Due to upcoming renovations we decided to have Boo's 13th birthday party early this year. Apparently the 2nd grade Halloween party we thew, is a prominent memory for her girlfriends. So we promised after last years birthday that Boo could have another Halloween party for this year.

| Day of the Dead - Sugar Skull |
 |
| A Zoo Keeper riding an Ostrich |
 |
| Halloween Twister |
We had 3 cats, 1 Zombie soccer player, Harry Potter, a deviled egg, 1 Hippie and Day of the Dead Boo. Most of my Halloween decorating will be curtailed due to construction, so it was a great excuse to haul it all out for the party.
We set up a beverage station in the new Kitchenette. Check out the floating eyeballs in the punch jug. I wasn't willing to sacrifice my new couch and area rugs so all clear beverages. Learned my lesson from last year and also NO CAFFEINE.
Inspired by my sister Jen, we also used the Kitchenette as a mock photo-booth or photo room. Using their own cell phones, they played with Halloween themed frames and props to take loads of photos and selfies.
Here come the fun food - thank you Pinterest: (apple faces not pictured)

| Donuts with Vampire Fangs |

| Puking pumpkin Hummus dip - Boo carved this bad boy! |

| Party Mix - nothing cheesy to stain my coach with |

| Chocolate Spider Trifle - *sigh the chocolate syrup ran |
We had a costume contest, Halloween Twister, Freeze Dance, a photo booth contest, Karaoke and believe it or not ALL of the girls begged to play Musical Chairs (throw back to Gr. 2), so we improvised and did Musical Pillows. Very scary movies were out since we had some scaredy pants present. Warm Bodies and Coraline scared the $%&@ out of them LOL.

Karaoke was CRAZY! I was crying from laughing so hard. We had to call Karaoke quits around 1:30 a.m. when it got a bit too loud and screamy. I think most of the guest went home without their voices.
