Monster Mash!

Tons of awesome Lego stuff! Catapults, action figures, robots...

Having a snack. I really let them have whatever they wanted. Hey, it was a party, right?

It's Saturday night, and what a great weekend already! Friday night, an old friend that I haven't seen in ages decided last minute to go to another old friend's ballet performance of Dracula. I was actually quite impressed, and we had a great time! I'm not the biggest fan of the ballet, but it was good. I'm pretty much on board with anything Halloween related....which is my segway to tonight's event...

Last year me and Joe went to a Mother/Son Halloween party that was hosted by the local police and fire department. We had a ball, so me and both boys went again this year. I was a witch, and the boys were Mario and Luigi. When we were getting ready Joe came in my room and I said, "Hey Luigi!" and he quickly came back with "Hi there WITCH!" I dunno, the way he said it made me think about what he really wanted to say. I gave him the benefit of the doubt.

So, we got all costumed up, dropped off the Princess and went to the party. The party that Jackson has said he didn't want to go to all week because it was too scary. However, nothing was that scary (although I did get quite a jolt at the haunted house...not the boys...just me) and we had a blast!!

We first went and got our picture taken, then checked out the fire truck and SWAT cars. We got to climb all over, talk with the guys, try on gear...the works! Then did a bit of bouncing and sliding on the inflatables, had a snack, did some dancing, played some games, danced, went through the haunted house, played at the Lego station...we did it all! Of course the whole place was full of candy for the taking and scary decorations. The invitation specifically said "kid friendly costumes" and I'm not sure that includes the French Maid get up or skanky Robin Hood outfit....not to mention the cheerleader or the stripper version of Princess Leah. Oh well.

We stayed out late partying, and everyone crashed the second we got home. Lots of fun was had by all, and we'll definately go again next year!
