Last night we hosted a Halloween costume party and game night for a few friends. We had a great time decorating the house in cobwebs, spiders, and candles. And I had fun making some spooky treats like mummy wrapped sausages, cobweb pizza, deviled egg "eyeballs," frankenstein rice krispy treats, and graveyard oreo dirt cake with the help of some friends.
The guest list included; a past due bill (our overdue preggo friend) and bill collector (her hubby), race car drivers complete with a race track and stop light, a farmer with scarecrow and flower, 20's flappers, the crew from Gilligan's island, ballerinas, ghostbusters, the "good night moon" bunny, a clown, Waldo, and even Popeye and Olive Oil.
Popeye and Olive Oil were the lucky winners of the costume contest and received a lovely prize ghost mug full of slime!
As is custom with this wonderful group of friends, we had a little male vs. female competitive Catch Phrase game. And as if we needed the extra incentive, the winners received homemade caramel apples. Of course the ladies bested the guys two out of three times but I think our husbands are pretty lucky because I'm sure all the sweet ladies at this party shared... maybe a little bite... :-P
Such a fun night made special by being surrounded by good friends, good conversation, and lots of laughter. Gotta love Halloween for bringing out the kid in all of us:)
