It was a dark and stormy night (and day) this Halloween.  We missed out on the church’s annual Trunk or Treat party, which was held the weekend before Halloween, but Thing One had a great time at the youth group party earlier this week.  The highlight of the evening was the blindfolded “guess that food” game, only this time the mystery items weren’t innocuous peeled grapes, Jell-O, and such:  instead the teens plunged their fingers into genuine sheep’s tongue, heart, and brains (all of which our YM president, a.k.a. “Igor”, procured at the Pike Place Market).  A pumpkin carving contest, bobbing for apples, and cookie decorating rounded out the evening’s fun.

Thing Two was a monkey this year, from his fuzzy costume to his favorite monkey T-shirt and his Halloween monkey socks.  Now those were a lucky find!  Thing One was a rugby player this year, but Uncle B. thought it was a teenager costume.  While Thing One was at school, Thing Two helped make Halloween cupcakes.  We don’t get many trick-or-treaters as it is, and the rain and cold kept them away this year.  As a result, we have a nearly full candy bowl which ought to keep Team Gimlet on a sugar high until it’s time to bake Christmas cookies.

    We also missed trunk or treat but it was on purpose :) We got literally 3 trick or treaters! Unless you count our own kids, then we had 6. I can’t believe they had those actual things for them to touch – ick!!! But very creative so the ick-factor is actually pretty cool. :)

    We spent the trunk-or-treat day at the zoo, which was fun, but the boys were a little disappointed at missing out. Our HT felt bad that we’d missed it, so he brought us a bag of candy.

    Mike’s son Drew actually came up with the new party game idea – he thought it would be a lot cooler if everyone assumed it was the same old safe game, but the stations really did have gross innards. Mike had a lot of fun finding everything. Some of the youth turned green when they found out what they’d been squishing so enthusiastically. Now that’s a successful Halloween game! :D
