Bob and Gloria are crazy over Halloween, Every corner of their beautifully landscaped yard had something spooky, scary or screeching hidden away. So...they threw a party this year.
I decided costumes were in order. For about a week the sewing machine was out...fabric and pattern pieces laying everywhere...and even a pin now and then got stepped on...ouch! Six yards of fabric spread out on the floor is quite a challenge in an RV without slides. But before long we had managed to put together costumes and none of the neighbors knew, what they would be...hee-hee....Six yards of fabric for each costume...two silly wigs...two black costume little girl's petticoats with battery-operated Halloween lights sewn in for collars...and two nerf bullet guns to shoot at the party-goers...yep, we did!...and, wallaaaa, Killer Klowns from Outer Space...sorta...lol
There was a ghost show up, who refused to speak to anyone...a cowgirl, who unloaded her real six shooter and wore it...even Waldo came to the party.
The snacks were the greatest...Frankenstein's false teeth...green witch's fingers...spider chocolate truffles...kitty litter box cake...and more all homemade...yummmy...
I wish I had gotten a picture of ours. But not, so I'll go online and find a similar one. I picked up a great ceramic tray bordered with peppers at a garage sale...carved a small gnarly pumpkin with a big mouth...made extra special chunky guacamole, which came pouring out of the pumpkin's mouth. Yessiree, that pumpkin was hurling guacamole dip...lol
Oh...something we learned...the Halloween make-up from the dollar store isn't so great. It was difficult to get the colors dark and sharp and there was barely enough of the white...but the price was right!
