Twins, Basil.....Twins!

This last weekend was the calm(ish) before the storm, if you will. Deirdre and I realized that last weekend would be our last free weekend before our final exams so we decided to have one last theme party to celebrate the end of the year. We wanted to to "biker ho's and bicycle bros"....girls go trashy leather, boys go spandex and bike helmets, but the guys vetoed that quickly. Instead, we picked a friendlier theme: twins.

Friday night, my buddy, Matty, was dropped off by a friend so he could spend the weekend with me. He goes to Western and we are both really busy, so I don't see him often. It was so nice to catch up. Deirdre joined us for dinner at Applebee's and then we all headed out to the bar.

Saturday, our neighbors were also holding a party, but one that was all afternoon. We stopped by for a bit but left when Meggy arrived. She got to the apartments around 5ish and we headed over to the neighbors' place across the lot so she could meet (approve of) Andy....he passed :). There is always a ton of people there, but this weekend, it was especially packed. Andy's best friend and cousin were also up for the weekend.

Everybody dispersed around 8ish to go get ready for our party at 10. Lots of people came dressed alike...but some of us went all out with actual costumes...
Meggy and I went as cowgirl twins.

Andy, his roommate, and his cousin went as white trash triplets.

Matty went as himself and his missing twin.

(I just like this picture :) )

We had a great turnout, nothing was broken and everybody had a great time...the perfect party and a great way to have a bit of fun before buckling down for exams!
