Our Million-Dollar-Winning Halloween Costumes

I'm starting to think about Halloween costumes early this year. Normally, I wait until the absolute last minute, at which point I'm either going to hit it out of the park or get stuck with a stupid idea. Usually I manage to come up with a fun idea that, thankfully, requires very little work. (See previous years: Spaghetti Cat, Lacey from Rock of Love.)

It's basically the same costume, plus or minus pasta and VIP pass.

However, last year was a total fail. I wound up having no ideas and a party to go to in like half an hour, so I put on Matt's Aggie overalls and called it a costume. It was super embarrassing for my Sooner self. I'm not showing you a picture of that.

But this year! Oh this year I started thinking about it at the end of September. And while watching the season premiere of one of our favorite shows, The Amazing Race, it occurred to me — our first ever couples' costume should be a team competing for the $1,000,000 prize!

Here's what we will need to make this happen:

T-shirt; Shorts; Bandana; Backpack: Athletic Shoes. And some swagger. Also, maybe a made-up yellow and red clue card.

Luckily we already have pretty much everything we need to do this costume, except that I'll probably go to Hobby Lobby and get us matching T-shirts for $4 or something.

What are you going to be for Halloween?
