It turned out to be a nice warm night, and we didn't
actually need all the thousands of blankets I brought out. But that seems to be how it goes. On the bright side, I now have tons of lovely smelling blankets (washed with the unstoppable scent bead things) for the winter. Bonus. Had a nice sized group, and had 3 carvers competing for the Trumpkin to smash, which was awarded to Melissa who did an amazing job on a new Zombie Pumpkin pattern this year, the tell tale heart. Mom dressed up as Dustin from Stranger Things--the black wax over her front teeth nailed it. I went as Joyce Byers, which made for easier carving and moving around. We had a nice spread with much fewer leftovers, partly due to having the buffet in the living room with chairs--people were more apt to sit and chat with a plate of food and go back for more or graze. So that may have to be a new thing. All in all a fun night!
