what we wore : no bones about it

Way before I ever adopted Klaus I wanted to get a dog of my own so I could dress him or her up in a skeleton costume. I don’t know why but something about dogs in skeleton costumes just melted my heart. I kind of forgot about that until I saw this one at Target. I told Jeff about it later and explained how badly I wanted it but didn’t know when Klaus would actually wear it. He was like “Get it! He can wear it all the time!” That’s a good man, justifying my stupid purchases. So next trip to the store Klaus got a skeleton costume and all my stupid little dreams came true. I didn’t think it was possible for this puppy to get any cuter but I was proven wrong. He will totally be wearing this thing all year long. I own skeleton footie pjs so I guess Klaus and I will be able to match in the evenings in the winter too!

Unrelated to this outfit post but in the spirit of Halloween I crossed off one of my big fall goals – visiting a haunted house! I’ve had two experiences with haunted houses in the past. The first was with my mom, and brother when I was eleven or twelve. I spent the whole time with my face buried in my brother’s back. I didn’t look at single thing. The second time was in Niagara Falls the next year. I wanted to redeem myself after the first haunted house so my aunt and I bought tickets, walked maybe ten steps in and then I ran out. Since then I’ve just presumed haunted houses weren’t my thing and wrote them off. Even as a huge chicken, I loved the idea of haunted houses. I desperately wanted to be able to go so this year I made it one of my goals.

Last weekend myself and five of my friends visited Spooky Ranch. There is a fun house, haunted hay ride, 3-D clown house, and “extreme nightmares” haunted house. You guys, I don’t remember the last time I had that much fun. IT WAS A BLAST. Seriously, I can’t think about it without getting this massive cheesy grin on my face. We actually all had so much fun that while waiting in line for the last attraction we started looking up other nearby haunted houses so that we wouldn’t have to call it a night. Sadly it was too late and we wouldn’t be able to make it to another before they closed for the night.

I’m bummed I missed out on haunted houses all these years but I guess I’ve got the rest of my life to enjoy them. I cannot wait to go to another!

This is far too cute for me! Need such a dog costume- and a dog to wear it!

Kaylah October 29, 2015 - 7:26 pm

Hah! I think basically ANY animal would be precious in a costume.

I wish I could find matching skeleton costumes for my cats.

You both look so great! These photos are definitely worthy of being framed or added to a photo album! And I'm so jealous of your haunted house visits – I'm a huge chicken too, but I'd love to visit one. The UK just don't do halloween as good as you guys!

I really had no idea I'd love Haunted Houses so much! Maybe once you go in one you'll realize you're not as big of a chicken as you think!

I love this! I wish that my dog would wear a costume, he just eats them instead. I wish that I could have done more theme dressing today! Theme dressing is my jam! I was traveling with my parents but they weren't fans of my look lol.
I have the same feels about haunted houses. I have like a haunted house trauma too. 🙂 I was in a haunted corn maze and when I was chased by a guy with a chainsaw…I tripped on corn stalks and ate it big time. As a chicken pre-teen I thought this was the moment I was getting murdered. I haven't been in a haunted anything since. They are so awesomely cheesy though I am sure I would love it now.
