Halloween Party

My sister hosted a Halloween party for our immediate family on Saturday.  My sister and her family love Halloween so she encouraged everyone to dress up.  I am not a big fan of Halloween but to make my sister happy, I bought a long black wig with silver streaks in it on Friday on clearance for $4.17 and spent .97 cents on some white cream for my face and figured I'd wear a black dress I already own and put some makeup on my face.  It turns out my costume, especially my makeup, turned out great.  Here's the run down on the rest of the costumes:

Jamie: Elvira
Tom: Skeleton hoodie
Keith: Jason
Colton: Owl
Michael: Hockey mask
Mom: Gypsy Witch
Dad: Mental Patient

My dad looked awesome as a mental patient, which I suppose I could argue that it wasn't that big of a stretch for him.  Of course I'm kidding, Dad!  He had a hospital gown on with dark circles under his eyes and a messy wig and he kind of just wondered around with a blank face and his mouth open carrying his rubber chicken.

We had a potluck of party food, desserts and candies and played Catchphrase and Mad Gab throughout the night and had lots of fun.

I made Rice Krispie Mummies and white fudge that looked like Candy Corn.

Twenty years ago today, Minnesota experienced the infamous Halloween Blizzard of 1991, where 28.4 inches fell in the Twin Cities.  For those that don't get snow, 10 inches of snow equals 1 inch of rain.  Do you remember that day?  I was trick-or-treating as a 14 year old in my neighborhood with my sister and we were walking through snow that was easily past our knees as we went through the yards.
