Another success...

With ten kids in 13 years, trick or treating door-to-door became an impossibility -- so several years back Antlerman and Creative C began hosting a fall costume party. As with all great events each year is just a little different from the last and you can count on the dynamic duo coming up with new ways to entertain us. So Saturday night the kids drug out the costumes... you'll notice DitzyDanzer and ZMan decided to go back in time... Al Capone and Laura Ingalls. Could we have been more polar opposite?

The party starts off with a parade of costumes. This year's parade included the Hulk, toothfairy, a daisy and fairy princess, TWO witches, cheerleaders, Indiana Jones, a soldier, Sully, a librarian, Harry Potter, Hannah Montana, a frog, knight, scarecrow, Brian Urlacher and Cat in the Hat... and my personal favorite Sally donned her letterman's jacket, converse sneakers, kermit tshirt and even tight rolled her jeans (flashback anyone) to appear as the Golden Child!

This year's new addition, a pumpkin carving station. Creative C had asked that the adults "help" with this little project... I think the Big Kids kinda took this one over.

The party culminates in a hayride and hot chocolate around a roaring bonfire. Antlerman takes great pride in his fire making skills... You may notice that this year we were encouraged to put the little ones in the back of the truck. That's because this year we went "off road" for a spooky ride through the woods... I did say it gets better every year right.

Kudoos, Creative C and Antlerman for another year of memories. You never disappoint!
