Halloween- Boooo!

We decided- upon insistence by our pro-party-throwing Mother, that we would put together a little Halloween party in our garage- a throw-back to the GREAT ones that used to take place annually at my grandma's house when we were young. Unfortunately, the pro-party-thrower was in Houston at a quilt show- leaving behind 3 fairly lame daughters who were less than motivated (who knew?) and- to be fair, several of us had the flu that week- up until Thursday night...that's a good excuse-right? Not really, but ANYWAY, we DID at least have a party with our 3 families and it was SUCH a perfect Halloween night- totally unheard of around here. It couldn't have been cooler than 65 degrees- so our garage "party" was comfortable in addition to fun since no one was freezing. Emily made some delicious Chili- a Halloween tradition, and I made some cornbread and we had a Fishing booth and everything- so it was LIKE a real party. The kids LOVED dressing up( ...with exception of Jack, Beth's little boy, who we finally slapped a spare fireman hat on and called a fireman) and trick-or-treating was a huge success. Overall, a good night.
