Yip Yip Yip Yip Yip Uh Huh Uh Huh

This year Dan and I decided to dress up as classic Sesame Street characters and freak the bejesus out of our friends. lol.  We told everyone that we weren't going to the Halloween/Skydive Gan year end party in Gananoque because I was on a course in Ottawa.  I actually was on course Saturday but only during the day.

After class, Dan and I snuck off down to our friend's house and climbed into our homemade Yip Yip costumes and thankfully got a lift to the bar with our friends.

NO ONE knew who we were.  We totally had them fooled and mega freaked out at points because while some of them hazarded a guess that it might be us or another couple that were late showing, quite a few people thought that we were just two random people from the town of Gananoque.  It was hilarious!

And we won first prize for best costume!!!  Whoop Whoop!!!  I mean "YIP YIP!!"


I'm in Orange, Dan is in Yellow.

This is me pretending to yell at Dan.  Apparently I was really convincing because he looks scared to death of me. lol.

We had so much fun at the party.  And the costume was relatively easy to make.  The Instructions were easy to follow and it only took us 4 different Fabriclands to find the right kind of material for both costumes.  We used a black-jersey-holey-material for the mouth.  We only needed one layer and wer able to see through it fine while no one was able to see back inside at us.  We also amended the instructions by attaching two of my squash racquets to form the mouth.  It worked really well because it allowed us to hold and move the mouth and still be able to drink our beers underneath.

Sooo much fun!!  Hope you all had great Halloweens too :-)
