Lots of people dropped off gifts who couldn't make it. We really appreciate all the love and support! And phat lewts!

The winning diaper wrapping entry. Norma did a wonderful outhouse!

Here are two diaper babies for the diaper wrapping contest.

The candy bars were, of course, inside the diapers.

The "Dump Truck." For the diaper wrapping contest.

There was also a contest for best wrapped diapers. Here are several of the entries.

They also had people sign names and decorate this baby blanket!

It was a lot of fun. I really appreciate everyone who put on the party and came and helped!

They made these great diaper nametags. And then in the middle of the party, you had to look inside the diaper. Number 1 means you lost, Number 2 was a winner!

There was a candy bar guessing game. Can you guess which candy bar was which?

So some good friends had a Baby Shower for us on Saturday. The duck marks the spot, as it were.

This was the other group counting up their cash.

It was a great time. We had about 2 dozen people there at the height of the party. I'm already planning next year.

Doug Foster's team ended up with the most booty, which I later found was mainly stolen from me when I wasn't looking! He won the bank's chest and the remaining funds.

Stacy did this pumpkin, which was very good.

The last contest was for the most booty. The two biggest moneyholders quickly began to solict donations in an effort to pool cash. Two teams quickly developed. This was "Team God", for obvious reasons.

Towards the end of the night, I held an auction of various goods: mystery chests for treasure, letters of enlistment for crew, and various items for people to spend their coin on.

Rex won "Captain of the Crew", which means he got more amulets and letters of enlistment than anyone else. He ended up with about 9 amulets and 6 letters. He won my hat.

There were three contests. The last one to occur was a pirate boat race in the pool. There were two teams.

This is Heather and Stacy, early on. Heather went as the pregnant schoolgirl.

Here are the Stambaugh's chatting around the fire. It was a great night, and everything pretty much took place outside.

Finally, some Halloween party pics! This was probably one of the best parties I've ever done. Rex, on the right, took these shots. This was his family.
