Before Halloween gets too far behind us, I need to post some pics of a fun party we had. Rebecca, Kim, and I wanted to have get-together before Kim had the new baby. (By the way, he was born last Friday, 11/11/11. His name is Reed and he is such a cutie.)
It was just going to be a small gathering, but we kept thinking of fun people to invite and before we knew it, it turned into a pretty big bash,or should I say monster mash, and we still weren't able to invite all the fun people that we know.
It was just going to be a small gathering, but we kept thinking of fun people to invite and before we knew it, it turned into a pretty big bash,or should I say monster mash, and we still weren't able to invite all the fun people that we know.
We warned them all that some of the goings on might be shared, so here goes...
Our first two guests arrived in time to help us get things ready. Whew!
Kim dressed as a pregnant cat.
Rebecca was a triumphant sumo wrestler.
"Pat" showed up
as did the ever helpful Red Riding Hood.
Along came 2 witches and a nun,
another cute witch, and a sister wife, the pregnant cat again,
and a blast from the past "70's Chick."
A Southeast Asian farm worker with a very thick accent, who seemed to be a little suspicious at the time this picture was taken, was a great addition to the party,
as was this impressive Hula team.
Cruella D'evil's twin sister, a posed and poised party-goer, and a witch with hat problems showed up too.
The Cat in the Hat, an Angry Bird and a Cowgirl got in line for eats and treats.
We then went to the Batt cave for games.
Everyone tried Lucy's lip trick.
Little Red Riding Hood and the Hippie had a head stand contest.
The hippie won. Red Riding Hood's thought it was her age that impeded her but maybe it was just the cape.
We danced to Thriller. M J would have been proud of this side of the room.
But this side? Not so much.
The Great Pumpkin danced in to start the gift sharing. There were some amazing gifts.
Lady Luck was with Liz. She not only got the two-day-old pizza....
but the live mice as well.
Ramona took home the pig foot/back scratcher/possible Sunday dinner,
but not before Cassie had a turn.
Mandy left early so she was the recipient of this:
(a bag of giant marshmallows aka Ghost Poop)
That 70's chick took the mice home for her pet snake, but she had to fight the cat for them.
Sister Jeffs got the giant tub of cheese puffs. The children will be so happy.
And Mom finally got the tatoo she has always wanted.
We had a great time. Thanks everybody!

I'm so proud to call you all family. Ha! How stinking fun! Makes me wish even more than I could have been there! If mom hadn't told me what her costume was, I don't think I would have recognized her.
Super bummed I missed it...... I'da dressed up real nice too.
Looks like you were made to host Halloween parties, you got the name Batt and all!
p.s. that pig foot made me throw up a little in my mouth.
It was a fun par-tay even though it was a lot of work! I'm glad you blogged about it so I don't have to!
And fun was had by all!
What a great party. Decor, treats (darling spider/cheese ball?), and party animals were darling.
