The countdown is on!

A quick photo of the final product. 

A bit of paint to cover the icky gold frame; a few tombstones and letters and VOILA! 

We have our countdown to Halloween!

More photos anyone?

A few photos taken by a guest at the party using their Blackberry.

Halloween night...

A few more pics...

A few more photos from the party...

This is "Logan". 

His costume is authentic down to the Indian Head belt buckle.  Want to see a close up of his claws?  They are AEWSOME!!!

Lurking in the cemetery....

This is what will be lurking in the cemetery tonight when the kids come trick-or-treating...

Here he is again...

Party Photos

After the hustle and bustle of getting the house, cemetery, hair, makeup, costumes and food done the party began. Guests trickled in and the costumes were fantastic! 

Mother Nature left a trail of leaves where she walked, the Mummy raised a glass of Crown Royal with Floyd our resident skeleton and Logan (aka Wolverine) stabbed his food with his steel blade claws. Dog the Bounty Hunter and his wife Babs walked away with our Best Costume award for excellent costumes. There were folks in capes and wickedly cool masks, some menacing jesters, Mike Meyers (complete with bloody knife), a devil who is too sweet to be mean and a corpse bride who ate nothing but chocolate! All in all a very good party. 

I'll leave with with some photos of the buffet we had...

Tomorrow is the Party!

Tomorrow is going to be a very busy day for me as I have a hair appointment in the early afternoon (I haven't the faintest idea how a tiara should be attached and it has spiders so there really is no way I'll be able to touch it), my make-up to apply, the tent for the backyard party area to have delivered and put up (like I'd be any help in putting it up - the thing is HUGE!), then our buffet table needs to be set-up for the food (catered) in the late afternoon (linens are being delivered tomorrow too) and then our gruesome guests are expected in the early evening!  And somewhere in the midst of all that I need to help my sweetie get into his costume - it's going to take a two people, some patience and a camera to get him into his Predator costume me thinks! 

It's going to be a monster bash!
