Yummy Eats and Ghoulish Decor

Below are a few photographs of the delicious party food and the Halloween decorations. Thanks to all who brought good eats and drinks.

Autopsy Room

The blood drenched Autopsy Room for the Halloween Party was created with the help of Larry and the Densley's. We tried going all out using a gallon of red paint, finding/borrowing creepy tools and props, and stuffing/positioning a fake body. The room was a big hit at the party!

Pumpkin Hunting

We picked up 400-lbs of pumpkins for the carving party at a pumpkin-patch on Redwood Road. Because of Ken's good looks and charm the ladies took off 5-cents a pound (yeah, Ken is going to kill me when he reads this *snicker*).

10/09/2008 - STITCHES

So it was a trip to the doctor's office to get stitches after I sliced open my hand while washing a glass. I was later chastised by Mr. Ken for not using our long-handled scrub brush to do the glass washing (oops, my bad). I think I just about gave him a heart-attack on the phone ("I cut myself and I am bleeding really bad!"), so a little bit of scolding was in order. These are my first stitches and golly, gee whiz did they hurt! I was promised a lollipop (which I never saw and in retrospect, I think it was all a ploy to gain my cooperation) and called "kiddo" by the doctor. The wound is healing up and I am scheduled to get the stitches out on Thursday.
