Well, our party was a raving success!! The haunted house took some doing, but by 3.30 om Saturday afternoon, it had a smoke machine, spooky music, glow in the dark ghosts, bats and spiders, black and spooky finger lights, a "floating" witch and a bucket full of candy!!
Although the party started at 4pm, we waited until it got dark, around 5.15 before Chris let the kids into it. They entered through a curtain and had to go through two sections, then a tunnel, another two sections before they could get some candy and come out!! Some went through five or six times!!
The adults enjoyed themselves too, beer, wine and abundance of food flowed off the tables, although Chris & I managed not to get to eat any, and had to contend with the left-overs (of which there wasn't much!) once everyone had gone home and Tom had gone to bed!!
We strung lights across the patio, pumpkins, spiders and some gold and purple strings, and put standard lamps out to add to the ambience. Not bad for November 1st, a warm, sultry evening with a crescent moon in the sky!!
We seem to be getting a reputation as party-givers - now, when will the next one be?
