I feel like I've already had a great Halloween and it hasn't already happened. My family hosts a wonderfully big Halloween Bash before the actual Halloween night every year. With seven kids and lots of grandkids this party gets fun and everyone is into it with costumes, great food, games and fun.
We have a great white chicken chili (recipe coming), cornbread or rolls, homemade root beer complete with dried ice, a doughnut eating contests for kids and adults, candy fishing, skeleton games and more. I love it.
I won't be dressing up tonight but I will be enjoying the pumpkins we carved and a great Halloween play list I've created on Grooveshark. I can't take any of the credit for this playlist, because it comes from a couple places. First off, one of my absolute favorite bloggers, Stephmodo, made this list and then I've gathered other songs from around the internet. Please enjoy.

There are some good songs on this list... and some crap.
Here are some possibly additions:
Little Ghost - The White Stripes (Falls in love with a ghost. It's cute.)
Halloween - Dave Matthews Band (Be careful: it's a pretty dark song)
Revolution 9 - The Beatles (Random sound effects and creepy voices. It'll freak you out, trust me)
Pentagram - Cake (Don't let the upbeat tune fool you...)
I could probably think up some more, but this is a good start.
