Halloween Party

Jack has discovered he can watch the neighbor dog from here. Note his cute pumpkin outfit!

Halloween- We had a progressive Halloween dinner for the youth and our house was the final stop for dessert and a haunted house. We have a really scarie basement that was just waiting for
haunting. Erik and one of his buddies did the set up with alot of fake cobwebs added to the real ones. They also made a graveyard in the backyard, so we started in the yard telling a story about the dancehall and a dancehall murderer in years past that murdered women and buried them in the yard. Our Bishop was the grim reaper running thru the crowd screaming as I was telling them stories, he has our old scythe in hand and was pretty scarie. His son was a ghost wandering around.

Here's Erik with the chain saw , this was the final stop on the way out of the basement- I think this is where the girls started crying (only 3 of them, but it made the boys call the whole thing a sucess) We also had a crazed Dr with a person on his surgical table and he was taking out body parts and eating them and offering the kids a bite, they went thru a good amount of wurst! The night was a huge sucess. Rich was on call and happy to miss the whole thing. Jack was very concerned about the ghosts out in the yard and had to go bark at them everytime he went out. Here are pictures of the haunted house and yard. The clean up is almost done, just a graveyard to dismantle. Everyone thinks we have the perfect house for Halloween, the basement is still scarie even after the clean up!
Rich and Erik are doing another marathon this weekend. Erik is really getting a strong start wiht 3 marathons in 6 weeks. Anne and I are going to do a walk while they run thru the woods, maybe we'll get a medal this time too!
