Happy Halloween

Aaron and I usually participate in the holiday by going to some sort of dress up party. Last year we went as Margo and Richie Tenenbaum. The year before that we went as Annie Hall and Woody Allen. We went to a Halloween party last weekend. It was fun. Can you guess what our costume is?

We're Two Eggs, Sunny-Side Up.

We couldn't find any yellow hats, so I had to sew our little bonnets out of the only yellow thing we could find: car shammies from Family Dollar. No one ever gets our costumes, so we decided to go as something simple. No one got it.

Elf insisted on trying it on:

He's such a ham. Mmm...ham and eggs.

Violet went as God:

It was awesome.

The party was a little West Virginian. Late into the night two large pots of something called "soup beans" were brought out and distributed. After not getting much in terms of an explanation, a recipe, or a real description of what "soup beans" might be (the most descriptive reply to our inquiries was: "Oh, y'know, they're soup beans...with a ham bone.") we decided to try them for ourselves. They tasted like beans and tallow, which I'm pretty sure is what they consisted of.

But it was fun, and we didn't get too scrambled.
