So, I said before my cousin Justin, my sister, Katie, and I had been planning on going around with the kids but that changed--Justin had to go to Denver to get his apartment and Mandy and Trish decided to go out with the kids themselves. So Katie went to a party instead. I ended up staying in at my aunt and uncle's house.

Every Halloween, they host what a Potato Bar, which is basically for adults and kids to warm up or calm down. They provide baked potatoes with lots of toppings (including my aunts amazing green chilli) as well as drinks and chips and dips. Its pretty much open to all the family and friends.

My aunt gave me the task, since I was quote, "so nicely dressed up" to hand out the candy at the door. So, I kinda commandeered a chair by the door (there was a surprising amount of kids out this year, since its actually pretty nice for Halloween--its usually a LOT colder). When I wasn't handing out candy and/or sitting in the arm chair, I was running around as the "unofficial" photographer" of the whole shindig.

It got pretty crowded for a while, with the kids all there, the adults all there, and everyone hanging out and having a good time. We had a couple old-school scary movies going on the TV (as well as the football games--they kept switching channels so I stopped trying to actually pay attention to the movies, lol), and we had a lot of conversations going at once, it was great.

Brian Flynn came around with his daughter T&Ting and we invited them to come in after they finished, which they did. This ended with me getting a shadow for the remainder of the night in the form of an adorable 5 year old dressed as a "witch fairy" (she was adamant about the distinction). She helped me hand out candy and at one point, cuddled into my lap as we waited for some new T&Ters

Moi in the armchair by the door dressed as a tavern girl--which turned out mildly appropriate for the night, lol.
