Here we are as Homer and Marge! We borrowed the costumes from my friend Katie who made all of it...
Halloween night was so crazy and so much fun. We decided to go to "The Parade" in West Hollywood...half a million people were there! It's not really a parade, it is this big party on Santa Monica Boulevard where they've blocked off a section of the street...there's a big stage set up where they had bands play and a costume contest...then they have booths all down the street...kind of like a carnival. But the coolest part is just seeing that EVERYONE there is dressed up...and there are a lot of cool costumes that people are in. We expected to see a lot of drag queens since it is West Hollywood...but actually we didn't see nearly as many as we thought we would. Marc was so bummed...haha:) But here is the craziest part...from the second we got there, the reaction was huge to us as Homer and Marge...we literally got to experience what it feels like to be celebrities. We were asked to be in pictures continuously the whole time we were there...there were times we couldn't even walk because there was a line of people waiting to take a picture with us...we had no idea there would be this kind of a reaction...people seriously love the Simpsons out there...everyone was so excited about it and high fiving us, running up and hugging Homer, etc. We even experienced the paparazzi feel because even when we weren't posing in pictures people were just snapping them of us at all moments....it was nuts, but so fun. But let me say I am so glad we could go back home and just be anonymous, regular people:)
Here we are with Jack
With Lucy and Ricky...
With Dwight Schrute (for you Office fans)
With Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas
We weren't exactly sure what these people were...but they definitely committed to some all out costumes
Here's some drag queens for you:) They were the cheerleaders from Heroes...they were walking around calling out for Claire--it was funny to watch
Marc took this pic of me on Thanksgiving...and while I know my stomach probably looks like this every year after Thanksgiving dinner...I think this time it might be the baby:) I am 5 1/2 months now and really showing...I can't suck it in anymore! I'm really excited about it...and then sometimes I am really weirded out by it too when I look in the mirror. But it is super fun to be showing to the point where every one can tell...
