Party Night - Picture Overload!

Two posts in two days, I may be on a roll!  Here's some pictures of our fun Halloween Party from Saturday night. I posted these on Facebook earlier this week, but my sis doesn't use FB, so I'm posting them all here mainly for her ;-)

My costume was from Pirates of the Caribbean. I have to say it was not that comfortable to wear, the 'off the shoulder' thing was rather frustrating and the cummerbund and belt just felt like they were riding up all the time! But it was still fun dressing up.I wanted Jason to be Jack Sparrow but the costume was $60 and we didn't want to spend that much (mine was on sale for just $29!). So he was a prisoner instead.


And here's why he picked a prisoner costume. . . .


Ha ha ha! Poor Boo! but really, I think he loved every minute of it!

 Here's pictures of the food and decor!




 I was going to make a pumpkin cake but Kristen saw this snake in a magazine I had so we did this instead.

I loved the guacomole!

and the first time ever we bought dry ice - it looked so cool in the kids punch bowl.

 the gorgeous Cheryl (she's an angel really!) :-)

 I loved Gabby's Ninja Turtle costume!

 Loved that Rene was Woody and his little boy was Buzz :-)


 Angry Bird!


 me and Angry Bird's Mom :-) AJ!

 I set up a cookie decorating and mask making table in the dining room for the kids.

 and outside I had 3 boxes of 'monster body parts' for the kids to FEEL!!!


 Monster Intestines! (spaghetti and oil)

 Goblin Eyeballs (grapes and olives)

 Zombie Brains! (oatmeal and oil, with pumpkin guts underneath!!)
Cheryl has more fun pictures on her camera (more importantly, ones with me and her together, that I haven't seen yet). Hopefully I can share them later. We certainly had an awesome night and I'd seriously consider doing it all again next year :-)

We had a blast. . . .

at our Halloween Party on Saturday night. Kristen had fun last night too Trick or Treating, so I have lots of photos to share with you. First up, Kristen's costume this year - she was a Ninja! and pictures from trick or treating. . . .


Her friend Emily was 'Hermione'

and Connor was also a Ninja!

Our neighbor Dave (Cheryl's Dad) always sits outside and hands out candy. His is the first house we stop at.




there were lots of kids out this year. It was a lovely warm evening.


 I don't know these guys, but they looked so good I had to get a picture!

the ghost actually kept popping in and out of this jack o lantern!


We hosted our very first Halloween Party on Saturday night. It was a ton of fun and we ALL dressed up.I'll post pictures later tonight, or I think this post will be waaaaaaay too long!!! Hope you all had a fun Halloween. Next on the calendar is Kristen's birthday party, and Thanksgiving. Kristen's birthday falls the day after Thanksgiving this year so I think we'll be having a party the weekend before.
