Halloween... in November

Ok, I know that's it's halfway through November and most of you don't really care about Halloween anymore. I guess that's the problem with getting behind on posting around the holidays. Oh, well. I have pictures I must share!

We had a good time with Halloween this year. It started with a cool visit from some super cute trick-or-treaters.

A fairy-kitten and a fairy-pumpkin. Store-bought costumes aren't as creative as I remember. But the kids like them, so it's ok.

Halloween is fun!!

Halloween night was pretty calm for us. We gave candy to lots of trick-or-treaters until we ran out. The little one got tired of trick-or-treating early in the evening, so we kept her at our house while her sister kept making the rounds. She tuckered out pretty fast.

But Halloween wasn't over for us. The following weekend we had our second annual Halloween Party! I recognize that it's a little weird to have a costume party a week after Halloween, but I don't care!

It was a good time. I made some yummy snacks, and most of us dressed up in silly costumes. Our costume theme this year was internet sensations and viral videos. We had the double rainbow guy, cigar guy, chimpanzee riding on a segway, Dr. Horrible and Captain Hammer, Marzipan and Homestar Runner, Foamy the Squirrel, and Facebook herself. (If you don't know some of those references, use google and youtube to waste a few hours of your time.)

Food. Cupcakes (some brought by my good buddy, Mel), guacamole, tortilla rolls, bacon weenies, and fruit salsa with cinnamon chips.

Chatting. I was glad to see some friends I don't get to see very often!

Viewing funny videos on the laptop I set up so people could show others the inspiration for their costumes.

Dr. Horrible and Captain Hammer!

Setting the cloak back. We were excited to have an extra hour to party!

So it was a pretty fun evening of eating, drinking, chatting, and being silly. This whole Halloween party thing seems to be turning into a yearly tradition for us!
