HALLOWEEN PARTY

Colby Granny AND i HELD A VERY SUCCESSFUL AND FUN HALLOWEEN PARTY FOR THE BOYS THIS YEAR. IT WAS OUR FIRT TIME HAVING A CHILDREN ONLY HALLOWEEN PARTY. I AM GETTING BETTER AT ASKING FOR AND ACCEPTING HELP. THIS PARTY NEEDED AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. I TEEDERED WITH THE IDEA OF CANCELLING IT MANY TIMES BECASUE WE ALL WANTED TO GO TO CALIFONIA AND VISIT OUR FRIENDS AND DISNEY LAND SO BADLY. IN THE END, WE DECIDED TO STAY HOME AND THROW NOT ONLY THIS CHILDREN PARTY BUT A ADULT/BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR MYSELF. OF COURSE OUR AGREEMENT WAS THAT I WOULD HAVE HARDLY ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE LATTER ONE.
I HAD A HARD TIME DECIDING WHERE TO DRAW THE LINE ON CHILDREN INVITES. I DECIDED TO INVITE ALL THAT JACK DECIDED AND ADD A FEW FRIENDS FOR AVERY AS WELL. ON THE NIGHT OF THE OPARTY WE HAD 30 KIDS INCLUDING MY OWN COME TO THE PARTY. I TOOK HELP FROM BRYSTON, ELLIOT GRANNY, KATHY LARRY AND STEVE.
IT TURNED OUT PERFECTLY AND I COULD NOT HAVE DONE IT SO SMOOTHLY WITH OUT ALL OF THEM.
KATHY AND LARRY CAME TO THE HOUSE AND DID HOUSE CLEANING TWO DAYS BEFORE THE PARTY AND CAME THE DAY OF AS WELL AFEW HOURS EARLY TO HELP FINISH UP A BIT OF DECORATING AND TIE UP LOOSE ENDS WITH THE FOOD PREP. GRANNY CAME OUT THE DAY BEFORE ALONG WITH KERIANN AND HELPED ME PREPARE ALL THE FOOD THE DAY BEFORE. IM PLANNING ON DOING THIS EVERY TIME FOR NOW ON BECAUSE IT WAS SO HELPFUL HAVING IT ALL DONE AND JUST NEEDED TO SET IT OUT AND WARM UP A COUPLE ITEMS.
LARRY AND STEVE, KATHY'S BOSS SET UP THE MOOD LIGHTING AND WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN HALF AS AWSOME IF THEY HAD NOT. WE SET UP A HUNTED HOUSE. FIRTS YOU WOULD COME UPON A PIRATE GRAVEYARD lit with black lights and skeletons. AFTER THAT CAME THE TALKING GRIM REAPER BRYSTON HANDLED THAT. THE REAPER WAS TELLING THE KIDS HALLOWEEN FACTS AND KID FRIENDLY JOKES. THEY WOULD THEN BE BLAST WITH THE FOG MACHINE WHICH SKARED THE BEJESUS OUT OF ALMOST ALL OF THEM. THEY FOLLOWED DR. FRANKENSTEIN INTO THE LAB WHERE THEY WERE ABLE TO TOUCH THE HEART OF THE FRANKENSTEIN, AS WELL AS HIS GUTS, EYEBALLS BRAIN AND SEVERED HANDS. IT LOOKED LIKE A REAL PERSON LYING THERE. I HAD IT ON THE BED THE WEEK PRIOR AND WOULD SCARE COLBY AND I FOR A SECOND OR TWO EVERY TIME WE WOULD PASS BY. WE PLAYED GAMES BUILD THE SKELETON, HALLOWEEN BINGO. DID ART PRODJECTS, BULT A SKULL NECKLACE AND HALLOWEEN SCRATCH ART. WE HAD MANY DIFFERENT FOODS SUCH AS SWAMP JUICE WITH A FLOATING ICE FACE, MINI MUMMY DOGS, CHIPS CUPCAKES PUMPKIN COOKIES CANTAOPE AND RED GRAPE KABOBS AND CUCUMBERS. everyone DRESSED IN COSTUME. FUNNEST PARTY EVER. THE NIGHT ENDED SO HAPPILY I WAS SO PLEASED.
