No, we didn't drink too much, but we definitely partied too hard. We had Peanut's birthday party and our annual Hallowwen Bash on the same day. That's right. Two parties in one day. Another of Claire's ideas that sounds so much better in my head than in real life. I think it is really sweet that my husband goes along with my wacked out ideas, but this was honestly my wackiest. I've done parties that were a day apart, but never a two-fer. And never again. I am reformed. That is one bad idea that won't be revisited.
Now don't get me wrong, we had fun at both events, but every square inch of our house and backyard is in shambles. We had 20 childeren and at least that many adults in our home and yard eating caramel apples, powdered donuts, candy, cupcakes, hot dogs, and chili. Most surfaces in the kitchen are sticky or crumb-y. We have done 6 loads of dishes since noon yesterday and have filled both our trash can and recycle can to over flowing. And Peanut has spread her toys all through the house. Tread carefully, my friends.
There are some great pictures of the Halloween party which will have to wait until I find my camera. It may be days before it resurfaces in this mess...
