Hallerween and Booritos

This year for the 'holiday' that is currently upon us and nauseating me with it's lawn decor and massive amounts of high fructose corn syrup, we did things a little bit different. I had heard about Chipotle's initiative to encourage people to ban processed foods by giving $2 burritos for people who dressed as a grotesque chemically-laden food. Though Doritos and Cosmic Brownies were our first choices for processed foods, we decided on doing something a bit more simple: S'Mores

Here we have the graham crackers and the marshmallows. Dan's costume was a simple camp shirt with tons of graham crackers glued on; we also included the ingredients so that anyone who asked could easily read for themselves.
Ari's costume was easily assembled using a hot glue gun, an old onsie and a bag of marshmallows. We also had old socks that I made into leggings for her and they too were covered with those white and gooey things... in NC heat, we were a little sticky afterwards.

Because someone had to carry the diaper bag, camera and child, I wore the least amount of food. but I still got to be chocolate!

The manager informed us that we were early. The event wasn't supposed to start until after 6pm but noone told us that...and we have a baby who goes to sleep at 7... they let us anyway!! No wonder there was noone else there dressed up; we received quite a few interesting looks!

All in all, worth it for this burrito goodness.

Hmmm, I am having a hard time thinking of Chocolate as "grotesque
chemically-laden food" and eating a burrito instead...:):)

Never have seen an adorable smiling marshmallow, but sure have now. How did you keep her from eating them? What a creative idea, but I'm not surprised. Toooo cute.....Ari that is! Love the idea!
