halloweeeeeen

Once upon a time, our friends convinced us to have a Halloween party. I resisted for about .03 seconds and then spent my week/weekend planning, buying crap, buying more crap, cleaning the house, and then finished it off with some last minute crap-buying. But I can't say I didn't love it, because I always do. And fortunately Brian was on board for "doing it right," as he always does...which meant lots of work, but a great turnout (or so we thought, since the last people left at 5 a.m.). We had about 30 people, scary music, pumpkins, blacklights, red lights, scary movies, beer die, spiderwebs, a delicious punch in a cauldron, food, candy, catchphrase, buckets of beer, and jello shots. (May I caveat that we did NOT make the jello shots, and I refused to pass them around - although they were delicious.) = Photos may do it more justice!

So excited to have Chrissy & Eric in for the night!

Even more excited to dress her up like Brian, late night.

Sarah made the mistake of telling me she used to be a "shot girl" at a bar, so I made her peddle the goods

Newsie!

wahhhhh

no big deal, but that punch was amazing. and it only had 18 ingredients in it - what a cinch!

ah-mazing handmade fascinator, right?!

and last but not least, leprechaun and a pot of gold.

why Brian went for "pimp leprechaun," I don't know.
