Week 5 - read at your own risk...

Eric and I took our Halloween costumes one step further and added the World Series rivalry. He was supposed to be the Phillies fan attacking the Yankees fan (sorry Dale) but we didn't stay next to each other the whole evening and people didn't get it. I ended up taking my Yankees shirt off cause in no way did I want people to think I was a Yankees fan! So with that introduction, here are our costumes...



Amri drove in from Iowa to attend the party with us. She IS a Phillies fan!

LOVE this picture!
These are some of the guys I worked with in Henderson. How funny are they?! And a little disturbing...
There were some fantastic costumes at the party including the Octuplet Mom - hysterical! The Eastern US sales team were a baseball team - also fabulous.

After that crazy party Eric had to get up and go to his tradeshow on Sunday and Amri and I were tourists in Chicago. Here are the highlights...

These are condos. The first probably 12 stories is a parking structure that looks cool and scary at the same time.

We went on an architectural boat tour of the city. Here is us with Sears (now Willis) Tower in the background. It was an absolutely gorgeous day. Despite the hat, coat and gloves it was not windy and the skies were blue. We walked and walked and talked and talked. It was good to be with Amri! And how funny is that hat I picked up at Walgreens right before the tour. It is laugh out loud funny.

Here is our attempt to be artsy at Millennium Park in front of the reflective giant bean.




And here is me longing for a wedding cake just like this one. If I only saw this months ago... ;) Seriously, this cake is ridiculous.Amri with Lake Michigan in the back. See those blue skies. Yes, perfect day. Thanks Amri for driving 4 hours each way to hang out. It was SO great to see you!!!

Best Halloween weekend ever. Thank you so much for inviting me!

Except of course that the Phillies lost that night and the next night, but hopefully tonight they'll make it through one more inning!

So fun! I want to play in Chicago with you guys. Seriously, when are we planning to take another trip together?

Kyle Is Neat said...

it worries me that I'm having a hard time getting the image of the gorilla in a thong out of my mind...

Aryn said...

Ooooh... me! Me! I want to go on the trip too!

You guys look soooo cute in your winter coats and hats.

Jealous.

Aryn said...

Jealous that you two got to party in Chicago. Not jealous of how cute you look in your winter coats and hats. Because, well, come on. I'm pretty darn cute.

Aryn said...

Just so we're clear: I'm jealous that you got to party WITH EACH OTHER in Chicago. You guys are the prize, not Chicago ;).

Shout out to Eric in a thong... there are no words. No. Words.

Aryn said...

Ok, now I'm just commenting because it makes me feel like I am sharing in your Chicago experience somehow. Someone get over here and pull me away from this computer...

Anyone? Bueller? Sigh...
