This morning was the Halloween party , only, since it rained and SNOWED like a bugger yesterday, it was too soggy to have in the back yard. Plan B, have it at the church.
There were kids and costumes, games, fun and treats. I asked everyone to try and keep the more overt sugar to a minimum, they came through with flying colors. Other than the fact that this was my brainchild and I organised it... I had to do very little to prepare.
Tried a new pumpkin spice cake recipe.
Designed a bean-bag toss game out of a hunk of wood we had mouldering in the garage.... scammed the neighbor into cutting out the holes.
...and scammed my buddy into painting the sucker. It's already booked solid for classroom parties. My original plan was to paint it up in a more cartoony, Dio de las Muertas style. Not only did I score some kickin' free artwork, but it's wayyy more scary and fun! Glad I ran outta time!

I LOVE that first picture. And that bean-bag skull, Totally Cool!!!
More awesome pictures. Love the cake. Jealous again of your talent. Thought you painted that skull. I'm sure that yours would have been equally as awesome!
1. That skull is awesome!
2. The little green-toothed vampire? Also awesome.
3. That cake — I am salivating!
Really just ditto everyone else. Fun!! (Love the cake- that is the most important part)
The cake looks awesome and the bean bag thingy is cool! Hope the kids had a blast!
oooh, oooh, cake looks good.
The bean bag toss is scary. Very nice.
Looks like a great time!
Did you say SNOW? Yuck.
Wow. I didn't even manage to decorate this year and I'm a halloweenophile. Now I feel even lamer.
Wow, I didn't even get my Halloween decorations out this year. I feel totally lame now.
