Halloween Party 2008

Barbara and I hosted our Halloween party last night and everyone had a great time. First let me show you some of our decorations. Our victims, I mean guests where greeted with.


The front parlor was cleaned and ready for our victims, I mean guests (did I do that again?).

A interesting saying is posted as you come into the kitchen/dinning room.



There where some warnings around the house to keep our guests safe ( I got it right that time).

For those who choose not to heed the warning where met with...
The host and the hostess are Ray and Barbara dressed in their Halloween best.

Enough of the decorations it is time to meet our guests, I mean victims, no I mean guests.

First to arrive was Joan.

Next was Doug (aka Easy Lay, I think I'm in lust) and Stephanie (our roof neighbors)

Next the condiments arrived as Jack and Louise

Last but not least to arrive where Betty and Harold.

After everyone arrived we played a guessing game. Barbara placed a sticker on our guests backs and by asking yes and no questions they had to figure out who or what they where. After a few minutes it was apparent that was not working so we started giving hints and everyone was successful in guessing what was on their sticker. Then before dinner was served we passed around a jar filled with candy and everyone had to guess how many where in the jar. It was just a pint jelly jar and most people guessed why too high. After all guesses where written down the closest was 30 guessed by Betty, the number of candies in the jar was 38. Next it was time for dinner which Barbara had been stirring:


Between dinner and desert we had a spooky story about John Bones who left his body parts for us to feel. First where his guts (cold pasta), then his ear (dried apricot), etc... You get the idea. Then came desert with coffee and home made cookies and brownies. After desert we had goody bags passed out with some tricks and some treats. Then there where the Halloween Crackers, like Christmas Crackers but for Halloween, we got some really good ones this year, the toys went all over the place, as usual, but everyone put their hats on and read thier jokes. Then we went back into the parlor to digest all we had eaten and to talk some more. I asked the question "how many dirty crooks where in the room, and after reciting the peom:

Made you look

You dirty Crook

Stole your Mother's pocketbook

Some hands went up, mostly from the females in the group, hahahaha.

Today I printed out the pictures I had taken and Barbara delivered some and I delivered some and everyone told us how much they enjoyed themselves at the party.
