I was in charge of the games at this year's witches night out. We played charades/ catch phrase. Kathleen taught us all how to play Mafia. I was the last Mafia member killed, so the townspeople won. I guess I'm not cut out for a life of crime. But anyway, the thing that took me the longest to prepare was a Halloween trivia quiz. The winner won a pumpkin and carving tool. Let's see how smart all of you who couldn't come are. Answers will be posted in 3 days.
