Halloween Party 2010

Halloween 2010 started early at our house and it was awesome.

We decided to have a kid-centric celebration for all of Micah’s friends filled with costumes, piñatas, candy, pumpkins and a great hay ride. Not to mention some great games played on the Wii.

Everyone showed up, from Mario from Super Mario Bros. to Raven from Teen Titans. Even the adults dressed up with Zohan, Mongo, cowboys and girls, Jason and a Werewolf all coming to hang at the Burkey house.

Micah dressed up as Bowser, though it barely stayed on as he ran around the backyard and house with his friends. It is a great costume though, made by his two-mom (awesome job Amanda!) and was the hit among the kids.

Brittany planned on going as about three different things, even buying a couple costumes but she was so busy that she never had the chance to change into any of them. She had a blast though, and didn’t mind not getting a chance to change.

I went as a werewolf, it was a last second attempt of some sort of costume. I just threw on some overalls, a plaid shirt and a werewolf mask and I seemed to fit the part. However, the mask is a bit scary so I took it off for most of the party for the kid’s sake. So for most of the party I just looked like a hillbilly since the overalls didn’t fit well.

Jason and I had fun scaring everyone that went on the hayride. Our conversations as we were waiting for the truck to come down the road were very entertaining. I’m surprised the police weren’t called on us a few times, as we were hiding from cars driving by on the road, but maybe we are just that good at hiding.

The kids loved it when we started chasing the trailer and laughed even harder at me when I chased after the trailer for a second time. Long story short: I thought Jason got left behind so I went back for him, only to realize he was riding on the back of the trailer. Good times lol.

All in all Micah had a blast, and I’m pretty sure all of his friends loved it. I’m glad that we were able to throw such a big kids party. Nobody got hurt, nothing really got broken, Mongo wrecked havoc on the kids and we all slept like a rock after the party.

Happy Halloween! Thanks to my wonderful wife for putting most of this together and thanks to my parents, Britt's parents, Anita and Raleigh and Brooke for helping in the kitchen and setting up decorations!
