We got ready for our party on Halloween night... can you guess who I was? Are you more than just a little nervous?






The little children weren't terribly frightened of me... but they didn't like me, either. One little trick o' treater exclaimed, "I have a puppy at home, don't you come over!"

Whatever, kid. I've got people coming for a party. Must practice my crazy face.

Loopy was a character from the Wii video game, We Cheer. She looks anime, don't you think?

It must be the super-fly pink hair and poms. She worked it! The glittery false eyelashes did the trick, too.

Inside, the table is ready for our guests... anyone care for a brain cupcake? They are del.ic.ious.

Perhaps I could offer you a refreshing glass of dirty dishwater punch. It's a mixture of lemonade, pink lemonade, limeade, rainbow sherbet and club soda. Let it sit a while and foam up before serving... don't forget to put a dish scrubber in the bowl.

Chocolate dipped pretzel rods and Rice Krispie squares:

Not to mention my famous earwax on a swab:

We set up a photo studio in the front porch to photograph the guests as they arrived. Alexandra was voted "best costume" for her lululemon devil:

We had a sassy cowgirl!

A dead pirate cat! Whatever that is.

More devils! Some devils don't like having their photos taken:

The Cookie Monster came, with her own cookies in tow. As if she needed to bring cookies to this party.

Another little devil...

A very original interpretation of a secret agent...

... a stealth Ninja/catburglar...

a flesh-eating zombie...

... and yet another little devil! They must travel in herds...

Some kids just can't help being cute, no matter what costume they don:

... and some have a flair for the theatric and love posing as zombie brides:

Of the entire class, only ONE boy arrived. Trust me, we were cool with that. One boy + all the girls = no broken dishes or decorations.

Timo, take off that horrible, creepy mask so we can see your face!

That's better. Timo's cell phone went missing during tricks and treats. It got picked up and went around the city all evening. We called it and called it and eventually it was picked up in a cab and the driver brought it back... we tipped him and sent him packing with:

delicious goodies for the rest of his night behind the wheel!

We made sure everyone left with a pumpkin treat bag and an apple... it was a good party.
