Happy Halloween!


Madison was a gypsy.Spencer was a gypsy, too, and I was a pirate. We went to my frined Pam's house for a pretty neat Halloween party. Pam has a forest at her house. She built a door to her forest, which she calls the Narnia door. Behind the Narnia door, trails are lined with candles- some on the ground, some in trees. There are small houses behind the door, and a stage and a place for a fire. Pam and her band played music while the rest of us enjoyed the break in the rain. Pam's husband made caramel apples on a stick- but the sticks were the handles of disposable razors. The razors were still attached, but he did tape over the blade.
There was a bedside commode willed with water and apples for bobbing. A pack of tarot cards was laid on a table with a bundle of small twigs to burn for smoke. Watermelons (!) were carved into creepy Jack-O-Lanterns, and severed human limbs were tucked here and there.

Spencer by a tree full of candles. I think this looks like an album cover.

Happy Halloween!

  1. I am glad you didn't go the Headless Madison route -

    Is Pam always so creative? or does it only come out at Halloween?

    We had one trick or treater, and Ike got mad when it was me.

  2. What great costumes! Madison looks great! Spencer, well, if I didn't read that he was a gypsy, then I probably would've assumed he was a hippie. It's always so great when guys dress up though. Jason went as Kevin Bacon one year, which consisted of the jeans and sweatshirt he was wearing that day already.
