Joint Halloween Party

The night the ghost and goblins come to battle against the vampires and zombies....Colin and Connor's Halloween Party! So it has been a year since Colin's party and Connor and Colin decided to band together and plan a joint Halloween/Birthday party. The funny part is of course that Kaya's birthday is the only one actually in October but.....the boys love Halloween!

I must say that those that came, stayed and really made a night of it. The usual suspects arrived in full Halloween attire except for my lovely husband who was supposed to be Eric to my Sookie Stackhouse but never quite made the move to put on the fangs therefore making him just a man in a black t-shirt and jeans. Luckily for me, Matt is always there to ridicule Brian into doing something and the result is the picture above. It was quite imaginative. So my favorite costume? It had to be the visitor from OuterSpace...completely created by herself and all for under $20.00. It was really awesome and now makes her in the top 2 two years running.

Another fun costume was Donna and Jim who came as Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf. Unfortunately I wasn't able to take pictures until the end of the night because of the kids activities so by the time I got around to it, the Big Bad Wolf was ready to hit the hills and howl at the moon.

But my favorite part of the evening, (aside from Colin introducing me to his girlfriend Amber...AAGHH!!! that had to be scaries moment for me and Ambers Dad) was the haunted walk around the house. Which the kids won handily. The dads were completely shown up by the arrogance of their kids and lack of good old parental fear. After the mocking by the hands of the all the kids, the dads got together and plotted their plan for next years haunting. If they will actually follow through, I think it's going to be Kids 1 Dads 1. The gloves are off and the masks are on! I can't wait to hear the screams!!
