Halloween Party

Our two skeletons before the party. (Vance looks a little Joker-esque, hopefully I'll be able to get the make-up right before trick or treating.)

So my friend Leslie is AMAZING and organized this whole Halloween party for us last night. The boys were so excited! Good friends, fun games, good food, and kids high strung on pop and cupcakes how could it NOT be a great party?! lol But really it was so fun! I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

THE CHARACTERS:

The Rosen's
(2 skeletons, a cop and a robber)

The Ladies

The kids
(We only thought to take pictures at the END of the party.
OOPS!)

Mommy and her two cute skeletons


THE GAMES:

Brett Michaels and Madonna were our hosts for the evening.




Okay, have to add a little history behind the boys costumes. Last year the boys were terrified of some of the older kids dressed up as skeletons (like teenaged kids so they were intended to be scary). Then this year when we'd go into stores with decorations they- and especially Vance- were still a little afraid of them. They would tell me "Mommy I'm allergic to skeletons." So when we asked them what they wanted to be for Halloween and Vance said skeleton I was weary. But he insisted and then Joel joined him so we thought "Here goes nothing." But the boys were so excited when they got their costumes from Nama and never looked back. Unfortunately the tables were turned a little last night at the party. Many of the kids were a little weary of them! It just makes me laugh that Vance is so ready to meet his fears head on like that. What a kid!
