Because nothing screams children's Halloween party like bloody shards of glass in your cupcakes!

Cousins have moved to Oak Park

Judging by the amount of hotdogs we had left over (not many), I'd say we had close to 40 people over to our house last Friday night.  We had prepared for 50.  It is fair to say that Jerry and I are certifiably crazy.  We scraped together some costumes for the kiddos, lit a fire, made a pot of mulled wine, popped some popcorn and hosted an outdoor screening of "The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown".  Afterwards the kids ran around in the dark, tulle and capes flying.  Tinkerbell and Merida almost had their wigs catch fire and a princess had to have her dress cut free from tricycle spokes, but other than that it was a great evening.
