Our Naked & Afraid Halloween Costume

HALLOWEEN

My mother would like me to put about seven disclaimers on this post.  And an apology to all my grandparents and inlaws.

If you value your eyes, brain, thoughts, etc…..My deepest apologies.

To make this costume yourself…take it off.  Take it all off. Time to frighten the children.

You can also use a nude colored bathing suit or a plain nude leotard with a whole bunch of mud (or dirt colored makeup).  I’ll let you decide what we did 🙂

Also – it should be noted that LJ’s PSR went up after this experience.

  3. OMG, I love naked & afraid… and you guys totally nailed it! Love that you added in the necklace and the bag… and that you mentioned the PSR. Seriously, this post made my day… LOL.

  4. Katie, you rock! I’ve never commented before…love your blog / style. Your family is darling. This may be one of the funniest, most creative costumes I’ve ever seen. Thanks for the laugh!

  8. LOL Awesome. You made my Friday morning start off with a big smile. LJ’s face is priceless. You are so scary, its truly amazing. It also made me laugh because my kids are afraid to get dirty and I can partly blame myself for that. My daughter would freak out if I told her this is what we were being for Halloween.

    Can we request a family picture, including Jeremy. HAHAHA Just kidding. (ok, maybe I’m not kidding)

    Happy Halloween to you adorable and dirty family.

  9. This is EPIC!! Laughing out loud in Starbucks right now. People are staring and I don’t care haha. This is sooooo funny!

  13. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
    You have been ON this week! Never have I loved this blog so much.

    You win Halloween.

  14. I almost spit my coffee out on my computer. That’s funny! Did you use a tripod or convince Jeremy to take this? Somehow the idea of Jeremy taking the picture makes it even funnier. LJ is adorable, as always! He’s giving me a serious case of baby fever.

  16. I haven’t commented on one of your posts in a very long time (although I certainly continue to enjoy them!). But I just had to on this one. This is brilliant and awesome. It made me laugh out loud. And especially because you included LJ. Well done!

  18. This is hilarious! Love how LJ looks so happy while you’re trying to be all cave-woman/naked/afraid.

    Your posts totally make my day 🙂

  21. This is awesome! Bonus points for the baby necklace : ) Which brings me to a few N&A questions that have been bugging me (pun intended!). Why must they wear the necklaces? Are they little microphones? And the bag! Are they required to wear those all the time. It seems like it would be so annoying. Or maybe not compared to the leaches, mosquitoes, ants, & all the other creepy crawly critters I don’t even want to think about!
    The show is awesome. You are awesome. Happy Halloween!

  22. Katie, OMG that is so cleaver, so funny. Right up there with your Redneck Christmas card.
    Love your humor!

  27. Well, that is an interesting life choice. (That’s Yankee for “Bless Your Heart”). 25ish years from now, I hope beyond all hope that this makes it into LJ’s wedding slide show.

  29. haha What survivor item did you take with you?! I would either take a fire starter or a pot. Although I did think the duck tape was clever.

  30. Or for the more modest folk, keep the mud and dirt and add ripped up clothes for the walking dead. (Which is what I thought this was until I scrolled down!) LMAO

  31. You are killing me! I don’t know what naked and afraid is, but this photo is awesome! I love your sense of humor. A reminder not to take life too seriously. 🙂

  41. OMG! Too funny! Had this grandma laughing out loud! Love how you go all in with/for your family. 🙂

  46. Thanks for bringing such humor to the world. This is a great way to start the day before the weekend. Thanks for being you!

  51. Hahaha Tara! Your comment made me laugh out loud!

    Katie – this is, just….awesome. So much love.

  52. HAHAHAHAHAHA Almost burst out laughing at work. This is amazing. You definitely WIN Halloween now I want to see a video of you trick or treating like this just to see people’s expressions.

  53. Best freaking Halloween costume EVER! Many years from now when LJ is grown and getting married, this photo will re-surface in the wedding video….

  61. I cannot get over the blurring out of LJ too, it keeps making me laugh just thinking of it!!! I don’t know why but it’s just so silly and hilarious! I’ve never seen that show (is it a show? a movie?!) but appreciated the picture nonetheless!! I saw the comment that Jeremy took the pic … oh to be a fly on the wall (or in a tree I guess) during that photoshoot!!!

  65. hilarious! i love that the baby looks like he’s roaring! lol
    i seen this or glanced when i was skimming my fb and did not even notice who it was. Until i came on to your website to check on the blog and ohemgee…it was bowerpower. 🙂

  67. okay, so foreign reader here – what does PSR stand for?

    Love the costume… Although in our climate that would be naked, hypothermic and afraid! 😀

  68. I love it! You even have the microphone necklaces! What was this for? Just cause? Either way cracks me up! I bet you were freezing!

  72. I hope your neighbors know how to publish on youtube…I’ll be anxiously awaiting you going viral!

  73. You are not right. But I did just show everyone and laugh my head off. Too funny girl too funny!

  76. This is already really great, but you really amped up the hilarity with “I’ll let you decide what we did.”

  82. Oh dear God! I have never posted before, I’ve just silently enjoyed your blog from afar for several years, but this is just TOO freaking funny! You are bonkers!! I love when women don’t take themselves too seriously and act like goofballs now and then. Soooo…. uh…. is the boyfriend going to get naked for us too? 😛

  87. I had a carotid endarterectomy on Monday morning..and haven’t laughed since, barely smiled. Until I saw this..I laughed until I almost hurt myself..Thank you for letting me know I’m still alive..Angels turn up in mysterious ways and all form of dress or undress. Thank you, thank you, and thank you..

  91. This just makes me love you even more! Just snorted out wine through my nose then cry/laughed until my husband had to see what caused my reaction. I truly appreciate your sense if humor Katie!!! BRAVO!!!

  95. PSR is Primitive Survival Rating…it’s a score that each person receives at the beginning of the show and by the time the episode is done, their score goes up or down 🙂
    xo – kb

  97. Physician’s Desk Reference. Hollowed out. Inside, waterproof matches, iodine tablets, beet seeds, protein bars, NASA blanket, and, in case I get bored, “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.” No, “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.”

  106. OMG this is the BEST costume I’ve seen this year! Not to mention it’s one of my favorite shows!

  108. The necklace is a microphone (since there’s nowhere else to comfortably clip a mic). I had to google that b/c I wondered, too!

    I LOVE this post! Soooooooo funny! And LJ’s face… Well, his face is always adorable! 🙂

  110. Fallon is doing a hashtag #falloncostume, you should so find a way to tweet this photo with that hashtag
