I, Laura, having been born of goodly parents, was unfortunately not born with significant creative juices (or a love of what I consider a morbid holiday) and dressed as a witch for Halloween. Tim decided to dress as Mormon missionaries on account of the fact that he is approached by them (and missionaries from other faiths) on an almost hourly basis. I thought he was exaggerating until I started hanging out with him regularly. I've never seen so many in my life (or noticed how adorable and young they look). He decided that if he can't beat them, he may as well join the ranks. He claims that only Mormons and engineers wear short-sleeved, white dress shirts. Is that true?
My Halloween fun consisted of hanging out with my fellow graduate students. Several of us live in Somerville so we went to each of our houses for treats. I served peanut butter bars and (it seemed like a good idea at the time) deviled eggs. Get it? Deviled = scary = halloween spirt = non-stick-in-the-mud. Hmph. Left to right, top to bottom: Sarah Palin, Steve Urkel, a cell sorter (science joke), a monkey escaped from our bioterrorism lab, a pirate, and 1/2 of Spy vs. Spy.
Erin and Robby were pirates. Because this blog is read by children and my grandmother, I had to censor out her awesome rose tatoo.
Elder Smith/Young/Beck and his companion Elder Smith/Young/Beck tried to convert my vampire roommate Aleigh. Even though she is already a member, she showed no interest in his message so that he would get the proper missionary experience.
P.S. Did you see 30-rock? Quoth Tina Fey: "We're not the best people in the world, but we're not the worst. Graduate students...are the worst"
What?!?

Your witch costume is adorable although oddly juxtaposed next to the missionary/missionaries.
We went trick-or-treating at a house in our ward where guys dressed as missionaries were giving out the treats. I thought the costumes were very authentic looking and well done. After further investigation I found out that it really was the missionaries hanging out at our neighbors for Halloween.
I like your deviled egg appetizer selection. Nice effort to be Halloweeny! Looks like a fun party for all.
Yes, we saw 30 Rock. I was a bit confused by the graduate student line also. Can somebody please explain?
Laura, you look beautiful as usual, are you a good witch? I've attended one of Mike's grad school parties, very interesting nerdy bunch. Maybe I just didn't understand the jokes. Looks like a great party!
I think I was companions once with your friend Tim's comp. I don't know how to reply to blogs, but I've decided I've got to start doing so. Anyway, this is me saying I'm interested in your life. Hooray Laura.
Very cute witch costume. Looks like you had a very fun Halloween. Your friends costumes are a hoot!:)
:) I love your costume Laura! I love Tim's costume too. That's great he even made himself a companion! Hiliarious!
Looks like you had some good fun.
I think it's great that Elder Tim is so patient with Elder SYB. It would be hard to be paired with someone whom you have to carry everywhere, doesn't speak, and springs leaks occasionally.
Love the halloween outift! What in the world are you talking about that you are not creative! I think you totally are!
Love the wedding announcment to your jacket and congrats on the marathon!
Laura, I haven't laughed this hard in about 2 weeks. Tell Tim a served with Elders Smith, Beck, and Young. He has the makings of an AP. Also I was wrong. I work with a lot of male librarians and one whose sarcasm might rival Tim's
Laura you make such a cute little witch! Love the outfit.
NOVEMBER 18th:
