Happy Halloween!

Last night was the Fourth Annual Halloween Party, although the party has changed locations now that Adam and his roommates have moved out of their old house. I changed my costume idea twice in the past two weeks, from Robin Sparkles, to one of the girls from Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love" video, to...

the 2009 New York Mets. All of them. Well, all the injured players, which is pretty much the entire team.

And no, I'm not flashing some gang signs there... one player broke his pinky, while another (Alex Cora) broke both of his thumbs. I'm also missing a knee brace for my right knee (Carlos Beltran), which I borrowed later in the evening. That right there shows you how miserable this season was; at least I was able to get some entertainment value out of it.

(And for those of you who may be curious, in the World Series match up from hell, I am rooting against the Phillies, which does not mean I'm rooting for the Yankees.)

Here's a close-up:

In this photo, you can see that I've labeled the various player's injuries. The baseball fans at the party really appreciated the costume (as well as some stranger on the street, who said it was pretty funny).

Also making an appearance, Dr. Horrible and Captain Hammer.

My cake pops from last year were requested, but I didn't feel like taking the time to painstakingly make those again. Instead, I made the cake balls (with the help of Carolyn, while Adam fled the apartment for the evening), which I think turned out pretty well.

Hope you all had a fun Halloween! Did you dress up? What was your costume?
