but there are brain, eyeball, and skull cupcakes, finger sandwiches, and which cookies).

Even Bosco had a costume. He was the mailman!



And if you are wondering how we were able to get our hair to do the front poof, check out the bumpit! https://www.bumpits.com/2/?MID=538366



What a night what a night. Now onto planning for next year's costume.

Oh my word, this cracked my stuff up, especially since I just watched a show on this particular group on "Secret lives of Woman".
