Halloween was over a week ago and the rest of the internet has moved on, but I feel like my “I know, I’m late” speech has almost become as much of a yearly tradition as my annual Halloween Costume Awards. This year, the big difference is— Mazzy helped me come up with the awards. She was looking over my shoulder while I was going through the pictures and was like— “Oh, that’s a cool costume! We should o that next year! Choose that one!” Then she sat with me and helped me come up with all the captions. She caught on quickly and came up with some really clever awards. So, maybe Mazzy being a guest judge will be my newest tradition.
Okay. Are you ready? As usual, your costumes were awesome. I tried my best to include as many as possible. Aladdin, the Addams Family and Stranger Things were the most popular costumes by far, so I had to pick and choose, but please know— ALL OF YOUR WEDNESDAYS WERE AWESOME.
