Halloween Party
The party was so fun, thanks to Bets and M for hosting at the Ranch. I think I successfully traumatized a handful of kids in the haunted barn. We used grapes for eyeballs, spiral pasta for brains, fettucini for guts, and ketchup for blood. All mixed with a gelatinous-need-not-discuss liquidy substance and the kids were FREAKED OUT. Only for a bit though, then they were on to me! Even C (T and B's Grammy) was the Headless Horseman (lights on the horse too) passing out candy.Some of the decor...




The Hippie Mom (people also said, "great indian costume!")

The Indy's

The Dad-Strawberry

K and The Niece-Skunk

My father The Father

Yaya is wicked-cool

The Whines and Wines family--the force was totally with them!

The Party
