Last week we gave you a little peek into our Halloween costume making obsession. I have to admit that even I think we go overboard sometimes - and this year was no exception.

Ready or not. Halloween is coming!
Halloween is in exactly one week. And we haven't started working on our costumes. Aaaaaand cue panic! Anyone who knows us well, knows this is the time of year where we go all out.
