Well, we seem to be missing some posts from this year but I'll just go on from now.........it's almost Halloween!! Only 53 days to go! We have been planning our yearly Halloween party and have found some great new ideas at Halloween-Online.com .

This year we are thinking of having a Alice in Wonderland party but with a more sinister edge to it. The wife really loves that Tim Burton movie. I'll be the Mad Hatter and she'll be Alice. Other party goers can dress as anyone else except those two characters. So we may end up with lots of Red Queens, White Queens, Staynes and other characters. We may have to coordinate to avoid this problem. We found some great costume info at Halloween-Online.com's costume section.


Party ideas will be to have the party area look kind of like the long table area outside where the Mad Hatter was always seen having tea. The whole house, or what will be seen by party goers will look along the same vein. Very dark, brooding, Victorian. Drinks will be served in glass bottles that all have "Drink Me" labels on them. Little cakes will be served that say "Eat Me" on them, Wraith is making those herself. We'll serve other edibles as well, we don't have the menu down exactly yet.

More on this as it comes up! Should be fun! Weather permitting, we may hold it out in our back yard which is full of creepy looking trees.
