Party Prep Pictures
I took Friday off work to get ready for Saturday. In the morning we went out for a quick breakfast and then headed off to the storage unit. We needed to dump the orange and black totes we had been storing in Virlena's car to make room for the dance floor. After the storage unit we went to the rental place. The dance floor came in 12 3 x 3 pieces. I think we had forgotten from last year how hard it was to get it in the house and set it up. Luckily I had learned from last year how to carry it so I wouldn't puncture my fingers every time I carried a piece in. While I was carrying it in Virlena was in the basement trying to piece it together. After about an hour we had it all set up. The basement was finally ready.
After we cleaned up the dining room and kitchen it was time to go grocery shopping. When we got back I made a batch of witches' fingers and I tried to make royal icing spiders. I guess I didn't quite make the frosting correctly because they never set. It wasn't a big loss because they didn't look very good anyway. I also made the radish eyeballs. We finally made it to bed around midnight.
On Saturday we got up and worked on some things we had to finalize. I did a few things to the bathroom upstairs, made the turkey head, founds spots for random things, etc. Virlena made costume awards, signs for parking, empty bottles, trash, the food and so many more things that I am not even sure of. At about 5:00 we were finally ready for the party. Since it wasn't supposed to start until 8:00 we had a few hours to rest until we had to get the food out at 7:30. # posted by melinda @ 6:33 PM

Send me your pictures Matt! I e-mailed you at your work. I wasn't sure if you got it or not. I thought it might have gone in your junk mail folder.
