Halloween was great this year! We hosted a small party with Garth's family and had so much fun. Elizabeth dressed up as vampire princess and Claire was a skeleton. We decorated a little more than usual with a witch being the main focus. She turned out great and we had a lot of compliments from the trick-or-treaters. I wish that I taken pictures of what it looked like at night because it was amazing! Garth put a fog maching in the cauldron along with green glow sticks. We also put a glowstick behind the eyes of the mask causing the whole mask to glow green. During the evening we noticed that the green glow was not as prominent as it was before. This was odd because glow sticks were supposed to last for 10 hours. So we checked it out and the kids who had chosen to take a closer look were taking the glowsticks!! Out of seven, only two were left. So we added a black light and a mini-strobe set to slow pulse. The effect was awesome. When it turned dark, I sat on a chair on the opposite side of our walk way. I was dressed as a witch and would sit as still as possible so when the people came up the way I could jump at them. We had a several really good screams and several words spoken that cannot be posted. :) So here are the pictures from our Halloween. (Try to imagine black lights and fog in the yard)

Wow. You guys are the Halloween kings (and queens). You really spent some time on some of those decorations didn't you? My kids would dig a mom like you. This was our first year decorating for halloween and guess what I did? Went to family dollar and bought little ghosts (for $1.50) to post in our flower garden and some window stickies (for $1.00) and our pumpkins of course. We went ALL out! My kids pretty much think we're lame parents and pretty much they're right.
Thanks for sharing. I'm glad you had a fun party and enjoyed scaring the poo out of innocent trick-or-treaters.
I commented on your last two posts too. I don't know what's going on with my blog but sometimes it doesn't show that someone has posted.
Love the halloween decorations. Hey if you want a 16 x 20 of that berries picture I can just send you one - or I can send it elecrontically and you can get it printed (then you wouldn't have to worry about it getting wrinkled.) I got a 16 x 20 printed at Sam's Club for under $7. Let me know. margaret.pavithran@gmail.com
Talk about going all out for Halloween! That's insane! We did a pumpkin, that was it! I made pumpkin seeds too, if that counts for anything. :) Well, and trunk-or-treat of course, but that's a given. Love the barfing pumpkin. :)
