its my party, i can post two weeks late if i want to...

i know, i know,  halloween is soooo over. but today i'm posting about mine.
for my birthday i wanted to be surrounded by my friends....and i got my wish!

they came as robbers and cowboys, creeps and death-eaters, some came dressed as themselves, and others came straight from work, but all were equally welcome. everyone was given 5 pieces of candy try to toss in the pumpkin bucket--whoever got the most pieces in at the end of the night won the bucket of sugary treats!

and then there was food. oh boy was there food! we had 7-layer dip and chips, apple slices, cucumber sandwiches, cupcakes, pumpkin cookies, monster munch popcorn, and all sorts of candy. but i think everyone was a little sick of sugar from ward parties and work parties, because all the dip and apples and sandwiches were eaten up and lots of treats remained (too many treats remained! and kyle and i were stuck with eating them for the next week).

then we talked, we listened, we laughed, and when we were all caught up, we played a game: have you learned anything from horror movies? we split into teams and then had to answer....

you car runs out of gas in the middle of nowhere, you can't get any cell service, its growing dark and the only places nearby are an abandoned-looking house, an amusement park, and a seedy looking bar. what do you do?

you have just shot the psycho murderer 3 times in the head, 2 times in the chest, and 1 time in the leg. he appears to be dead. what do you do?

the zombie apocalypse has happened. where is the safest place to hide. (note: you must remain on earth)

we answered about 15 of these questions and it was so funny to hear everyone's answers. i got the idea from a website, that for some reason isn't working today, but it was called ghoulfriday.com.

and then too soon it was late, and the party was ending. but i had the best time and it was so great seeing everyone AND i have pictures! Except i have no idea how to do picture collages. you know, the ones that everyone else who blogs uses, so that pictures don't have to put up one by one on blogger? if you are one of those bloggers, please let me know your secret!
