Girls Cross Country Halloween Party

Another one of the cross country girls' annual parties, is a halloween party.  We started off with supper, and then went into some games.  We are usually pretty creative in entertaining ourselves.  I had one planned game, and then we were going to carve pumpkins.  But, we got a little carried away in our creative entertaining, that we ended up not carving pumpkins.

My Mom hung some fun orange lights around our dining room, where we ate.  We did have this light-up witch's hat for the center piece, but it decided not to work right before the party.  So, I put a pumpkin there instead.

We had tacos- soft shell, hard shell, or nachos, with many toppings- mango salsa, sour cream, chopped black olives, cheese, lettuce, southwest dip, taco sauce, onions, and homemade salsa.  We also, had grapes, veggies and dip, taco dip, and I made the Pioneer Women's Pico De Gallo (it was delicious!).

My Mom put some extra sour cream in the plastic baggie, cut a slit at one corner, and then squeezed it out onto the taco dip to look like a spider's web.  What a fun and easy addition to make  it more festive?

To drink we had Izzy's and water.  I made some sugar cookies for a treat and then put out peanuts and candy corn and peanut m&ms.

We were to wear a custom.

This is my brother.  I am not sure what exactly he is supposed to be though.  He and my sister dressed up too.

For the one planned game, we wrapped each other up, in toilet paper, to look like mummies.  At the beginning of the party we had only six of the girls, an even number.  But, one girl joined us in time to get wrapped as a mummy.  Since, now, there was an odd number of us, six of us partnered up.  One person wrapped the other, with a whole role of toilet paper, to look like a mummy.  Then, the three mummies, wrapped the seventh person as a mummy.  It made it a little more difficult, because most of the mummies had no hands.

We got creative with the toilet paper scraps.

Who Knew?  Someone could make a dress out of toilet paper.

This poor girl made it state.

We, also, had fun dancing to some halloween music.  Then, we went downstairs and had an "America's Got Worst Talent" show.  We got very carried away in the show... we were doing it for like an hour and a half!  It was fun though.  We got some great laughs and some of the silliness out of us.
