Fun at the Speakeasy

Who is the cutest little mafia man?


Don't worry, we aren't actually encouraging illicit behavior for our little man; we just got him dressed up for a little party a few weeks ago down at the Shriner's Mosque. Every year the Potentate (kind of like the President) hosts a big party, and this year it was a murder-mystery dinner event set in the roaring twenties (you may remember the party from a few years ago with a prom theme, and last year was a hillbilly/Western theme, although apparently I never actually blogged about it. Fail). We were originally not planning to attend because our primary babysitters (aka my parents) were also going to be in attendance and I'm still a little too chicken to leave him with any one but family for more than a few hours. But, my parents insisted that we should bring William (because he's such a good baby, of course) and at least come for dinner--their treat. And who are we to say no to a free meal (and drinks)? Plus, I'll totally admit that I love a good costume party--and thanks to some simple crafting (post on that soon!), a few thrift store finds, and gracious friends, we were able to throw together some pretty awesome outfits.

Excuse the quality--it's a picture of a picture. The digital file is probably buried somewhere on Darrell's SD card, and any complaints about my life being busy mean that Darrell's life is usually twice as busy. So on the SD card they remain.
Despite plenty of a few concerns on my part, we all ended up having a good time, and no one thought we were too crazy for bringing a five-month old to the party (at least not that they said to our faces). Hopefully by next year I'll be able to leave him with a sitter so we can actually stay for the whole night... Hopefully  :-)
