Dennis and Teresa's 5th Annual Halloween Party

This year we hosted our 5th Annual Halloween Party. It is hard to believe we have been doing this for five years. Now that we have a house, I found that I was buying decorations on a daily basis.

We had a great time at our party. The costumes are getting better every year. Teresa was "Hulk Hogan" and I simply dressed in a black robe and wore a skeleton mask that had red illuminating eyes.

This year's "Best Costume" was very close, but Emily "pushed out" the win as a "Whoopie Cushion."Here are some pictures from the party.

Teresa's work crew:

Flavor Flav and escort:

Tag Team Wrestlers, but were no match for Hulkamania:

And yes, even Molly had a costume on, but was scared to death of all the decorations in the house, especially those that move and made noises:

This year, I was able to be home and hand out candy on Halloween night, while Teresa was working. Since we have now live in a neighborhood, I expected a lot trick-or-treaters. I decided to have fun with all them......

I dressed up in my costume from the Halloween party and sat in a chair on the front porch. I set the bowl of candy on my lap and was motionless until some went to help themselves to treats, little did they know they were in for a trick. You would be surprised at how many thought I was a fake person. It was very amusing to listen as trick-or-treaters debated whether or not I was real.

This was the reaction I mainly got once I revealed that I was indeed a 'real person.' One group, that were high school aged kids, ran off the porch and down the street screaming.

Boy, do I love Halloween!

Hey there,

stumbled over here via Riz and T. Just had to comment on the Halloween goings on, as it's my favorite holiday of the year.

Sitting out in costume is the best idea ever! Man, I might have to try it next year. That's hysterical.

Looks like a great time. The costumes were awesome. Love the scaring the kids on the porch. Sounds like something you'd come up with, Dennis. Wish I could have seen their faces. I'm going to get an awesome costume and crash the party next year. Looks like so much fun........Mom
