Colin and I decorated the courtyard and garage with lots of jackOlanterns, spiderwebs, a cemetary with a gravestone custom made for each guest, a scary witch, a flying skull ghost, bats, lights, camoflauge netting, scary music and a campfire in our grill. We made all sorts of fun party food including witch finger cookies, a candy cookie pizza, veggies and dip, pretzels and Bill brought pizzas. We had PLENTY to eat!!
They played a balloon popping game where they had to pop balloons with small prizes hidden inside. Then they played a game that had them all trying to eat gummy vampire teeth off a string held by their partner. They all had to go out into the garden next (it was very dark and creepy out there) and find some gourds that Colin had hidden earlier. Each gourd had a number on it that we used to seperate them into teams for the next game...a game where they and their partner carried packs of M&Ms across the courtyard and dropped it into a bucket and came back for more...first one to get so many in wins!
After that they gathered around the campfire for the story of Mr. Hal O'ween...complete with body parts for them to feel...peeled tomatos, spaghetti, dried apricot, catsup and more! ewww!!! It was starting to drizzle a bit by then so they went inside and told ghost stories by flashlight in the living room. We had printed some out earlier and had them numbered..so the number that was on the gourd they found helped us decide who read what story. Judging by the amount of laughter and screams and squealing I would say that the party was a success!
