Halloween was fun!
We had a great time having all the friends over. Loved the costumes, and grace's suicide bomber took the cake for sure! We carved pumpkins, watched movies, played a failed game of Trivial Pursuit (half because the questions were ridiculous and half because certain people -ahem JON- were loud and drunk), hung out, and ate and drank a ton of bad for us stuff. Dominic's dragon-slaying jack-o-lantern was my favorite. I'm still figuring out how to remove some dripped wax from my carpet, but otherwise everything went off without a hitch.
On Halloween night we went to Hollywood to see The Nightmare Before Christmas at the El Capitan which was really fun, as always. There were tons of crazy costumes out on Hollywood Boulevard, so that was pretty entertaining too.
No trick-or-treaters though. We've got waaaaaaaaaay too much candy left. I'm just glad I got everyone to take pizza and beer back home.
Fun times, and pictures will come when I get them, so hold your horses. I don't do digital very often.

Run a hot iron over the paper towel, and the wax will lift from the carpet onto the paper towel. You should see a wet-looking spot on the paper towel if it's working. Move the paper towel so there's a clean section over the wax and repeat the ironing. Repeat the whole thing till the paper towel comes out clean.
