sitkakoala: Turtle Transformer

Cowabunga!

Thats right, I said COWABUNGA! Not a word you hear in the everyday rafts of drifting nouns and questioning semi colons of conversation? Well, I've used that word a bit in the past month. And for good reason, I was preparing myself to transform into:

A teenage mutant ninja turtle!

Yep you heard correctly there too. In fact I didnt have too difficult a time rounding up certain individuals (you know who you are) to come along for this plight. But just where were we supposed to begin?

Bring on the pizza! And the brainstorming of how the costumes are going to come together, then the gathering materials, and cutting, and sewing, foam stuffing, more sewing, threading needles, even more sewing. Ugh I think I am starting to see GREEN! Better order more pizza..... to make these finger stabs more manageable!

Oh by the way....did I mention I signed us up for the lip sync competition? Teeheehee I didnt? Well dont worry, we are only on the waiting list.

Back to sewing, and this pizza delivery guy- I think he's onto our secret. He knows that we know that he may know about our turtle parties. Why else would we order pizza on a sometimes biweekly basis? Its not like we are having it delivered to the sewers- sheesh- boy did we have fun watching the films, 80's flashback for sure!

This year was the 25th year shell e-bration (anniversary) of the teenage turtles. I think I must know how they feel, Im about the same age and sometimes(if not most of the time) still act like a teenager.

Because OMG! OMGG, I just received a phone call AAAaaaCccKKKK!!! (I really did scream out loud at work, in fact a coworker came in to check on me)

He asked: "Are you okay"
Me: "No, ....yes, maybe.... no- definately no." Gulp.

The phone call I just got was from Raven Radio who is hosting the stardust ball and lip sync competition. Can you guess what I was freaking out about? Sigh. Time to call all the turtles and let them know we had better find our music and start forming a routine and get our turtles butts into action! Oh and completing these costumes we have been working on so diligently would be a good plan, its turtle time!

It took us a little over a month of steadily working (and plenty of pizza)to make these radical reptile costumes. And cowabunga baby- we are proud turtle brothers!! Not to mention the friends made and sewing skills learned. It was a treat this Halloween for sure!

Now what are we supposed to do for next year?
