Atkins Annual Halloween Shindig

Last Night was our annual Halloween party. They aren't big events with lots of people, but they are always fun and filled with silliness.

Here are some pictures for your possible enjoyment.


I was a gypsy and Chris was a Medieval alchemist.


Nikki was Daria. Very well done indeed. And Our friend Jess was Jane and she did a great job, but for some reason, despite telling myself I needed to get a picture of them together, I never did... I am regretting it now cause it was fantastic.


Chris made potions of Hawaiian punch and grape drink. They were a nice touch.


This is Samuel. A candle we bought at Target about 4 years ago. We light him every year in hopes that he will fulfill his destiny to bleed from the eyes. Well... he finally did. it took 4 years of lighting him, but he finally did it!


Now for the food...

everyone helped by bringing some food since I started my new job this week and we weren't sure when I was going to get paid and Mortgage is coming up.



Nikki brought some truffles on pretzel sticks, I still haven't tried one because I instead gorged myself on the ugly bean dip she brought, but I saved one and I will!


I created a build your own s'mores arrangement with witch burning pyres and a graham cracker graveyard.



I was going to put ghost peeps on sticks, but waited too late and we didn't get any.
I did snag the Martha Steward Vials on sale and filled them with M&Ms.... I mean pills that would turn you into a monster....

I also made crescent mummies because I always do, though I didn't make as many since the food to people ratio was low and I have to make them again today.



I have another party tonight at church and I'm pretty sure it involves launching giant stuffed birds with a catapult. I'm pretty excited!
