Annual HALLOWEEN Party

Last year, Melissa and Brittany started hosting a Halloween party. I found some great cook books with fun looking "SPOOKY" food that we had every couple bring. This year the girls had it on Oct. 16th.... a bit early, but Brysen, Brits date was leaving on his mission 6 days later, so earlier was a must. We decorated the back yard really cute, and then the girls came up with a ton of great games.

1. pumpkin carving ( each couple ended up carving it to match their costumes).

2. big, bigger biggest. Took a small paper clip and had to go to houses in the neighborhood and trade them for a bigger item. Melissa''s group first traded for a stuffed duck, then kitchen knives, and then met some guys smoking pot and they traded the knives for a snowboard. One of the smokers was worried because he couldn't have a knife while he was on parole......IS THIS REALLY OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.....yikes!

3. donut eating from a string



4. eating dinner with odd utensils



5. snickers game (have to ask Melissa)



They had such a fun time, and everyone helped clean up which was a HUGE help as the party ended at 11pm and we were exhausted.

I'm not sure if the fish won for biggest. Notice Devon..... the kids end up giving the fish to Dev and it sleeps in his bed, under the covers, while he is at school. The final " Biggest" things were, our neighbors dog, a locker, this fish, a snowboard, and a printer.
I think Dallin ate with a measuring spoon - and he did have syrup up his sleeve!
Shaun did surprisingly well eating with the potato masher. I didn't even realize her date was Dallin Ray until halfway through the evening when I all of a sudden wondered....hey Dallin was suppose to be here. He kept that mask on the whole night!
Man from Snowy River.....Jace Tilly and Jacquie Zuniga
These kids were so on top of it. They all watched the movies that they dressed from and were quoting one liners the whole night. I'm so glad that nobody dressed in anything from "Nacho Libre" !
