Halloween Party Extraordinaire + Tasia #7

Happy #7 Tasia- we love you!

Thanks to Juge and Moss and Christie, this Halloween Scrooge enjoyed a fun evening.  Everyone contributed something to the effort and it was a blast.  Thanks to all of you.  The party included tasty food (thanks to Brynn for sending cookies even when she wasn't in town to enjoy the fun), pumpkin carving by the men, banner making for the women, slime making for the kids, and games - bingo, cake walk, and Minute to Win It.  That was my favorite.  We tried to knock down card targets with rubber bands, stack golf balls, put together puzzles, order cups by how many pennies were in them, balance a marble on specific holes in an ironing board, and toss a bottled water on a table and have it land bottom down...all with a minute time limit to get the job done.  We also did a quick birthday sing/present opening for Tasia.  I feel bad that more of the pictures didn't turn out.  The lighting was difficult to manage.  Sorry that Ryan and Derek missed the fun.  Thanks again to everyone for a Halloween party extraordinaire!

If you aren't in the picture it's not because you weren't cute.  Picture taking is hard in the house. 

Monster fingers, it's hard to eat in a grape costume, a red-eyed ghost helping her dad, candy corns are not just for eating and pumpkin carving results.

Granny and Gramps Smith - these two really go all out.  Derek even shaved off some of his hair to make it realistic...and right before parent teacher conferences too!

Since I didn't get a good picture of "Thor" aka Zade at the party, Derek was good enough to share one with me.  Looks pretty cute, I mean tough, doesn't he?
