Halloween Party

I don't think much about Halloween.  It has never been one of my favorite holidays. What I do like about Halloween is the fun decorations.  Orange is not one of my favorite colors, but I find myself SO attracted to it this time of year.  Paul thinks I am sort of silly and that I go a little over board...
 But, last year we told Lincoln he was too old to trick-or-treat.  Instead, we offered to throw him a Halloween party - and it was lots of fun.  We had a costume contest, donut eating contest, played charades, can you tell the candy bar and music trivia... 
Needless to say, we are having another Halloween party this year.  Another costume contest, donut eating contest, more charades,  and music trivia...  But year we are adding a new item if I can pull it together.  WE are playing - what is in the box.  The kids will stick their hands in a box and have to tell us what "body part" they think they are feeling (peeled grape could be an eyeball etc.).  The boys will love this, the girls - not so much...  I am excited to meet all of Link's new friends and get to know the old ones better.  The house is covered in cob webs and pumpkins and gourds.  I got two new little signs to hand outside and little spiders to put in the cob webs. 
I'd love to do a lot more, but I just haven't got the time... Maybe I do kinda like Halloween after all...
Ya think?
