If you had a special talent would you show it off every day, seeking attention and praise? Well if you were smart you would save that special talent for a very special day in which you could shock your peers, stun your wife and win a $50 prize. What I am speaking of friends is Keith's dance, hand jive and gymnastics talents. Who knew he could cartwheel?
As you can see Keith and I dressed as Greasers for Halloween this year. As it turned out another couple tried to steal our idea and they too showed up as Sandra D and Danny. Big mistake for them. Their costumes were obviously unmotivated, cheap internet versions while ours were creative, homemade duds. For some reason though, the judges seemed torn between the two duos for the "best couple costume", and they decided to have a dance off to determine who would get the prize. Poor other vinyl T-bird jacket greasers. They simply did not stand a chance. You see, not only did Keith and I just have our first country swing dance class (easy enough to embellish into a fifties style swing), but 6 foot 4 inch Keith has also got some mad cartwheelin' skills. Needless to say, we departed victorious with some fancy T-shirts (mine has a topless hula dancer on the front) and a $50 gift certificate.
Hand Jive!
Here's a picture of some other best costume winners: our neighbors kids won "scariest" and "most original" for their zombie and Oscar the Grouch costumes. So cute!

Congrats! On your feat at the fete! I'm fairly sure that your topless hula girl will now cause you to be blacklisted ... good thing you won that $50!
As for your neighbors ... what cuties! I love the OtG costume!
We had 3 treaters last night. 3. And they were related so we had one treater event. Jeffrey was in the shower and missed it. Sigh. I miss good Halloween ...
Halloween apparently is not celebrated in the apartment complexes of Tucson. But I'm glad that you guys won the contest. You definitely deserved to win since I know that Shaleah sewed that 'R' herself. Way to go!
I think trick-or-treating is dying everywhere. Even here in a small town in America's heartland where we live smack in the middle of town, we got just a handful of trick-or-treaters. Also it was a beautiful, warm evening, but most of the kids I saw were being driven around in minivans. It's just not the way I remember it. Sad.
Congrats to you both!!!
KeithMike did gymnastics/dance until he was in jr hi and it not only made him(and the other 2 as well) a great athlete, but also a great dancer(for a really, really white guy!!!). Finally a return on my investment. I will send a pict showing why we had NO T or Ters
great job! clearly a handsewn R should win! the judges were obviously just not wanting the party to end!
as for this small town, we toured the neighborhood with neice & nephew & there were LOTS of trick or treaters out! the sidewalks were full. of course, we have to go out to see them b/c our street is too dark!
I'm seriously proud of who you decided to dress up as.
High five!
