Party Time, Excellent.

Despite some culinary missteps (my lady fingers turned out a tad on the pudgy side, my shards of "glass" were more frosted than see-thru —shhhhh don't tell Martha) our Halloween party was amazing — and every single person came in costume, even my man's dad who had on such a convincing "Justin's Dad" costume that he was voted runner-up in the costume contest (the top prize went to a very authentic Macho Man Randy Savage).

We also had a Wayne and Garth, the Christmas Story Leg Lamp, Green Man, two Michael Jacksons (one came with her own "little" boy in a onesie), a sexy Robinhood, Robin (minus Batman), one third of Run DMC, Elmo, an old man in a cowboy hat (aka my grandpa), a pirate, an owl, a real child with a blue face, three vampires and two very classy, fantastically fancy foxes.

In addition to great costumes, there was some pretty delicious (and spoooooky!) food...

Two jack-o-lantern scarecrows, some creepy porch decorations and a few hundred sparkle lights to greet our guests...

Carved critters...

Bottles of "poison" and a dead flower arrangement...

I also may have spent a lot more more than I had intended on decorations/every Halloween-themed thing I could find, but now I'm just extra prepared for next year, right?
