Happy Halloween weekend, everyone! Though the holiday itself falls on a Monday this year, I hope you’ll have a chance to sneak in a little celebrating over the next couple days. Stephen and I got into the spirit a bit early last Saturday when we attended our friends’ annual party for a night of costumes, spooky décor, and my personal favorite, tasty themed treats.
 |
Stephen's creation, these Oreo brownie mice have almond ears, Red Vine tails and candy eyes. |
 |
Mummy cupcakes my mom sent us via Swiss Colony. Yum! |
 |
Sugar cookie skeletons. |
 |
Doughnut holes with eyeball frosting in a pail of Halloween sweet and sour candies. |
 |
Ghost and zombie brownies. |
 |
Bottles of poison and other "potions," including vampire-themed wines, added to the spooky vibe.
Not only was the party a great way to take a quick break from everything we have going on, but it also gave me a chance to bust out the old baseball uniform I wore when I played on a congressional team my very first summer in DC. Though I was never all that good at the actual “playing” part, being the Liberal Agenda's catcher is something I’ll never forget. Paired with a silly donkey mask I acquired one bygone election night, the jersey made for a quick and easy outfit. (Both Stephen and I were just too burnt out to get quite as creative as we did last year, when we went as Rick and Ilsa from Casablanca.)

Love all these awesome and fun looking treats! You need to post that picture everywhere because it is too cute!
ReplyDeleteI love your costume, and those treats look amazing! No dressing up for us this year, though I just found out that the wedding we are attending has a costume-themed after party. I may pick up a witch headband, but that's about it - next year, my raven costume WILL make an appearance :)
ReplyDeleteCute! Those mice look so real, I don't think I could eat it!
