For Halloween, Michael and I decided to be “Jon and Kate Plus Eight,” of TLC fame. Of course, our costume was based on the pre-publicly-unraveling-marriage version of the couple and their eight children (God bless and help them!).

Michael spiked his hair, wore his sleek, square-toed special occasion shoes, and wore our Maya wrap with two Cabbage Patch dolls from Goodwill peeking out. I wore a big white teeshirt with six little pairs of footprints on the front (Pio Coles kindly lent his feet for the project). I also donned a pair of 3 inch heels and pinned my hair to mimic Kate’s short, spiky style.
 
In general, we had a comfortable and clever costume, but nothing groundbreaking, especially for my costume-loving husband.Michael swears he is going to be an astronaut next year.
