Fall Party!

We had a Halloween party this weekend! If you ask Amya she will tell you it was our "Fall Party", because she does not like Halloween.

Most people dressed up, but I didn't pick up my camera until later in the evening. I think there is a picture of the Shaw family in our costumes, but I don't know who took it! I'm trying to track it down.

The evening ended with a bonfire in the backyard. Most of the men congregated out there. I sat with them for a little while and got insight into the minds of men. I heard some funny advice to a father-to-be involving diapers and a good night's sleep.

The kids did laps inside the house and played "swords" with glow sticks in the dark yard.

Amya was asleep within minutes of Greg finishing this story. Other kids were having screaming wrestling matches all around her as she slept peacefully.

Amya was a flower, Dan was a blond pregnant woman, and I was a black cat (again).

At the party were also a couple dinosaurs, a Rubik's cube, a ghost buster, a few cowboys/cowgirls, a mid evil wench, a magician, a zebra and pea pod, Dorthy, another black cat (I guess I wasn't original enough!), a pumpkin and a turtle!

I hope I didn't leave anyone out.

(did I mention the kids had fun?)
